why did they copy the camaro in the sense of where to put the gauges. infront of the shifter is so out of the way. above the display screen like they've been doing since VY would have been better.

best of the HSV's from what ive seen so far.
this should be the base clubby then beefier GTS
the spoiler on the boot is so much nicer than the others its not funny.
and the maloo R8 should be beefy like the GTS, not like the clubbies.
still, lets see how they look once they get series 2/3 etc.

My guess would be a cost saving measure by GM

It is the only way to make a Holden and ford fast...they can't do corners too well so they add butt loads of power to get to them fast :D

Seriously...looking at the VF HSV range this morning I was left with vomit in my mouth.

On the plus side, I may be able to pick up a cheap E3 soon :p

MY SSV handles bends and corners nicely, I can understand if your ford doesn't because they really are a POS.

A tune is verging on a waste of time, $1000 to pick up 18rwhp is hardly worth it.

Will be interesting to see what power it makes in the real work, Holden always seem to over quote figures. Looking at the mod list it seems it has quite a bit done engine wise compared to say the Ford Coyote setup, which means you won't see the same gains they get.
