After seeing (& hearing) one of these take-off last night… wow! what a car. If one can’t appreciate such a car, that’s their problem… I can’t get that sound out of my head.

The fact is that our local cars are made for our tastes. We like weekend holidays up the coast with five on board and all their luggage. We like easy steering, and compliant rides. We like useable grunt, and good looking cars. The EVO has its purpose as an everyday track car. Of course it would munch the W427, it is AWD and weighs about 350kg less. The Holden Commodore and Ford Falcon are family cars with a little bit of sport thrown in for whem mum or dad wants to have a bit of fun. That is the order of things. If you dont like the car, thats fine, but many still do.(And they are not all bogan’s, im from Fiji and i drive an SS-V, and im definitely no Bogan)

Yes you are right but it is only for short distance. A 24h race in Nurburgring and your car will be lucky to finish. I do not care about your acceleration or top speed put your car on the racing circuit and let see!! Even in this country Bathurst 12h, how many time the V8 won that race!!!!!

Saw a W427 on the road the other day in Silver – it looked great. Good work HSV.

My purchase decision is purely on the basis that this car will be a collectable in the years to come. Sure I can buy an Evo or whatever but generally these cars always lose value.
I’m hoping for a decent percentage profit for this investment, if not at least I would still have a car to enjoy years down the track.
Also I could always just go buy a GTR if need be and give it a flogging around the track then probably give it away as a charity organised prize that would go on to help cure cancer or something with the money raised.

Hsv should have done a better job with this car, looked way to bland. Should have had a wild body kit, better paint patterns, It looks like a tarted up omega with a massive V8. N why such a huge V8? Why not supercharge the 7 ltr V8, nw that would have been awesome, should have been superchared for the price anyway

One more thing. How come no one has a go at MB for charging 20 000 for a pointed star, but when HSV charges for top Aussie engineering you so-called australian’s go up in arms. The europeans may have 100′s of years of experience, but that doesnt mean they dont stuff up(Citroen, BMW X6, MB R-Class.) If im a bogn for supporting my country then im a bogan.

HSV is not asking anyone on this website to buy their cars, nor is it pitching it at you people. If you people have the image that this is a bogan car well thats just fine as none of you will ever buy one even if you had the money. So hows about you all stop giving your opinion on this car and just let HSV and its customers enjoy one of the great Australian cars. And just so you know most parts of most cars you buy are imported from other countries. ie ZF gear box. SO dont bag HSV for importing an engine. If the press, V8 supercar drivers and Jeremy Clarkson like this car then you can be assured its one helluva car.
