The article suggests that the engine could come from the Camaro ZL1 which is about 1 sec faster to 100km/h than the GTS and GT335 although if Wheels magazine achieved a 4.5sec 0-100 with a manual Rspec an auto Rspec would most likely be very close to the ZL Camaro figure.

Figures of over 400+kw and 700+nm were mentioned in the article,I don't believe that GMH will produce an "everyday" GTS with 400+ kw,unless there is a special edition,limited run of a GTS?

W427 owners are going to be pissed if they do!!!

Interesting times ahead. Can only be win win for consumers

So its the chev ls9 ..... Good donk and a very good partner to go toe to toe with the coyote but as said big doubts for a every day fitment

Limited runs and gts maybe

Bring it on I say more decent hi performance australian built cars the merrier

Nah its the LSA jet not LS9, we wont see the LS9 here.

Thought lsa was n/a ?

Scrap that was thinking ls7

How much would a HSV cost with over 400kw, might as well go buy an AMG.

countdown to next supercar scare in

Agree with lowfly! HSV's are so ridiculously priced anyway for what you get, if they add another $10k or so to the price then people will start looking at second hand Merc's and BMW's. Well I would personally

And a GT-P isn't?

Clubsports are good value at the moment. But in all honesty.. you get a hell of alot of car in the GTS. The whole dash computer thingy with all the read outs, magnetic suspension (MRC) guages.. etc . Ford still falls way short on this front. Yeah.. theyve got the grunt now.. but the rest is a bit average.

HSV will come in hard Id say withy the power stakes.. and us ford guys will be left lanquishing. Its what they do.. and have done it for years.

Outsider... yeah.. makes you wonder where its all going to stop?!!! can they just keep upping the power with every model? Or will Fords progress be haulted..abruptly with the end of the FG platform and HSV with the VE ?

Modern classics in the making me thinks
