HSV - Epica. Being serious, everyone seems to think GTS-R

I dont think a 7 litre 380kw car will have much trouble taking the glory from another stripe's package.

LOL. Exactly what I was thinking :->

The only Cobra ever deserving of glory was the AC model more than 40 years ago...

will this be another marketing stunt like the 427 monaro or will they actually offer this one to market??

Watch the media rain praise all over it and then in the same article call FPV irresponsible for releasing a car with 302kw's!

You are all so wrong.

On this date they will launch the new hybrid HSV.

The boys on the LS1 forums are talking about a 20th Anniversary Clubsport.
From what the car features looks like HSV is taking FPV's path in putting together a underwhelming package.

HSV have always had pretty average anniversary models

I dont think a ve maloo ute is going to be the biggest thing for 20 years. I am tipping the new ute & wagon plus a gtsr of sorts. One reply on the holden forum suggested 6.3L for maloo & clubby & 7.0L for gts & senator. Should be interesting : I think the clubby mentioned above is a special sticker version like the cobra that ford is doing. Its just a teaser for the ford boys.

Well my butt is fine so far, and the VE ute -well inside it's not as big as it has been made out to look. Still feels a lot smaller in the cabin compared to my AU.

Otherwise its a nice looking car, front end obviously being exactly the same as the sedan, rear end looks good but sits way too high - the one I was in was an SS ute in that new bright green colour and it is BRIGHT.
