So..................

We were discussing a single LSA example, from a Cadillac CTS-V, bought in the U.S.A., driven for a 1000 miles over there, shipped over here, thenconverted to RHD, then plonked on a rolling dyno............ And the Ford fan boi's(and troll) are complaining about low power output?

They might have bought a lemon................

If GM states 430kw at the crank( and due to US liability laws and advertisement standards), you can be sure that a LSA will put out at least that amount on an engine dyno!

Yep. It's got their shield embossed in the middle of the wrap on the bonnet. I don't know why but each and every one of their products really turns me off. I'm not sure if it's the over-branding or what but well that wrap over the bonnet is just terrible every why I look at it.

Reap ur right cruising & twisties, the thrill of the drive but when it comes to a pissing contest over power between models really no use on the street its only track and strip where it gets settled. I know what U mean comparing base models to performance ones, completely different driving experience. Not jealous at all, i have my fun with my olds cars (old worked fords) and will one day have a beast of my own, but there is only so much U can do on the street.

This model hsv just doesn't look aggressive enough compared to the standard.

VF interior looks pretty damn good. The VE interior was 7 years old but you're still comparing it to the FG interior but for some reason we can't compare the VF to the FG lol, make up your mind.


Guys, why are you trying to reason and use common sense and logic with kids who prefer Ford over Holden(to each their own), and choose to come on to a Commodore-dedicated forum and stir ****?
It's school holidays and all..bored kids.

Look closely at the grille , lights and bonnet. It looks like that car is trying to squeeze out a sh_it.

:spot on: Trying to squeeze out one of these...........
