In this configuration, Arthur’s LS1 pushes 643hp (480kW) at the wheels which equates to more than 600kW at the flywheel. Oh, and that’s achieved with only a 50hp shot of gas
At SA AFD in March 2011 I did see a FG GT335 worked over by KPM Motorsport with 540rwkw...... Bet it would be cheaper too

Spending 220k on a VT Commodore is a massive fail, especially one that looks like a Fast and the Furious reject.

220k would buy a pretty awesome new car.

would be an awesome vt, if it was stock looking, be one mean sleeper.

pity the owner was willing to spend so much on it, but ended with it looking quite cheap, the ebay spec taillights and bob jane style rims detract a heap, the graphics are a love it or hate thing. (i dont love it)

but twin turbo 7.2 litre V8? thats pure win that is...
