Hsv Gts-r 385kw On Sale October!

[Billsta]

Where really up the creek with the New Wheels magazine reporting on the new VE GTS 427 385kw to be here in October 2007. It is offical that 100 to 150 of these will be built and one has already been down the production line to test its dry sump clearance to the Cross member. It will have a completely revised driveline and with 620Nm of torque is expected to be by far the fastest Australian production car ever built. With genuine 12 second quaters expected and a $120 000 price tag it will be as fast as a M5 at half the price. Expensive Daewoo Dealers have had an idea about it for a while and have taken deposits on them already. The first prototype was a white VE GTS that went down the line to see if any of the componets would effect assembly as they are different to the normal GTS and had a tag on it DONT REV PAST 4000rpm.

PS. If they come out I will be hunting it down and blowing it's doors off in my stock looking PHOON!

I'd hate to consider what 427 modern cubes could be capable of with a few mods...

if I had a weapon like yours billsta I'd probably do same! What are they doing engine wise? Blower or the 6.2ltr?

If it comes out what will FPV do???

Nothing there not in the performance game they only like overpriced bodykitted sales....

Just dropped into to the newsagency had a quick read, 7.0ltr engine. No details on body but will reportedly using some of the corvette gear eg. drivetrain

I bet this 7.0L GTS-R will weigh 2000kg or more!

[F6 RAPID]

it will weight approx the same from the reports though we'll have to wait and see. Engine weighs the same corvette gearbox is 2kg lighter.

It would have at least 300rwkw maybe even upto 320rwkw, anyone know what the corvettes run stock on the dyno in the u.s?

My (stock looking) 427rwkw 1770kg Phoon is on stand by for attack!!
