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!!

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

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.

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...

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

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.

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!

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!

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
