That being said, the 1999 HSV VT GTS R8, with the Calloway corvette 5.7 not the 5.0 stroked to 5.7, any ford fan could agree was a masterpiece, in 1999 was the worlds most powerful 4 door saloon and generated 300kws, it was/is a magic car. But like I said both companies make their good and shit cars, I'm just glad to see Aussie engineering showing what it can do to the rest of the world. FPV, HSV.... Keep making us proud!
@Blandy086 Yeah mate I used to be a HSV fan too, but I bet you any money my stock XR6 Turbo will flog the fuck out of a VX GTS. The only thing Holden had going for it was its home built 5 litre, they should have developed that instead of going with the yank tank motor. That's why I'm a Ford fan now.
@trevorhendy123 understood, i am a Ford and Holden fan, as i feel both companies have made their greats and shit cars, i like more fords than holdens, being honest, i LOVE the new GT's with th 5.0lt supercharged "coyote" V8 and hate the VE series altogether no matter what series, the VT GTS was my LAST favorite holden, that being said, i hated the AU falcon also. i have just bought a Ford FG MKII XR6 ute, and i tell u.... its brilliant compared to the SV6
I'm not a ford or Holden fan, both have good and shit cars, however I think u would be mad to pay $90,000+ for ur top of the range, 317kw, HSV (PBR) Brakes, and basic options pack when u could have a $83,900 top of the range fully optioned FPV with 335kw, Brembo 6pot front 4 pot rear brakes.... Cheaper and better... It is purely because Australia is a Holden nation that HSV can produce something not as good yet ask too much, Holden fans should stop buying HSV so the price will come down and u w
Hmmmm, as for HSV only need 20 more kw? No, kws doesn't mean shit in applied power to the wheels, that is torque, and this car doesn't need to build to 5400rpm like HSV do to get peak torque, peak torque is available at 2200 rpm, so basically as soon as u plant the foot ur at full power whereas HSV u get the build to it, this car hands down has the better performance, GMH really do need to look at a better designed engine, not bigger just better, quad cam does have it's pros, even without super
I really so like this. I wish we got the Falcon in the UK. Or just get a UK FPV division. That would rule. Some nice hardcore Fords in the UK with Prodrive behind them would be amazing!
I dont agree about the manual box... it is leaps and bounds better than the T56 in the BA/BF. The TR6060 I feel is precise and with the short throw between gears is great for "spirited" driving.
The only down side to the car is that the tyres dont last long enough. I have to get new tyres for my GS very soon!
What a tremendous car. Shame we don't get it on our shores. That Miami V8 can really howl. I'm not going to insinuate for a second that it is as good or better than an E39 M5, but it's damn close, and that's damn good praise. I'd have such a hard time deciding between the Holden HSV and this...oh and don't knock the TR6060, agricultural as it is, it's one of the most reliable and sturdy gearboxes out there, and better than the T56 in the Commodore.
A great car good one Ford great work on the engine and body work.. As holden will always get engines from over seas and just sit the donkies under the bonnet and do nothing to them..
this engine is absolutely amazing, I am a jap man personally but I would own anything with one of these motors in it if I had the dosh. Absolutely brilliant piece of engineering.
Absolutely smokes the LSx motors, sounds better and is a whole 1L less in capacity! Amazing!
@BlowdownBob I'm saying that, the new 335kw boss engine is 5 litre, SUPERCHARGED. 335kw coming from a 5.0L v8 supercharged.
The HSV VE GTS gets 325kw from a 6.2L v8 NATURALLY ASPIRATED. you pop a supercharger on this like the walkinshaw VE GTS and it will shoot up to around 420+kw from what i remember. regardless of displacement, if the holden was 5.0L supercharged, it will still have more than 335kw. lol
If only america would only take notice at how wonderful australian muscle and american performance worked so well together... but no we have to act like the world police and govern everything we export and especially import into this country ~_~
@vegemteB0YZ Fuck what rock have you been hiding under , both HSV and FPV new vehicles cant even compete with my R34 GTR which is 11 years old ! Let alone an R35 GTR , Type in ; 2012 GTR Top Gear !
@vegemteB0YZ Champ I wouldn't really talk like that about Nissan. Especially given that they fucking murdered you at Bathurst and bitches like you winged and moaned till they were banned.
I've always been a Holden/HSV fan but I tell you what.. FPV are really getting pretty lethal now. This one seems to be no exception. The only thing is the stripes down the side look horrible and ugly, it might have worked back in the 70's but it just looks ricey now.
Is it me or is that guy like 4 ft tall? Seems his seat is pushed up as far as it goes lol.
I used to be a bit of a holden boy ....till i owned one. I ride bikes now days but i gotta say, if i had my choice of cars, this one would be right up there. Even next to some of the lower end super cars.
@wadeaustin210 is this a 6.7L? no so the supercharger makes up for it as ford dont need to go bigger engine they are getting the most out of there 5L and i find it funny that holden now got a 7L putting out 375kw? sound a bit sad 2L more and only putting out 40 more kw's so i think imo that ford has the best engine out of holden and ford
Is a very powerfull and fast car no doubt. but i would love ford to develop a 4WD typhoon sedan. 400-600 kilowatts now that would be awsome! Or make this car available in 4wd and rwd with 400-600 killowatts.
@shruz23 WRONG!!! I've seen a video of a proffessional tuning shop that specifically stated these engines are only good for up to 400KW before they pop unless you strengthened the internals!
Numbnuts, these things have been coming out of the factory with around 370kw stock, you think 400kw is going to pop them? For longevity there is an industry standard 50% margin for capacity (it has to last 100,000klm), so based on that alone these things would start to break things at 500kw. Argue all you want, but you holden fanbois would be going nuts of this was yours and not fords.
@blampa I'm not a Holden fanboi schiffer-brains! What would be the point in tuning one of these to 500-600kw if it's gonna shake itself to bits in no time flat? 400kw is easily acheivable and might actually last for longer than a few seconds! I'm just sick of the ignorance of people posting comments here it makes True Ford fans look like dickheads!
@Fridgemusa BTW, I work in engineering and milling and know a little of what I'm talking about. If anything were to pop it would be head bolts which are easily replaced with studs. The bottom end on these things are seriously heavy duty and completely sorted. Ever revved your LS out to 7 grand and been able to tell the tale?
@blampa I've never revved an LS out to 7 grand because I have never owned one as I am a Ford man! All I'm trying to say is that some of the power figures people are posting on here are pretty over-zealous for stock internals if you want your GT-P to last at all!
@Fridgemusa Fair call. It's the old saying, "You play, you pay". Obviously as the power increases the longevity decreases. That said, these motors have a lot more potential than the older designed LS motors which still have too little skirt material on the pistons.
GO GM "HOLDEN" DIVISION!!! Try get another 10kw out of your 1950s cast iron boat anchor engine and pray the pushrods hold out. Bugger it, just stroke it to 610 cubes, who needs technology anyway. Maybe Obama can give GM another welfare handout for some R+D? Here's a clue; it's called aluminium. Coyote is the best motor since 'ol Henry invented the single block V8 in 1930 that nearly any dude could afford. This is a world class AUSSIE BUILT car, not some victim of GMH hand me downs. Awesome rig!
@kws30777 -- Yeah, as a Ford man through and through it has to be said, Ford could REALLY learn a thing or two from Holden... the interior of the VE GTS is awesome!
@kws30777 from what i remember ford have been top dog since the f6 was realised but we know your a bit slow over there in korea this engine is just another shot through the bow of your sinking ship, ford invest in the future and improve what needs improving hence multi valve tecnology ,oil cooling to piston and all alloy 5ltr which is brand new in design instead of increasing stroke on a 40yr old engine design, Holden are at the edge of where they can go, this engine is restricted electronicaly
i could have written some anti ford f'wit remark here but I didn't. Why do you feel the need to reply with all that crap? Cos I am pro holden? I have a vz maloo making 293rwkw and my best mate has a BA super pursuit making similar power and you know what? He hates his ute and wants to get a maloo cos my old "boat anchor motor" sits a shit load lower and weighs a crap load less and has IRS. clearly you are just an armchair driver cos there is pro's to both makes throughout all years.
@kws30777 - Wiser words I've never heard... I'm a Ford man but can still appreciate a good Holden... a mte of mine has a GTS 307 that is absolutely stunning!
@kws30777 very good say mate and you're right, HSV will be back bigger and stronger. GM has alot of supercharger for HSV to choose from. I'm a Holden man too but you've got to love their ZF 6 spd gearbox...that thing is Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet. The downsides are those old headlamps. HSV has alot more toys to play with.
ford U.S.A will not let ford AUS sell this car anywhere else in the world because it is scared it will effect sales of it's American made cars.....meaning American jobs are lost.......i call it cutting off your nose to save your face. pull your head out of your ass ford U.S.A even your own country men want this car sold there...

Here's a clue; it's called aluminium. Coyote is the nicest motor since 'ol Henry invented the single block V8 in 1930 that anyone could afford and took til 1955 for GM to build one. And still build.
the motor is not actually called coyote, its called the miami , it starts life as a coyote,it shares some of the same internals but the miami part is the aussie engineering.... see ford Australia don't just get it straight out of crate and then put it in a car, oops sorry holden fans..........
@potaka79 "Ford australia"? Its Prodrive, a fucking British company that do all the work at FPV! Come to think of it, Tom walkinshaw was also British, but the point is the same. Your making Stupid Arguments about cars that can barely be considered Australlian.
@Aliasify "fpv" is part owned buy prodrive and Ford Australia ( not prodrive owning ford)........the guys doing the engineering are Australian not British, so lets stop the stupid arguments.
im a holden man ive been supporting them since i was born but i also LOVE alot of ford cars especially this one ill probably buy it in 10 years when its forgotten about and then show it off aha
@McobraR dude why would they put 335kws on the side of their car when forumns say its at the engine and how come i just watched a dyno of the engine and it actually put out 307kw?????
@brazzr i just watched a video where it made 473 hp which is 355 kw (stock), the title is: Street Fords magazine: FPV BOSS 335 GT dyno video 1. look it up, its pretty well known now that ford has underrated the power levels on this car like it did with the GTHO back in the 70s
@fordmuscle73 well i just watched the number 2 video and the guy comment thhat they put it on another dyno and they got 328kw. so if u ask me dynos are retarted, cos on the dyno of the egine power, it had 307kw
@brazzr Sorry for late reply, didnt see this earlier. Did you read my post earlier? People at Australian FordForums are getting closer to 335kws. Even if you watched a clip with 307kws at the wheels, if you do the math, thats only an 8% drivetrain loss. Commodores and Falcons lose about 15-20% from engine to wheel. So if a falcon is pushing about 307rwkw's that would equate to about 360-380kws at the engine anyway, i.e. way more than 335kws at the engine.
Im not an australian, so i can like both FPV and GT-P, and not make stupid comments and look at the facts. Fact is a supercharged FPV V8 which produces 335kw and 570nm of tourque, which is ok, but the ls3 may be a "push rod peice of shit" but it produces 317kw and 550nm before its even supercharged. The GTp isnt going to spank anything
@Aliasify Just to let you know, people are getting 320RWKW's at the dyno, and the highest I've heard someone get was 333RWKW's (fordforums australia)..... now if you know your calculations, Commodores/Falcons tend to lose 15-20% of power from the engine to the rear wheels.... that means the new FPV V8 engines are making anywhere from 370kws to 400kws... alot more than what HSV is currently offerring for the same price.
@Aliasify there maybe only a 20 kws and 20nms of tourqe difference but thats there peak outputs the big difference is that a ls3 hits its peak tourqe only for a couple of hundred rpm so it builds up then dies off the big difference is the ford gt makes peak tourqe at 2200rpm and holds peak tourqe till red line,it also been detuned so power increases of future models can be done through electronics while they spend development money on handling and creature comforts,
I brought an FPV F6 last year.. Love it !! the best time I got out of it with the G-Tech 0-100 was 4.45secs and I ran 12.6 1/4 mile at WSID its completely stock and an awesome car !! mate of mine has a W427 and the best time he could get was 4.78secs 0-100, I've driven a new GT-P and its an awesome awesome car, love the W427, but its got nothing on the new GT
I'm sad they haven't put halogen lights in the car yet.. I mean, the one thing that makes the European performance cars look unique on a night-lit highway is those bright white lights coming from it.. It's an easy replacement, and there's aftermarket manufactures for them now; but for $80k, I wish they put them in :(
Other then that, I'm seriously thinking of trading in my FG XR6 Turbo for one of these - it sounds AMAZING.. that supercharge WHINE!!! *drools*
Great car. I think if anyone had 80k to spend and wanted an fpv or hsv, you'd be silly to choose the hsv. This car offers so much more bang for buck... But i really do like holdens touch screen features... Why cant fpv and hsv make a supercar together and call it the AUGT super car edition, blending the fpv engine with the hsv tech?!!! ( but steer clear of the hsv plastic fantastic look lol).
@Tribunilus Actually until recently Fords ICC has been much than Holdens Tech offering. And with the FG2 coming next year it wouldn't surprise me if they surpass it again.
thats some hairy driving there mate good handling of though
im an ols school kind of person if you buy something like this forget auto dont even think auto you prove it in the video love to here the sound of that exhaust
dam dude i wanna drop the motor into my BF F6 it would fly love the vid
this is already giving the holden/hsv boys something to fucking cry about. grow up already for fuck sake. most of your beloved holden boys are already converting to Xr6ts/F6's or will be to this 335 GT soon enough. jesus christ. Ford prevails again. and its only a 5.0L O_O imagine if ford made a 6.0L with a harrop slapped on it. absolutely nuts.
something to cry about? Funny how FPV needed a supercharger to finally match the HSV's. Put a supercharger on a factory HSV now then see whos laughing..
Special edition mustang in USA uses the same engine and it makes 330kw, from a 5.0L not 6.2L like in the HSVs.
Dont just look at peak power figures, the main story is the torque and in gear performance.... it blows the HSVs into the weeds.... this is real world performance.. regardless what peak power figures say
sure.. not saying these new GTs aren't awesome, because they are (coming from a Holden man), they've got loads of power on tap but the HSVs still handle better, and the HSV is N/A and can just keep up with the new FPVs, so im saying if HSV now deicided to release a supercharged GTS, FPV will be behind again..
currently it's supercharged V8 vs. N/A V8, and just because the HSV is a 6.2L as opposed to 5.0L, cubic inches aren't everything.
@BlackSSV6L whats that mate? having a winge already? haha. all you holden boys are all the same. if ford had the same displacement "6.2L" but it being a quad cam if they had of kept the Boss motor it would of mauled the holden alive. because its not an inferior push rod piece of garbage that'll blow a piston by its next service it could easily handle the supercharger. dont comment on something you dislike mate. and keep your opinion to yourself.
@BlackSSV6L for the record, the states we have the same motor with a higher compression of 11:1, that pushes out nearly identical number, and it still blows by all the GMs around here.. including your precious HSV's.
Oh... Knew that would happen... Commodore Drivers now saying the W427 will beat this beast... 5.0L vs 7.0? Hardly the same... GT-P vs GTS is the Comparison and the GT-P Wins... oh... i have an idea When FPV make the 2011 GTHO then it can compare to your fat ugly W427 :)
@XAXBFan Yep, Just Google it should come up. expected to have 536HP... 400Kw/650Nm.. Thats what Ford say Anyway.. Hope its true because it would be a BEAST.
@V8SupercarMadness I find it funny, good on ya! you guys have had the first chance since HSV was made to be on the winning team! Gratz! but it wont last, As far as i know the GTS isn't Supercharged, i Believe the ford is, If the GTS can almost keep up without one imagine with one................
Just imagining how many holden fans are going to flood this video with 'I think it sounds shit' comments. If you honestly think this, you are retarded.
@Danielhsv0 Go back to your 6.3L Pushrod piece of shit loser, If you dont like it piss off and dont watch the video. Jealous much this can take on your 155K W427 and spank it side ways
I'm going to uni to get a decent engineering degree so that I can earn a truckload of cash in income so I can buy one of these as my ride!!

Quick question.... Is the holden GTS supercharged stock? im pretty sure its not, supercharge the GTS then compare the two....
wadeaustin210 10 months ago
@wadeaustin210
but then how much will the GTS cost. Looking at 100k already with that. HSV need to go back to the drawing board.
DragonRising88 10 months ago
@wadeaustin210 is this a 6.7L? no so the supercharger makes up for it as ford dont need to go bigger engine they are getting the most out of there 5L and i find it funny that holden now got a 7L putting out 375kw? sound a bit sad 2L more and only putting out 40 more kw's so i think imo that ford has the best engine out of holden and ford

@shruz23 WRONG!!! I've seen a video of a proffessional tuning shop that specifically stated these engines are only good for up to 400KW before they pop unless you strengthened the internals!
Fridgemusa 10 months ago
@Fridgemusa You've seen a video?
Numbnuts, these things have been coming out of the factory with around 370kw stock, you think 400kw is going to pop them? For longevity there is an industry standard 50% margin for capacity (it has to last 100,000klm), so based on that alone these things would start to break things at 500kw. Argue all you want, but you holden fanbois would be going nuts of this was yours and not fords.
blampa 10 months ago
@blampa I'm not a Holden fanboi schiffer-brains! What would be the point in tuning one of these to 500-600kw if it's gonna shake itself to bits in no time flat? 400kw is easily acheivable and might actually last for longer than a few seconds! I'm just sick of the ignorance of people posting comments here it makes True Ford fans look like dickheads!
Fridgemusa 9 months ago
@Fridgemusa BTW, I work in engineering and milling and know a little of what I'm talking about. If anything were to pop it would be head bolts which are easily replaced with studs. The bottom end on these things are seriously heavy duty and completely sorted. Ever revved your LS out to 7 grand and been able to tell the tale?
blampa 10 months ago
@blampa I've never revved an LS out to 7 grand because I have never owned one as I am a Ford man! All I'm trying to say is that some of the power figures people are posting on here are pretty over-zealous for stock internals if you want your GT-P to last at all!
Fridgemusa 9 months ago
@Fridgemusa Fair call. It's the old saying, "You play, you pay". Obviously as the power increases the longevity decreases. That said, these motors have a lot more potential than the older designed LS motors which still have too little skirt material on the pistons.

brazzr 1 year ago
@brazzr Sorry for late reply, didnt see this earlier. Did you read my post earlier? People at Australian FordForums are getting closer to 335kws. Even if you watched a clip with 307kws at the wheels, if you do the math, thats only an 8% drivetrain loss. Commodores and Falcons lose about 15-20% from engine to wheel. So if a falcon is pushing about 307rwkw's that would equate to about 360-380kws at the engine anyway, i.e. way more than 335kws at the engine.

chrisfi3d 1 year ago
Im not an australian, so i can like both FPV and GT-P, and not make stupid comments and look at the facts. Fact is a supercharged FPV V8 which produces 335kw and 570nm of tourque, which is ok, but the ls3 may be a "push rod peice of shit" but it produces 317kw and 550nm before its even supercharged. The GTp isnt going to spank anything
Aliasify 1 year ago
@Aliasify Just to let you know, people are getting 320RWKW's at the dyno, and the highest I've heard someone get was 333RWKW's (fordforums australia)..... now if you know your calculations, Commodores/Falcons tend to lose 15-20% of power from the engine to the rear wheels.... that means the new FPV V8 engines are making anywhere from 370kws to 400kws... alot more than what HSV is currently offerring for the same price.
McobraR 1 year ago
@Aliasify there maybe only a 20 kws and 20nms of tourqe difference but thats there peak outputs the big difference is that a ls3 hits its peak tourqe only for a couple of hundred rpm so it builds up then dies off the big difference is the ford gt makes peak tourqe at 2200rpm and holds peak tourqe till red line,it also been detuned so power increases of future models can be done through electronics while they spend development money on handling and creature comforts,

@haloaum
sure.. not saying these new GTs aren't awesome, because they are (coming from a Holden man), they've got loads of power on tap but the HSVs still handle better, and the HSV is N/A and can just keep up with the new FPVs, so im saying if HSV now deicided to release a supercharged GTS, FPV will be behind again..
currently it's supercharged V8 vs. N/A V8, and just because the HSV is a 6.2L as opposed to 5.0L, cubic inches aren't everything.

@BlackSSV6L whats that mate? having a winge already? haha. all you holden boys are all the same. if ford had the same displacement "6.2L" but it being a quad cam if they had of kept the Boss motor it would of mauled the holden alive. because its not an inferior push rod piece of garbage that'll blow a piston by its next service it could easily handle the supercharger. dont comment on something you dislike mate. and keep your opinion to yourself.

@BlackSSV6L for the record, the states we have the same motor with a higher compression of 11:1, that pushes out nearly identical number, and it still blows by all the GMs around here.. including your precious HSV's.
