Umm.. I'm the one guessing, but it is based on standard physics equation of power and derived torque. 490 atw on a 6.0 with those mods is really good, 588 is more than tuned 6.2 and doesn't add up, likely calculated engine torque.
Mine is tuned pretty much to the max on standard cam and gets 540Nm.

Ah sorry I missed the atw part.
No idea at all atw torque, I only saw the engine torque figure.

Awesome pic!! Looks fantastic! I reckon the Matt black bit on the front bar would look good in gloss black but that's just my opinion, still looks wicked though.

Could always get it spray painted in gloss black? Just a thought, anyhow looks good whatever way.

Nah I don't want A permenant fix on there. Plastidip and vinyl are the only decals I've gone because they can be easily removed.

Looks to good to remove, I guess maybe unless you decide to change your mind down the track.

Yeah I agree.
I'm going to end up with sports armor on there anyway.
But it's mainly only removable because for when I sell it one day.

Great looking wagon Ron - love the red with a bits of black here and there!

I saw a red Audi S3 today with black wheels and one of those tinted panoramic glass roof, it looked good and got me thinking - would you ever consider vinyl wrapping the roof gloss black?
Just a suggestion, since you've done the sides and rear with gloss black stripe, and they've turned out good.

Like this white wagon: http://forums.justcommodores.com.au/ve-wm/200537-new-ve-ssv-wagon-herron-white.html
Or this white ute: http://forums.justcommodores.com.au...v-redline-ute-heron-white-10.html#post2437261

Been quite a while since I've had time to get on here..
Had a think about doing the roof but ended up deciding not too. My mate has his wagon roof done and don't want it to be too similar.

No updates with the car lately, changed jobs and just needed to settle in. Will look at getting coilovers soon and also brembo kit.
