We have it good at the moment with the great cars we can buy. Would hate to have a to drive around in jap crap for the rest of my life. Sadly that is where we are heading. Keep the Aussie cars going guys.

So when can I order my V8, RWD, manual, ute, without the semi-pneumonic V8?

Well the VF2 did get the LS3. It looks like the VF2 GTS may have a -R version. Wonder what engine it will get.

I know someone running this pack. Made 380rwkw with 300kms on it and was ****ed with the money spent Just got a head and cam done on it (another 5k) and is now at 443rwkw with a mild tune because it's still only got 400kms down. Why you wouldn't just start off with an xr8 or lsa hsv is beyond me.

Why on earth would you dress your promotional car up to look like excrement when to get sales you need it to look hot and sexy?






And what is it with performance Commodores these days that the ride height has to give you a nose bleed?




Tuners like Tekno are streets ahead in the way they present a car, this might be a HSV and not an SSV but at least they have tried to make it look good enough to own.






Tekno - 600kw @ $18495 fitted.

Wheels on the red Tekno car are gorgeous.

Got to say that if I was buying a new car right now it would probably be SS-V Redline wagon or the HSV version if I could afford it at the time.

Just had to come on here and update my post on the previous page. Went in my mates VF with 443rwkw last night and had a quick drive. I won't write up a kill stories list but jesus. I've been in a lot of hot streeters including worked Miami's and street/drag cars but this thing is probably the best street car I have ever been in. Completely amazed by it. The way it puts power down through the rear end would make any Ba-Fgx owner envious too.
