I swear that's all I ever read, "the ford coyote this, the ford coyote that."

Is a Ford Coyote anything like a Wile E Coyote, because even Roadrunner could run rings around him.

get rid of that dog ugly rear ricer bumper bar and the car would look good

They are a similar engine setup, of course they will be compared.

Tunability. Thats what this engine will come down to. What if it doesn't respond well to exhausts? Or intakes? Or even boost upgrades?

What if Holden/Chev have already sponged all the power possible from it? Serious internal mods will always show a change, but will they make the 60rwkw+ from a tune like the other supercharged V8's floating around?

It means anybody wanting huge HP will look else where. On the other hand 400anything FWKW is a shitload of power for a factory car that has to be ADR'ed and warranted.

When is this power thing going to stop?

Who cares... Bring it on !

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

Every HP is priceless.... lol

I wouldn't say no to one. I think the back end is fugly though. Seems like HSV finally pulled their finger out on their flagship model. Complete new rear subframe for the GTS etc.

My thoughts exactly some one will find a way to get more

Haha wow. Miami V8 is a fantastic engine. The GTS is making the power it has quoted, 430 at the engine would equate to roughly 330-350rwkw yeh? But it seems the GT-F is totally above expectations!! GTS is still better package though. But you're paying for it, $15k dearer then the GTF.
