If you car was 100% stock then that would be a happy dyno. Although an exhaust and a bit more boost should make close to that sort of power at the wheels

Nah, just a stupid one... lol
That is a computer generated image of what CGIAutomotive.com 'think' the new Commodore will look like... Here is the full guff on http://www.caradvice.com.au/11456/20...commodore-cgi/ (http://www.caradvice.com.au/11456/2010-holden-vf-commodore-cgi/)
To me it looks too much like a falcoon...

23-12-08, 08:33 GMT+10#36 Hmmm, looks like this is turnin into another chat thread already!
Pretty sure VF is the designation for the upgrade, and as calais3L correctly said, VG has been used before.
Cast your mind back to the coupe 60 concept (http://www.carblog.co.za/wp-content/...e-60-side.jpg) (http://www.carblog.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/holden-coupe-60-side.jpg)).
The only exterior features on that car that aren't production ready are the side exit exhaust and centre lock alloys.
Concept cars are often used to gauge public opinion on new designs. I wouldn't be suprised if a facelifted SS featured a very similar front bumper, and even that cool looking vent which blends into the bodywork.
Had it not been for the 60th anniversary, Holden had said that the coupe 60 concept may not have been revealed to the public for a long time. These guys are constantly working on projects like this, many of which will never be seen by people outside of Holden. Pity.

23-12-08, 15:39 GMT+10#40 It would be pretty easy for Holden to do a twin turbed V6. That motor is a global one, and is used in many different forms by other manufacturers such as Saab and Alfa Romeo. Saab have a few blown motors based on this one - the know how is there. I reckon we'll see more efficient, direct injection versions before a hi-po one featuring a couple of snails tho
