At around 100K it would have made sense, but at M3 or Godzilla pricing, it’s absolute cr@p yet again, as in any VE. The HSV versions aren’t particularly handsome either, with just-so-it-looks-different front and rear ends. Making only 427 of them is simply pretentious exclusivity. At the end of the day it’s just your usual Commodore, only with a Corvette engine and what-have-you.

You know you could buy a Nissan GTR for that much and it eats everything.

168K HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

who is dumb enough to buy that,

Go to a ford dealer by 2 FG F6s, and send them to herrod and for a TOTAL $85K each on road,

you will have W427 Eater.

This car is awesome . it has great power and looks great to, it could kill any FPV v8 in any type of race. FPVs cars a great to but they arnt producing enough power to shift all that weight . It shows how sad ford is their 6 cylinders are faster than their 8s. Who cares if hsv is using old technology its still better and faster than any new ford v8 engines.

i personally think its beautiful
nothing like a 427ci engine being produced in australia
and to think its almost in the classes of the BMW M5..
but i agree with most people, abit over priced for what it is.. anyone can grab that bodykit, paint, engine, drive train… make more hp for about 50 big ones, but, its still an amazing car

my score
10/10
love it

The F6 will be as quick as this. The XR6T nearly runs 5 seconds flat so the F6 should be running a decent sub 5 second time.

PS: HSV will never use the LS9.

Moe.. whats with the insult..

the car looks boring.. and if you read the articles written about this car they are talking price in excess of 125k..

The coupe is a more exciting concept..

Plus its not about 500hp.. i think most engines with 7 litre capicity can do that.. you can good power with smaller euro engines… this car has too much american rubbish in it..

“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.

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..

…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!

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”.
