if you drive the car just 5000km/year, in 20years time that’d be 100000km on the odometer. would anyone pay a large sum of money for a so-call collectible? there are more better ways to invest $150000.

Now, as this car is killed off with barely a quarter of the scheduled run built due to lack of buyer acceptance and HSV’s greed, it will be forever known as the failed HSV that didn’t sell, and the Australian public can proudly hold their heads up and say, “we Walkinshawed Walkinshaw!” Millatime

Well said, you’ve hit the nail on the head exactly on the sweet spot. What a beautiful comment, you should print that out, frame it and hang it on the wall.

Anyone with half a brain after a serious Australian performance car at a fair and reasonable price is buying an F6 or regular Clubsport and doing some work on it themselves, mind you with the new FG F6 you hardly need bother modifying it, Im quite happy to get one and keep it stock, those things are absolute weapons.

Note to Walkingshaw, grossly excessive greed will land you in trouble, many of the Wall street bankers have learned this and if the lack of market accpetance for your grossly over-priced baby has cost you a financial penalty / (loss), my heart bleeds for you, NOT !!!

This car is 5 years too late and $30,000 too expensive,if they made it 5 years ago it would have sold like hot cakes.

Hummerbug, I think people have a right to be precious when they are spending $150K on something like this.

HSV should have stripped all of the weight out of this car and made it a barely disguised race car for the road, in the spirit of the old GTHO’s and A9X Torana’s etc. Strip a few hundred kilo’s out of it and see how fast it would be then. Also get rid of that red interior. If they did want to compare it to the M5′s and AMG’s of this world, why give it such a tacky interior?

Must be getting close to being only “Australia fatest specially hand built car” then?

But then again I always thought that this was a bit of a “hand job” anyway.

I may have missed it but how many will actually be built now.
Initially it was 427, then 200. Now they’re closing the books on the 200 early.
How many have actually sold?
