SSV vs E63 AMG ..

haha.. great minds

hahahaha, ill give ya that one!

I'd be guessing 5.2l no reason other then GM HAS TO be bigger then Ford lol. The coyote is DI capable also. But will be a few years old by the time GenV comes along

GM will probably just go a DI version of the L98 like they did with the Alloytec.

i have to say....
i think the only reason holdens are using the crate motors are mainly down to price...
however..
it would be awsome to have a new tech v8 enginer..with over head cams...DI...and variable valve timin...
for a slightly higher price..OR....make it exclusive for the HSV range

I mean SS have similar engines to the HSV in terms of technology....
theres not much difference in em except for displacement...and maybe bigger/stringer/lighter parts here and there.

If holden brought out a HSV range with a difference enginer/tech...i would buyy one rather than the SSV/SS
no point in buying a HSV just to have difference clothes and shoes when u really want a difference heart.

holden...MAKE YOUR HSV SPECIAL !!!

I'm still holding my breath for a turbo 6 to compete directly with the other mob.

Doesnt have to be a v8 killer, just a small turbo 6... so it' still economical most of the time, but got some balls when you need it.

yeah my g/f dad has a CL55 AMG, its just phenominal when he puts his foot down, whats even better is when he hits the brakes.... its like having your face ripped off, on the upside is he wants to use my ute for a day so ive offered him a swap for the day, series II sv6 for a CL55 AMG, I'd call that fair....although I think I'm more likely to end up with the Lexus in return, he doesnt even let his wife drive it......and as much as I love my Holden, I have to say that I dont think Holden will ever be quite on par with the Mercs, so much so, if you want to know what cars will be like and have fitted as standard in 5-10 years time.... look at todays top range Mercs

You'll be pleasently surprised soon enough. TT 3.0 DI for Holden and TT 3.6l DI for HSV. From what a few people over on ls1 reckon.

Holden have been toying with the idea of a TT Alloytec for about 10yrs. Anyone remember the Torana concept?

 

[kuzman89]

GenV is coming along, new engine designs and concepts are on the cards, I think theres a very good chance, after this years TT3.6l DI in a Camaro, looks promising.

Yea that would have been awesome......
