Seems a bit pricey for me, but with 370kW it's nothing to be taken lightly. LS7, 7L V8 producing 640nM of torque and 370KW - I wonder how this things sales will be given the current (and increasing) petrol costs. See http://www.hsv.com.au/w427/ for more information. What you guys reckon?

by CAZB4 on 23-07-08 11:47 PM Looks no where near as good as the concept car. Meh, 7 litres!!?, it must inhale small children with a capacity that large. There is so much better to be had for that kind of coin. |

I think it's holden's attempt at curing AIDS. Victims are advised to crouch down infront of the bar and prepare for liftoff, as the car sucks them in to the engine and refines them in to 640nM. |

by OZL181 on 24-07-08 08:39 AM It is reported that this thing is a proper supercar. They have claimed it as Oz's first real supercar. As it can keep pace with alot of the ****e german scnhitzels around nurburg. It is expensive but only because There are only 90 being built, Obvioulsy they just dont want Bevan down the road to have one, which is pretty ****. But still it is a 427cu, 6sp TR6060, high flow exhuast and MRC!! plus that crazy red interior. Even Though its american and German parts I would still buy it if i had that kinda money becuase it's a holden built by Australian Idea's.:neo: |

by CRUISN on 24-07-08 09:17 AM Theyre building 427 of them, not 90. People who buy them will most likely be collectors or enthusiasts who will garage them 99% of the time. So i dont think people who buy them will be concerned about petrol prices. |

I'd like to see a video of this thing crackin' round a track. I'll bet my left nut that it would sing and would be capable of ripping quite a sufficient burnout / drift. |

i don't understand how that works really... if they can make that much power from an NA 7L then where's the 3.5L NA Flat4 with 320Nm and 185kw?? it's to do with balance and such isn't it??? a V8 is more balanced than a 4 cylinder??? |

Agreed 100%. Especially about the noisy Datsun. $155k is expensive for a 2door BMW with a lumpy bonnet. $300k is ludicrous for a twin-turbo 4WD VW Beetle. Anyone who thinks an LS7 is comparable with the old big blocks of the '60s and '70s needs to do a bit more research into modern Chev motors. FFS an LS1 (aka "Gen III") V8 is lighter than an RB26.
