So what you’re saying Brad is that your decision was based on [or influenced by] a measley 2Kw?

Given that the Senator has 317Kw as opposed to the F-6s 315Kw.. Not to mention the fact that in relation to the F6; HSV needs an extra 2 Litres and 2 Cylinders to get those extra 2 Kw.

If only HSV could get the amount of Power out of the Holden V6 that FPV do out of the I6…. Unforunately though we will have to wait for the next generation Direct Injection Twin Turbo Optimised [DITTO] V6 engine

WOW all the ford lovers are bored clearly!!! Drove both the FPV 6 and 8 in a word boring felt like a taxi yet bumpy. Drove the senator once, felt it had a special something and it does 317 of it. All owners remeber jealousy has always been fords weakness.

I JUST GOT ONE!!!!

I’m sure the article meant to say “powered by Chevrolet’s LS3 317kW V8 engine” not “powered by HSV’s LS3 317kW V8 engine”

Wheelnut,
with the W427 wheels…….

then they went and fitted them to something else.

I couldnt believe it when i had seen they did that. Totally ruined the exclusivity of them

very true i personaly would not pay 150+k for it.

but the most unigue car to come of an aus production line was the Bill Bourke special XW 428 Cobra Jet falcon GT falcon.

I know what you mean Andrew M I think most Aussie Car Enthusiasts would rather have the WPS Enhanced Bathurst Edition.

Even though you can buy a Clubbie or a GTS and get HSV to send it next door to WPS to have the suspension and srakes upgraded not to mention the supercharger bolted onto it and a range of other options like colour coded interior…
For some reason it could void the warranty Yet they send the car to the UK and the warranty is okay?

The most truly unique Australian Muscle car to come out of either camps in the recent past is the W-427
It has a number of “exclusive” features which no tother car in the HSV garage has: the 7.0 Litre V8; the wheels; the bodykit.
It doesn’t need any tacky stripes/stickers across the bonnet or a bookshelf decklid spoiler to stand out from the rest.
