I saw a black one on the M1 at the Gold Coast start of this year. I think the guy got weirded out that i was perving on his car so he started driving a bit faster but i wasn't go to let him get away, then i turned to do shoulder check, heard this sweet ass roar and when i looked back i saw him way up in the distance and i new i had no cance catching back up..... so i cried...hahaha :cry:

There is one that lives around Glen Iris here in Vic. Two streets from my mates house. They are fugly looking cars. I saw it once and was sorely dissapointed. Looks like a Senator from the rear with a different badge, and one of those god awful aborted looking series 2 VE HSV's from the front. The power in stock form is pretty good, but for the cash you pay for one, you may as well buy an SS and spend $50,000 and you could probably get MORE power than one of these produces. I guess they are priced that way for the future "rarity" factor.

Personally, i think it's silly spending that kind of cash on something so ugly just because there was only a few made. Each to their own though i guess.

[minux]

Can't say they impress me much, rather ugly imho.

W427's are just a farkin rip off for a low tech hunk of ****.

There is one on carsales - $168,250 drive away:

2008 HSV W427 E Series MY09 Cars For Sale in WA - carsales.com.au - carsales.com.au

If you appreciate quality and engineering, you can get a 2009 Merc C63 W204 AMG second hand for $160,000 drive away:

2009 MERCEDES C63 AMG W204 Cars For Sale in VIC - carsales.com.au - carsales.com.au

Or you can get a 2008 Merc CLS63 AMG for $167,000 drive away:

2008 MERCEDES CLS63 AMG C219 MY08 Cars For Sale in VIC - carsales.com.au - carsales.com.au

You can also get a V8 BMW M3 for similar money.

If I was considering spending that sort of cash on a car, a shithouse Holden would be at the very bottom of my list.
