Power is just unbelievable.awesome power from idle to 6600rpm.its like its got a turbo or supercharger the way this thing goes.ive got a xr8 tuned with exhaust and some goodies and i tell ya this gts will have it for breakfeast.the wheels are just **** hot and the suspension is just amazing.this car is just in a league of its own.

Mate nice buy, You've done well, Cam, Tune, Full exhaust easy low 11's.

That would of been the choice if it we're out when the BA's we're out. ah well.

See what Ford bring to the table in the new year..

ive got a ba xr8 and at that time the ba's were better than the vy's and like you said we will just have to wait and see what the blue oval brings and lets hope its a weapon.

You must've gotten the manual then because the auto sucks big time. The power and handling of the new HSVs sure make it a formiddable package. You'll be back come orion

!! Just like our WM Caprice will bugger off come orion too! I think you might have to change your username for the time being though!!

EviLkarL · 12-08-2007, 05:45 PM

OMG, you are banished to the Holden forum. off ya go, on ya bike lol

hehe nice man, not a bad bit of kit.

**Sorted** · 12-08-2007, 05:50 PM

So when are you going to lower it?

Are you from South East Suburbs I am sure I have seen that number plate on a HSV in the last 48 hours

tankclare · 12-08-2007, 05:48 PM

Very Nice

duaned · 12-08-2007, 05:48 PM

Well done mate! It's no secret the red lion has the better package overall, and in conclusion I'm also treading into a Holden dealership shortly to consider replacing the Ford for a VE.

Mate unless your considering buying an HSV I wouldn't bother looking at the VE's. The lower models and even our Caprice really aren't all what they are made out to be.

Seriously!!! Which model do you think is better than a BF??

SHIFTN · 12-08-2007, 05:52 PM

ewwww get out of here haha only joking

nice....wat'd it set ya back?

FPV8U · 12-08-2007, 06:06 PM

Not bad BLOHSV, im not a fan of the VE HSV rear end but the front looks pretty tuff and with the LS2 you have a good basis for future mods.

Time for a new Username & Avatar i think...

EDXRSW · 12-08-2007, 06:30 PM

good choice i say!!

**Falcon Coupe** · 12-08-2007, 06:34 PM

Very nice !
She will fill the gap well until Orion GT stamps it's authority on the market.

PHATXR8 · 12-08-2007, 06:57 PM

I hope you have, or are getting, a wardrobe full of HRT clothing so you can wear it down to the mall with all of the other Holden bogans!!!!

Interceptor · 12-08-2007, 07:00 PM

traitor!

GS608 · 12-08-2007, 07:06 PM

ooohh you suck! lol

nice ride though, for some reason the new HSV's look far more filled out, if you know what i mean, where as the BF FPV's and such look kinda scrawny compared to these and the Orion FPV's

uranium_death · 12-08-2007, 07:10 PM

I think the rear of the HSVs is actually ok. Much nicer than the Commodore-Calais rear.

Nice pick up. Hope you enjoy it.

I hope that FPV create a car worthy of making you and others want to jump back/over to Ford.

ReVd_uP · 12-08-2007, 07:13 PM

I thought thats what the F6 did

XR8-260 · 12-08-2007, 07:15 PM

Good buy mate. The LS2 engine is simply awesome.

Walt Kowalski · 12-08-2007, 07:19 PM

I reckon the VE has gotta be one of the best looking 4 door sedans in the world. The HSV GTS is even better. One great piece of kit. t was certainly on my hit list when I eventually bought the 330Ci convertible a couple of months ago. I hope Ford doesn't make the Orion look too fat. I love my XR6T ute too!

V3RSAC3 · 12-08-2007, 07:25 PM

haha ... that is sh!t hot ... :F ...

haha what do u do for an occupation, if u don't mind me asking?

I do not know about BLOHSV but I am unemployed capitalist. (self funded retiree) AND I LOVE MY XR6T UTE

Redrum · 12-08-2007, 11:33 PM

Looks alright for a Holden. The VE is growing on me. There is a Black one getting around my way minus rear spoiler and is lowered, looks the goods!

sleekism · 12-08-2007, 07:27 PM

You should give us a regular update on how it goes:

I have heard the MRC has had a few problems and put it on the dyno to see what it puts out.

I'd imagine FPV is having a bit of trouble at the moment moving stock (except GT40).

Just hope you dont reget it when Orion comes out or when series 2 VE comes out with 325kw 6.3L LS3
