That's horrible.

Also the scoop looks way to small, as does the rear wing. I also think both need to have more curvature. The car obviously isn't as square as the original.

That will be interesting to see.
I want to see the VK group C redone, that would look ace.

Scoop? It's not a scoop, it's a bonnet bulge, and it's huge, you just can't see it from this angle, plus the spoiler is supposed to replicate the old school HSV spoilers, really square and more of a lip then a spoiler. I think it's ok, I doubt it's going into production though, more of a little side project to increase interest in Holden, just like the Torana they unveiled a few years ago.

Well originaly they were a scoop, a rear ward facing scoop. It pulled cold dense air in from in front of the wind screen.

Who really care's what the original was like? 
The whole car was square. The VE is not. Use the same basic shape of course, I feel the wing that is on the VE is too square for the shape of the vehicle.

Thirdly, i was referring to the VK commodore, which ran in the Group C, and the early group A. The Group C VK was painted Dayglo orange and white. Big arse flares and all that get up.
This is what i'd like to see reproduced also.

The Torana was a concept car, they make lots of concept cars (See latest "Coupe 60")

Brendan, I don't think HDT and Holden  are estranged any longer. As they work closely with the HDT race team (HRT and HDT Toll, are both owned by Tom Walkinshaws parent company i think).

Oh so it's a Corsa style set-up, no affiliation to Holden. Nice, yeah I thought this was just another concept car, but I like it, go the retro style. They had to do something to compete with all the FPV love children, and the remake of the GT cos the Monaro was p**s poor.

Yeah but you have to look at market-ability. You're one of those guys that laughs at some one because they bought looks over power, good on you, but alot of people buy looks over power, what's the average car buyer know about mechanics. FPV had a line up of good looking cars with names like Cobra, Typhoon, etc. And they sold better than the Monaro and CV8Z, that's fact. Although Ford, FPV, Holden and HSV sales have been sliding for a long time due to the Asian four-cylinders and the Europeans.


Nick

looks like **** but then what can you expect its a holden

Hi,

I don't mind it. The pictures of it have been floating for a couple of months. It was in Unique Cars two months ago.

Estimated to be around $90/100k

Cheers,
