If Ford release this "375kw GTHO" and it thumps the "414kw nuclear reactor" what will HSV do then?

The very thing FPV was trying to avoid, a horsepower war.
Now HSV will have to have that 12 litre 1500 hp engine..... Jerks won't be happy until the government steps in and bans the lot. |

People , this has appeared in Holden Monthly , treat it with the contempt it deserves . Ford could put a car on Mars , cure world hunger , find a cure for cancer and end all wars and holden Monthly would still put on their cover how Holden have revised the ashtray hinge in the latest Commode .

Be honest people, who out there wouldnt want a modern 2 door coupe with a stonking v8 or turbo 6 for that matter.
I say bring it on Holden and then maybe Ford will do the same......FG coupe anyone.

It's the basic V8/Turbo V6 performance fan problem, most of those fans calling for the introduction of a V8 this or that have no intention of going out and buying a new one. Heck, the same people didn't even support the last XR8, that's why it disappeared. I'm not meaning to be negative here but there's a big difference in wanting to see products available as a fan/enthusiast and being actually willing to buy them. |

LS9 or LSX? If its the LS9 it would be way to expensive, and would cost just as much as a W427 because of its dry sump lubrication system.
Rumours of HSV using the LS9/LSX have been circulating for the past 2 years. |

If HSV went down this route, it would be with the LSA, not the LS9.
My money however is HSV persevering with the LS3 until GenV. I'd say Holden/HSV would already have their hands on GenV prototypes and are starting to tinker. |

im unsure with the ls3. i think it does have a bit more room to move. but hsv has been working on other things i think they kinda got a bit cocky cause theve had it so good for so long. but the roots of these cars has always been about perfomance not bloody gadgits. i wouldent mind a cammed ls3 from hsv tho.. |

LS3 is done, its at the ceiling. HSV wont get a new engine till 2012, and i'm told it will be the 5.3L Gen V, not sure if GM will offer a blower version though, so things may not improve much for HSV.

adding it to a sedan and using similar style on the boot would grab American buyers attention... |

the L99 is a 300kw 6.2L VVT AFM for the SS commodore.
the LSA 6.2L 414kw uses a smaller blower (4 lobe roots) than LS9 (lysom screw)
