    The price would be $130,000 plus on road costs I was thinking about it. But the HSV GTS with Twin Turbo's producing around 550Kw for under $100,000 sounds a lot better deal.

    My neighbour had one of these bad boys, sounded like music to my ears when the v8 screams down the street.. He tried to go me once, in the wet so the back kept sliding out My little gen 2 was happy staying behind at a close pace through corners but not to pick a fight against such a beast

    i absolutely love these cars !! the sound is simply amazing !!

    the only thing i dont like is that they are only automatic however when i test drove it was like a DSG so so so fast and smashed into gear like a rifle bolt...

    The corvette in that second video sounds like it has a Rotary in it.

    Not sure about remote turbochargers.... I guess there's nowhere else to fit them in that car but for it to have an intake in the front, plumbed to turbos at the rear and then back to the intercooler/engine again. It might only be 5 psi but that would be ridiculously laggy.
