Does anybody else here absolutely drool over the HSV W427. I heard recently that they decreased the amount they are making of this model from 427 to 200. 7.0L V8 - It has the SL7 engine (corvette). The apparent price is between $140,000-$170,000....anybody getting one? haha. It looks so bad ass

Nope looks too similar to the clubsports and its over priced for what is essentially a driveline upgrade. Id just buy a regular clubby and spend a little more on mods and beat this

Buying a car like this isn't really buying the car as such. It's buying the name that comes with it. Like buying a BMW or Merc. They aren't super great nor worth their price but have a good name.

I reckon the W427 looks the goods though:thumbsup:

What would you define as super great then? Not a Holden I hope.

Some of the higher bmw's are good but I was mainly referring to the standard 3 series types. I know, not in the same league blah blah but this car for example:
Brand New BMW 320i Cars In Stock - carsales.com.au
is just a pretty basic bmw yet still costs close to $60k.

You can get cars made from other manufacturers that have close to or just as many features as the bmw for a lower price.

Why would you spend so much money on this dressed up VE exec when you can buy the state of the art R35 GTR that slaughters it in every possible aspect for the same price?

Because Skyline's aren't HSV's.
