Imagine if we had road-going versions of these, and an LS, or LT-powered RWD Cruize? I'm sure we'd all get over the loss of Falcon and Commodore quite easily. I've been secretly hoping they woukd do something similar.
Who would need a C63? |

that thing hauls. Not bad for a standard crate motor. It would be a pretty good little economical series to run if they built a few of them. What trans and rear axles are they runnning?

These are 500 hp not 650. I was there and they are super quick. If Supercars went this way I would be happy. Very good bit of kit. Pretty freekin orsm actually. They are still sorting them. Slightly twitchy in the rear. Looked.fast as with Seton on board
