Melbourne Motor Show: HSV W427
February 29, 2008 by George Skentzos
The GM LS7 engine has made its official debut in the HSV range, with the impressive W427 – boasted as Australia’s first true supercar.
Its 7.0-litre V8 engine develops an incredible 370kW and a stump-pulling 640Nm.
Topped off with 20-inch alloy wheels and a carbon-fiber lip spoiler, the W427 will be hand built at a rate of 4 per week.
No word yet on final pricing, however expect north of $125,000.










MATHEW….cometh the hour cometh the man. We will cross paths one day chicken who picks on women! Then we will see what you say about BM as you will freeze with shakes!
If you stopped with the silly personal views on others as nobody is privvy to full 100% on all facts and what not. This should not be a part of this magnificent site and if you knew a smidgeon of cars then you would have some merit in regulars eyes.
The site is great and some rather dysfunctional boneheads wreck it for others! Grow up Mathew and stop it as Iam telling you ONE MORE REPEAT comment and tatto my first sentence in your thoughts! Please leave women alone is your warning!
Quote NM: “The site is great and some rather dysfunctional boneheads wreck it for others”
Well said NM. Oh wait, you were referring to yourself right?
I’m weighing in. I see you’re online tonight, Matthew. A perfect opportunity to apologise, if you’re man enough.
LOL Bot…We all rememeber your ill-informed comment that builders make $30,000 a year and you and that other ill-informed unit (still learning life too) could not comment the difference between a builder and a carpenter! I dont need to comment any further as you have trouble getting your head around some issues in life as of your jaded thought processes. I dont need to say anymore as you are showing yourself to be ill-informed (HA HA HA HA HA….again) and oblivious; and are making a fool of yourself! HA HA HA HA HA HA
Jbot the classic – Iam oblivious to women bashing!
I would love for you to find the quote of me saying builders make $30k a year, as I never said those words. TP did, but I did not. You seemed to have trouble with the concept of me, an engineer, earning more than you, which still surprises me.
Do you want to remind me why you have changed your name at least 4 times BM?? Roberto, Colonel Klink anyone??
Found it yet BM? Didn’t think so!
Thanks Alborz……..
Sorry, meant to be saying NM. Sorry BM!
Welcome Back Gorgeous! OXOX
Jbot…der Iam dumb as builders make $30,000per year. Talk about stupid! You have always been simple and ill-informed. Fact is with name change simple one…whatever whatever I do what I want! The JBot brain strain….gee if you are the epitome of brains god help us!
Maybe that other clone of you – TP can come an lend you another braincell…..JOKE
So I take it you couldn’t find that “quote”? Now that’s a bit embarrasing isn’t it NM? Your credibility is spiralling lower than I thought was possible!
Oh, and on the name change, I like how you (Colonel Klink) backed up you (Roberto) when you tried to prove your point, as no one else agreed with you!
LOL….the engineer. It was TP and you who joined in agreeing with the $30K PA. Get a borelog where it fits as might give you more light up there and get the dark outta ya nogging. Yoiu remember what Andrew M said….didnt think so dirt doctor, or are you a civil engineer Maybe that other clone of you in life – TP can come an lend you one braincell, you will have barely enough to chat on life and common sense away from cars; albeit that is a limited one as well. Engineer makes more then a builder. …..HA HA HA HA HA HA – JOKE QUITE SEVERE.
Sure you are not Matthew as you all shakes getting my name right Alborz…I mean JLo, I mean Bot. So you get well over 6 figures uni boy?
First year out of uni I am actually. Gee, that must hurt. Still haven’t found the quote then?
I dont need to find your ill informed quote and if you having something to say Engineer boy – say it to my face instead of hiding here Mathew…I mean Alborz…JBot. Your best comeback….name change. Who cares ya loser!
I will leave you as you are making yourself look stupidier Engineer boy bot.
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA….in the quicksand. You make more then me. JBot sinks to dumber level. You shock me as the more you confirm – the stupider you are actually. HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA…as if!
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA…gotta go now Bot your Mum wants you as big dog time. HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
Yeh mate, making my self look stupid. You are making yourself look foolish by not finding it. Pretty sure most people on here would not believe a reference to a quote if the quote cannot be reproduced! Not to mention my posts are actually legible!
Earn a bit more than you expected hey?
Haha NM looks like youve been caught out.
HA LOL so heaps….yeah I build heaps and make your salary in about 3homes maximum and highly unlikely an L plater makes over $150K first year out uni – all I do is babysit people like you. Mate you crack me up. LOL so much – Iam in tears! Oh god your too much! Ha Ha Ha….way too much!
LOL birds of a feather. TP and Jbot…losers and uni boys. Ciao fools.
So you couldn’t find that quote? Took you a while looking for it. I don’t make over $150k, give me a couple of years =)
You earn so much NM… but spend so much time on a computer… these two points are incompatible in 99% of cases (Make that 100% of cases when your a builder)
JBOT earlier quote tonight – “…builders make $30k a year, as I never said those words. TP did, but I did not. You seemed to have trouble with the concept of me, an engineer, earning more than you, which still surprises me”
HA HA HA HA
What was the point of that?
BM, PM not working for me. Don’t bother, I enjoy it! He just feels threatened me, a successful “uni boy” haha
*threatened by me
1. Acknowledging convo occured and I really dont care digging up as not a nerd (which you 2 are, as you TP on here heaps during days and I aint) as you two simpletons were going on about $30K PA
2. I don’t make over $150k, give me a couple of years =)
THIS SHOWS HOW MUCH OF A PAIR OF TRUE TOSSERS YOU ARE!
By your own admission you underscore yet talk it up. Talk about a pair of punces with lacking life skills period.
HA HA HA….losers
number 2 last quote is Jbot’s recent quote tonight…Ha Ha
You first made reference to $100k, which I said I did earn, and then you changed your argument to suit yourself, as you do, to $150k, hence the joking “give me a few years”.
And TP and I are separate people, and merging us into one to suit your argument is idiocy.
jbot, don’t other this guy, he’s ignorant.
I just like to see how deep the holes he dig get!
1. There was no reference to $100,000 tonight…deadset you must remember the convo months and months ago (8months ago?) and am shocked in another year (2008) your level of income is same.
2. Dont twist argument around, as you do, as your quote earlier tonight you stated “…You seemed to have trouble with the concept of me, an engineer, earning more than you, which still surprises me”. What comes as no suprise is how stupid you are….AGAIN! So Iam setting the bar of your comment tonight “…earning more than you” and the tax year is only half over. The $100,000 from a bygone era convo just indicates how stupid you truly are…AGAIN!
3. As for your ridiculous claim of TP. My comment “THIS SHOWS HOW MUCH OF A PAIR OF TRUE TOSSERS YOU ARE!” was at TP AS Iam on here not during days or rarely.
Ha Ha Ha Ha….dead set you are a tosser
2. Iam highlighting that you are acknowledging convo took place by your earlier comment
Matthew – women hassler!
Shows how you are in TP, Mikka, Dingo, Jbot class – the flock of turkeys is growing!
Gone>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>cya
Can we move on now to more relevant things, Mayby check tomorrow and all the irrelevant comments will be gone. History.
Cheers Folks.
I refer to “six figures” (as you said at 8.25PM, 4/3/08) as $100k.
Quote 1 NM: My comment “THIS SHOWS HOW MUCH OF A PAIR OF TRUE TOSSERS YOU ARE!” was at TP AS Iam on here not during days or rarely.
Response: So you refer to a person as “a pair”? Weird.
Quote 2 NM: 2. Iam highlighting that you are acknowledging convo took place by your earlier comment
Response: Acknowledging a convo took place is irrelevant when you are claiming I said something. You are claiming I said something when in fact someone else said it! Surely you understand why that doesn’t make any sense whatsoever!
Yeah NM youre making a fool of yourself, give it up already
I draw your attention to the following:
1. JBOT quoted March 4th 7.44pm stating “…You seemed to have trouble with the concept of me, an engineer, earning more than you, which still surprises me”.
Reply: LOL a >>>>first
…year out of uni claiming to be on wage in excess of $100,000 (six figures) is too funny for words! Further, be more specific and accurate in your recall as yes used term “six figures”, but not numerically as you allege and I looked in my comments for this $100,000 only! Do you know “anything about wage rates” as you are an ‘L Plater’ there as well! LOL HA HA HA HA thats too funny as in own business “FIRST YEAR OUT OF UNI BOY” arseclown tosser!
In addition, the conversation did take place with between me, yourself and also TP some 8months ago or more when laughable out-of-touch comment made of builder making $30,000PA. It doesnt matter about who said it as you acknowledged it took place and never challenged the comment which you state TP made – in fact you and TP had massive trouble understanding what a carpenter versus a builder makes and Andrew M commented on this towards end of conversation.
2. JBot quoted me saying “pair”
Reply….gee typo, get over it!
MY CHALLENGE TO YOU IS TO INDICATE HOW IT IS POSSIBLE FOR A FIRST YEAR ENGINEER TO BE ON A $100,000 SALARY ‘FIRST YEAR OUT OF UNI’ AS THIS IS TOOOOOOOO FUNNY TO BELIEVE….obviously you or TP (nurse, accountant) are also well versed on wage rates too. GEE A PAIR OF LOSERS AND TOSSERS!
Come on Naughty M. give it a break and moved on dude.
“The site is great and some rather dysfunctional boneheads wreck it for others! Grow up Mathew and stop it as Iam telling you ONE MORE REPEAT comment and tatto my first sentence in your thoughts! Please leave women alone is your warning!”
Like your an authority, get over yourself, lol.
lets get back to the car people..
I think if Holden want to make a supercar they should start with the coupe.. at least it looks interesting..
the W427 is boring..
“the W427 is boring’
You idiot, tell me another car that has 500hp for 125K? none!. The 427 will also kill anything in the forth coming FG rage as well.
Gee Moe that was a big statement.
lol BM as big as it will ever get…….
Go Ford and Jamie Whincup !!!!!!!!!!!!
Bavarian Missile, you silly gold digger, next you will be after James Packer lol.
what happens when you have an hsv ve gts and a fpv cobra. Whos side do I back??? Or am I just in a different league to you all.
