DI - Alloytec as per cts cadiliac will not be to far away

few specs from wikipedia

The 3.6 L (3564 cc) LLT is a direct injected version of the LY7. It was first unveiled in May 2006, and was claimed to have 15% greater power, 8% greater torque, and 3% better fuel economy than it's port-injected counterpart. It has a compression ratio of 11.4:1, and has been certified by the SAE to produce 302 hp (225 kW) at 6300 rpm and 272 lb·ft (369 N·m) of torque at 5200 rpm on regular unleaded (87 octane) gasoline.


cited here:GM High Feature engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



a v12 alloytec sounds pretty darn good - 7.2L 445kw/732nm alloytec = yumm



also note that 225kw/369nm is rated on 87 octane fuel, i wounder what they could get with 98 and a fraction more compression:whistling

V2 series 3 Monaro & VF V8 Calais V Wagon
Gear display on the auto to illuminate brighter for the selected gear eg. 'D'. (I realise it displays on the dash, but it would also be nice for the gear selected to glow at night at the gear shifter). Did you guys know that the car starts by flicking the ignition on ie. you don't have to hold it to start! (I only just found out about this).

Just shoe horn whats already there into the Torana concept body with some bolt on wheel arches and an SLR6000 decal will do me. I think I can haggle for full size spare again.

I would like to see the V series with the same stuff across the whole range. Im only talking here Calais V vs SS V for crying out loud the electric seats with driver memory would be a bonus on the SS V considering it is 2008 coming up to 2009 hell the monaro got the front power seats and it was two doors short off the SS, also maybe some finer points like courtesy lamps and door lamps

Ok 5,7,10 I agree with it.

adding onto list..

14. Friggin full size spare as STANDARD

15. Projector headlights on all models (yep I'm aiming high)

16. LSD standard instead as an option with something else.

17. 5 speed auto with the base alloytec


With point 16, I agree like come holden make LSD standard on all models and not just with the sport suspension option only
