Reading in wheels (not the most reliable information) but it looks like HSV may be bringing in a 414kw and 747nm ls9 engine in 2013, in a 1929kg CTS-V coupe it can do 4.2 sec to 100km/h and 12.5 sec 400m, in the corvette ZR1 a 475kw version of the engine.
Last paragraph: Performance will be, erm, strong. The 1929kg CTS-V coupe thunders to 100km/h in around 4.2 seconds and nails the standing 400m in 12.5 seconds - using an automatic box. Top speed is limited to 280km/h in the auto to preserve the tranny, but in the manual will storm to an autobahn-melting 310km/h. If HSV takes up the challenge, Claytons commodore should undercut the caddy by up to 100kg, so 0-100km/h in 4 seconds flat and a 400m sprint in the low 12s are well within reach. Let the battle of the blowers begin!! Last edited by 99AUXR; 21-11-2010 at 10:57 AM. |
