At around $72k its awesome value. Looks like HSV have beaten FPV to the punch again

It also wants to go hard all the time.But if you had to choose a car to keep, drive around town and on long trips, as well as the odd fast blast, we'd take the Typhoon.New from HSV - Clubsport raceday spec!Comes with only one seat, remaining interior removed, no aircon, but is 2 secs quicker than the standard Dealer Team Spec car.Show those normal folk what they're missing!Raceday spec can be yours for $10,000.HSV does not warrant against heat stroke, physical exhaustion or the inconvenience of only being able to tolerate driving the thing for 30 mins before you need a rest.hehe Edited 11/06/05 01:43 PM by SavageD

But I have read the artice before...I know what Id buy.. Why spend all that money on the team spec when ya can get a typhoon.. and with the money you have saved get an edit or goto Nizpro..I think HSV are reaching hard to match up with the Typhoon and Tornado..Id rather get a car that I can drive around the town and still give it some every so often and not have to fill it up every second day..
