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 .

I can say all this honestly, because i drive a Falcon station wagon, and am not totally brand loyal obsessed like some in this forum. I like holdens, and fords, but chose ford for the superior 6 cyl engine and drive train integration. but in the muscle car terms, i can see Ford has been behind for about 10 years, and even with the 'coyote' will have trouble regaining ground. |

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.

Recent Dyno tests have shown the 335 Kw GT is actually making that power or more at the rear wheels, not at the flywheel and that's without any intercooler fitted yet. Coyote is at the start of its development phase while the LS engine will retire in 2012/3. The last thing I want to see is a power war at the showroom floor, it's really bad news for enthusiasts as it attracts government attention with calls for restricting power to follow... Better to have a "basic" blown engine with understated HP/torque like FPV have done than risk the media backlash of escalating power wars and ensuing bans by governments If HSV uses the Z28 engine, I'd expect it will be exclusive, limited run and of course expensive. |

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.

Yay holden 475kw yes, amazing, readin in magazine and the 480kw walkinshaw guess how many RWKW. . . . . 368rwkw, mmmm 30 more than a falcon, NZ$30000 for 30more rwkw over a GT? and the walkinshaw did an astonishing 12.58 1/4 mile. and this is holdens fastest aftermarket. I can see the coyote is threatend. HSV having nicer design? Yes. . . Ill just go to supercheap auto to by some day time driving for the new GTS. the interior is yuk, one thing in the E3 is the ICC thats a bonus and also MRC. yes they coyote might struggle for the first bit givin the 10 years in HSV favour, but a few HSV mates ive talked to would seriously consider walking into an FPV dealership. |

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)
