The car was a tiptronic auto, the turbo was awesome, thought it had more torque than a V8 commodore, not much Lagging, it F**King FLEW ! nearly shat my pants..... The trick to get free test drives is to turn up at the dealers in your dad's or mate's real fancy car and say that you are looking for a new fast car, and cannot decide between the HSV and the XR6Turbo. That's how i did it ! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Funny n/a88VLsl -- I was driving back to adelaide [from renmark] on saturday, and saw two brand new HSV's, i havnt quite worked out which models they were yet, but damm, they looked sweeet Still think the VY exec is the ugliest commodore i've ever seen... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

yeah the execs look very average but i can wait to see the hsv models plus the ss looks awsome even the sv8 looks pretty good in the flesh looked average in pics i saw but when i saw it , it looked damn fine. gee wouldnt mind takin and xr6 turbo for a test drive either just i doubt they let L platers test dive a car like that might have to get my dad to try get one for a test drive and see what there like.
