I'll buy Skap a carton of Bundy and Bomber a carton of whatever cats piss he drinks if the XR6T comes within 50 kilowasps of the GTS. I'll take a carton of Jim beam cans from both if they don't!

I'm talking quarter mile, not HP.

You're still on. The Falcon will never have enough traction to do it.

This thing will never take the place of a Falcon or Commodore even if it is rear wheel drive.

And they'll miss the whole point for Australia, and only give us the V6....Bloody stupid. All they have to do is look at Holden's sales figures and figure out what sells in the segment.

Hyundai was one of the biggest recruiter of Holden's engineers and designers when they started letting them all go, so there will be a little Aussie in them, hopefully a 5ltr.

These are getting cheaper.($80,000) Owners must be realizing that the last GTS with the supercharged LS9 are going to whip the old W427.

Last Falcon ute has rolled off the assembly line. The beginning of the end.

As it stands the last big engine holden might not be what it should be (for the last curtain call). I really hope they don't stuff up the last hurrah but I am certainly not confident after what hsv have said can't happen because of cost.
