Enjoy,
Burn.
Cool car.
Oh, yes I like it!! :cool:
Now that is a nice car, I just want one!!!! :) :D :) :D :)
I like the name, reminds me of my old Commie 64!
:D
I didn't know anybody outside of Australia was into HSV's. I picked up a Club Sport a couple of years ago and brought it to Scotland. It's rare, it's fast, and BMW driving wankers hate it, but hey, that should be a selling point... I like the Maloo too, but couldn't see myself in one of those with a dog in the back.

Can it take the American made Chevy Corvett? I doubt it... :D
Zero-to-60 in 4 seconds. Lateral acceleration of 1 g. And a top speed over 170 mph. 405-horsepower LS6 V8 engine and 6-speed manual transmission.

Sweet.
I like my Chevys as well. Just bought a new Impala, not a Vette (which is too far from my budget, plus I could see cramming the family in one) but nonetheless a sweet ride.

Actually... it'd be pretty neck 'n' neck.
The powerplant is the LS1 Chev V8, and HSV are looking at the LS6 variant, hopefully released in the VY model range, out in another 2 years.
But lets face it, with very few japanese exceptions, who else, builds immensly powerful, rear wheel drive coupe's and sedans, and still manage to make them affordable.
BMW, Merc, and even Ford, eat your hearts out.
That car is pretty cool, but I'd take the Chevy anytime over an import.

Are there any "American" cars anymore? Or flags? Why does every flag I find say made in China on it?
Personally, I'll take my Toyota Tacoma and the motorcycles I can fit in the back, one Kawasaki and one Laverda.

Yes, there are several plants in Canada, all in the province of Ontario. Ford has a plant in St. Thomas, an engine plant in Windsor, and another plant in Oakville. The Oakville plant is where every Windstar is made. DaimlerChrysler has a plant in Brampton and two more in Windsor, Chevy of course has a massive plant in Oshawa, and Honda has a plant in the tiny town of Alliston where they make Hondas and the Acura 1.7EL.
There used to be a Volvo plant in Halifax which has since closed, and the Camaro/Firebird plant in Quebec is closing very soon (if it hasn't already)
Those are the plants that I know of off hand.
That car is pretty sweet *** !
Very nice looking cars! They appear to be about the size of the Saturns here in the US. Let's see - Saturn with Corvette 5.7 - rear wheel drive: all I can say is LOOK OUT MUSTANGS!!

I dunno. The Aussie car looks kinda like one of those tiny-rice burning Honda Civic's I like to run over with my TRUCK!
Neh, same size as a corvette or mustang
