I've read about that somewhere before, maybe on here I can't remember! Seems like a wicked car though, would love to get behind the wheel of one to see what its like. Though, it makes me wonder why Holden didn't go for the same N/A 6 cylinder Vauxhal used instead of the buick V6. A twin turbo 6 that produces 377bhp (someone please do the conversion to kw, i can't remember how to do it) compared to a supercharged buick 6 that produces 170kw sounds far more appealing.

just did the conversion it equals 281.13kw.........beast

Depends on how you do the conversion from BHP to KW. Either the way ford measure kilowatts using the international scale which is the above 280ish or using the metric conversion that is around 277Kw mark..either way a damn sight more than a measly 170!

Here's one that Brocky pushed for but never got the green light thanx to the govt at the time..

True commo coupe!

That thing looks like a cross between the old VK Commodore crossed with a Celica. Still, its not too bad!

That doesnt look to bad actually, and it has the power to match.
