id believe it tho... holden have left a market for the turbo's... the GTO should be a v6t; not a v8. the GTS should be the v8

actully if i can be of assistance its 3.6 litre not 3.9 and the turbos been used are of simliar size to what we know as a t3 (but a garet special (roller bearing etc etc)is early testing the power figures have been up and surpassed 330kws(flywheel) on very low boost(read6-7psi) i believe they will be released with around 280-290 kw(final kw wont be decided till late dec early jan and will be offered only in SS ,Calais and a new sports model statesman...(this last one hasnt been confirmed as of yet but i have seen a couple in testing)

Let holden bring out the turbo version but it won't be like a nissan motor And for that money there going to sell for you may as well buy a nice skyline GTR or build a monster of a VLT,You cant beat jap technology. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I really could care less They have a chance to make or break. I mean, they are meant to be going with an all new shape right? So its either going to be really nice, or really really crook. Then with the engine, if they keep it v6, I'm not really a fan.. why not go the inline? As for the actual engine, its probably already out and about somewhere in Europe, as Holden is probably only going to steal it and change it around for us anyway.

I'm so unexcited by the prospect of a turbo V6 it's not funny... the old ones couldn't even keep it together N/A It'll need all those kW to pull the fat barge they put it into
