thought I might start a different thread as the other VE thread is much too big

I CANT WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!
Heres to hoping the rumored LS7 GTS comes!!!!!!!!!!
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
ive seen a couple, cant remember where tho :s
first australian production car to have 20's std
Cant wait for the tyre prices to plummet
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
saw the caprice in werribee to, looked pretty nuts... it was beige in colour looked bit like and audi exterior cross with a honda accord euro interior
bahaha
I don't know how much more insane Holden can get with their engines. I hate knowing that Holden will most definetely have a factory 320KW+ LS2 HSV. The GenIII had plenty of potential and now these!

its big, and rwd......... a V8 is the best thing for it!!
EDIT: .........oh, and whats wrong with you? A V8 suits anything!!!!!!
EDIT2: The HSV Grange should have a V10 or V12, that would farking rock
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
a caprice needs a v8 more than any model, its the heaviest by far, exept for the grange... if anything the factory 8 isnt enough, both need to come stock with chargers
and yeah the ve is very euro based u can tell, that isnt a bad thing tho.. the best cars in the world are made there. looking how plain the vt vx's e.t.c were and how good HSV got them looking, i cant imagine how good the VE's will be as they already look pretty tough just standard.

yeah seen alot of the new colours at work today, EVOKE is nice.
We have a ****load of omegas in and a SV6, so much easier to use, and the car is just magic, I love it.
Cant wait to see what HSV will do to it, LS7 GTS.... I hope so.

not really (if you mean you think it wont happen)
The GTS has always been on the tail of the BMW M5 in terms of power, and since thats gone to 500hp, it only makes sense that the GTS will jump to 500hp.
And the Clubsports and whatnot are currently 297kw. So 317kw (425hp) for the jump to a new model, which is a heavier car, only makes sense aswell.
I think the most often rumored figures of 425hp (300c SRT8) for the base HSVs and 500hp (BMW M5) for the GTS are VERY likely

Well, all the people expecting massive increases in power will be slightly disapointed when the cars are launched.
