Holden HSV W427: first drive and review by Paul Gover - Carsguide

[multiBassmansam]

id buy one of these any day if i had the money

[xiNsAnEAuSSi3x]

dont know why every one is having a cry over this car,

its not $150k i got my 2010 superchaged for $70,

handles awesome and not over weight...

pritty sure your just putting shit on it because ether

1. your a ford fan

2. your underage to drive one

3. your drive a shit box and cant afford one

4. your american

[sladey121]

@xiNsAnEAuSSi3x Well actually the 2009 HSV W427 is $150,000 from factory!

[xiNsAnEAuSSi3x]

@sladey121 got a 2010 $70 000 drive away.

suck on that

[sladey121]

@xiNsAnEAuSSi3x For one, the w427 wasn't manufactured in the 2010! And secondly it sounds like you have yourself either a clubsport or a GTS... So until I see video proof that you have a w427, then I will give in.

[xiNsAnEAuSSi3x]

@sladey121 i dont know it has the LED's at the front.. and it has the HSV inprinted into the dash

[sladey121]

@xiNsAnEAuSSi3x Yeah definately not a w427, most likely a latest model clubsport or GTS.... Still a VERY cool car though and pretty much a bargain at $70k!

[xiNsAnEAuSSi3x]

@sladey121 yeah my bad..

owners book just has "HSV ClubSport"

yeah its allrite for $70, its had about 15k of work done on it now with aftermarket supercharger,wheels,cold air intake,straight 3" exhaust, lowered, sound system

get parts cheap because i parants own a biz that is BOC gas and they sponser V8 supercars

[sladey121]

@xiNsAnEAuSSi3x Nice you should put a video up!

[addison1977]

Anyone who'd pay 150g for this hunk of shit has rocks in their head. I'm an aussie, but I don't give a fuck where it comes from, it's a tarted up commodore, it's not a supercar and never will be, it's a dunnydore on steroids for bogans with too much money, what a piece of shit

[project691]

I love how this W427 costs around $155,000 (AUS) and a Vauxhall Bathurst VRX8 sold in the UK costs around $60,000 (AUS). The Vauxhall is an Australian built HSV and it has a supercharged V8 - sounds like the steroid version of this one. Looks of the Vauxhall is also a tonne better. Check out the top gear vid of the Vauxhall...astonishing car.

[lilbellz87]

This car is totally unoriginal. It looks like an r8 and would handle like one too. Australian super car my ass...A supercar doesn't shit its self when it sees a corner. re design it. Low profile body, new suspension, two doors, and supercharge that 7L engine then maybe you can call it a supercar and justify the 150k price tag. Aussie pride all the way! but seriously, this thing isn't anything to be proud of.

[hemiisbest]

cut the music man lets hear the car

[pbsmick]

I'd rather buy an M3!

[TheGloryDays100]

Not worth it.. a Commodore is always a Commodore.. a Piece of Shit.. haha

How is it environmentally friendly and fuel economy is soo crap!

[TheGloryDays100]

Not worth it.. a Commodore is always a Commodore.. a Piece of Shit.. haha

How is it environmentally friendly and fuel economy is soo crap!

[TheGloryDays100]

Not worth it.. a Commodore is always a Commodore.. a Piece of Shit.. haha

[ssanator]

@TheGloryDays100

your just saying that because it's better then the falcon by far

[h0niels]

i have a 6.3l v8 so fuck the 7.0 heavy as . super slow car

[gangstertyler666]

@h0niels yea ok

[christo90210]

Wow .. looks like a Falcon from the back lol

[bumtownv2]

They Tax the crap out of the real sports cars so we can have a giant red metal brick with 500hp.

[208stroker1]

I though walkinshaw passed away...hows he gonna keep one..

[XtremelyAwesome1]

falcon fpv

[jasonfish07]

Its an understyled pair of granny knickers stuffed with a massive v8 dildo.

[IEnjoyEatingCorn]

Bogan trash.

[26dragon93]

If i had that much money to spend on a car i definatly wouldnt be buying one of those

[proutmandu78]

lambo reventon : 6.5 V12, 640 HP... holden's gay.

[malohroquii]

It's an overpriced blob on wheels. It looks like a bumbag as far as styling goes.

[BigfellaTM]

sick mate sick

[EthanEXAKUTION]

This pigeon 1888 is a tool doubt he's ever driven the car to make these claims,

and compared to equivalent prices for overseas cars its good value for such an exclusive car

[djangolad]

No fucking shit heap holden is worth anything over 30K

[aphroman24]

7.0l v8 and only 500hp? lmao

[MrNottsCounty]

Im so fucking sick of clicking browse and seeing this fucking video - put fucking jb baby or some shit not this crap for the love of god

[NewYorkHoliday]

nice

[rvdmjc1]

stait up holden crap

[Pigeon1888]

Piece of crap.

[yunderup]

7litre go no where!!!! A well tuned 4cil can out beat your ass!

[FlyingBrick900]

a huge thumbs down to the people hho go to put a chev badge in this 4 wheeled 7 ltr monster

[Bus20Seven]

Fucking Ugly. 7 Litres? Why would you wanna kill the world?

[SV500074]

austin martin,are you kidding me! fuck give me a holden anyday.

[detailplus]

i just dont need one

[firefist92]

I'd prefer a clubsport R8. Almost as powerful but cheaper

[LemoneyFishmas]

375 killer wasps!!!!!

[Bus20Seven]

@LemoneyFishmas lol

[fcukugimmeausername]

This car is embarrassing really. It's impressive to see one because they are so rare, but they are only so rare because they are overpriced. Want a better road/track car, buy a 370z/F6 for half the price and don't loose nearly as much on resale.

[Dogapilla79]

@fcukugimmeausername there not rare because thier over priced its because they only made 427 of them u dick

[fcukugimmeausername]

@Dogapilla79 Didn't they only sell 200 or so?

[Dogapilla79]

@fcukugimmeausername yeah i think so

[351brock]

What a rip off id rather buy Austin martin pluss its not actualy and ossie made car id go a falcon any day in that respect its more ossie that that over priced peice of crap!!!!

[rag5206]

No matter what anyone says the Holden isn't an Australia car NOT ONE Aussie has shares in it because it isn't even listed on the Stock Exchange. Our car industry is very similiar to Mexico's totally foreign owned and controlled. Nothing to be proud of here regarding Aussie technology. We need an Australian owned/controlled car industry especially for military defense as it could be converted to defense production when the Indo's attack

[penthrane11]

150k for this, holden logo is "I JUST WANT ONE" should be "I JUST CANT AFFORD ONE"

[fozzzy1984]

just another commodore with a guzzler engine 150k wat a rip so many better cars out there and can do morn then just drive in a straight line.

[ShootBogans]

FUCKING BOGAN TRASH

SHOOT BOGANS

[cgpilk]

@ShootBogans I'd rather see bogans driving these than VLs.

[Dragonsway]

Horrible look. If I was going to spend that much money I would want a euro car. 

[BillysAutomotive]

@Dragonsway You just dont know muscle

[Dragonsway]

@BillysAutomotive No I just don't understand why the Japs Brits and Germans keep making better cars. Its a crap car it looks like any other 25k-40k car coming out of Holden. Oh sure it has a big engine but if you spend 150k on a car and you chose this you must be crazy because it will take years to make this a classic but I doubt something so plastic will ever be a true collectors item. While this gets older the 70s classics will become more sort after.

[filOsouljAh]

shitbox

[RMZsoulja]

Lucky it was raining the day of the test otherwise no wheelspin ha ha give me a typhoon anyday and did i mention its a six and a third of the price ha ha

[twitch047]

Why are you idiots ripping on the price? its 150K cos its a walkinshaw, a legend to holden fans, same reason yanks will pay plenty for a shelby gt500 which has roughly the same horsepower. Its not so much the power or design, its the fact that this is a collectors item and with only 426 sold to public, theyre rare on the roads. deadset fucking idiots posting on this video

[aussiepyro12345]

hey check this out its actually amazing!!! zyngapokermoney.info

triple your facebook zynga poker chips easy FREE!!!

zyngapokermoney.info

[inmaniac1989]

Really? $150k?

Buy a 2005 VZ Clubsport (the best clubsport), these can be had for as little as $30k at present. Spend a very generous $10-15k on a CAPA Supercharger kit + tune and you can EASILY crack a very safe, reliable 400kw atw. Screw the W427, over rated garbage.

[janjaso]

@engaurd this car is basically a family sedan with a big wasteful engine...an engine which costs you $120,000 and you get a supposedly 'unique' car which looks like every other commodore sedan on the roads. Much better options for 150k like the BMW M3 or a Z4 or heck even a GTR has 4 seats and has everyone envious

[ctyr399]

Dont care about color.. its a friggon hsv.. Just druel.. :P

[nitroxize]

Biggest Waste of money . R35 > W427. I Rather just buy a corvette that has the same engine and not this bloody boat that aussies call sports cars , still looks like a family car to me mate

[b00Sted16]

@nitroxize You're saying an overhyped, computerised piece of shit with no feel is better than this? The W4227 is a ridiculous overpriced joke aimed at an audience who thinks anything intellectual or important to society is a load of bollocks (bogans), but it's still a lot more exciting than a GT-R.

[janjaso]

looks like a normal VE sedan, how disappointing monaro at least had 2 doors and looked like a sporty version of the sedans. 150,000$ ?? i rather buy a second hand Ferrari 360 Spider. at least a Ferrari sounds incredible (if nothing else), this lacks everything (sound, luxury, exotics,uniqueness etc) except the ability to drink fuel faster than a thirsty Godzilla camel on the moon!

[hypobusa]

hey Taxi....

[Pigeon1888]

@hypobusa U pretty much hit the nail on the head mate.

[NathanKlo]

It's still just a commodore.

[Pigeon1888]

Just another commodore with a fancy badge.

7.0 litre engine? The whole world has got past the whole "bigger = faster" American crap car philosophy, but the yanks just keep going.....

This is a badly built, bad handling, overweight shitbox.

$150k? You have got to be joking....

[hajmorusit]

@Pigeon1888 shin shong shut up toyota 

[dalmanation]

@Pigeon1888 .........So you have driven one?

[Pigeon1888]

@dalmanation I don't need to drive one, "Holden" (GM) have never built a car that would interest me in any way, they are pathetic. If I had $150k to spend on a car (which I can assure you I don't) it would be European for sure. They go around corners properly, last more than 3 years without bits falling off and are comfortable with a bit of luxury.

I have looked at the interior of these cars and it's on a par with a $20,000 Volkswagen mate, just ridiculous.

Bigger = Better = Bullshit.

[dalmanation]

@Pigeon1888 fair enough, looking at the interior makes you suitably qualified to comment. I retract my earlier inflammatory question to you.

[wildbloodydragon]

@Pigeon1888 Is that why I keep seeing just about every manufacturer adding displacement to their engines little by little? And is that why ZR1 is a 6.2 and not a 572? Hm. Interesting.

You are ignorant beyond words can describe on this topic. That said, while the technology that goes into this car is top notch, the price tag is not justifiable. Oh, and Paul Gover is terrible at doing reviews.

[Pigeon1888]

@wildbloodydragon top notch technology in a holden, ha ha ha ha, you have no idea you plonker.

Get real mate. 572??

[wildbloodydragon]

@Pigeon1888 Actually, I do, "plonker". GM was the first to use magnetic suspension, right before Audi and Ferrari took notes and went to Delphi to get their own. Top notch technology doesn't always come in the form of iDrive or dual-clutch.

And yeah, 572 cid. Never heard of it? They put those in cars.

[Pigeon1888]

@wildbloodydragon magnetic suspension is a flop u tool

[wildbloodydragon]

@Pigeon1888 lol. You're an idiot, and it shows. I rest my case. :)

[XtremelyAwesome1]

@wildbloodydragon fuck you

[opijeee]

@Pigeon1888

fuck up

[208stroker1]

@Pigeon1888 agree 200%

[Hamish356]

@Pigeon1888

It's a collectors edition car mate, not a run of the mill production designed HSV like a standard Clubby or R8.

7Litre's?? There is no replacement for displacement, sure it uses more fuel than a 3.2l BMW that does the same numbers on a track, but it's a muscle car.

I wouldn't buy one, but I love the idea of them.

[jreckaa]

@Pigeon1888 so why is the Bugatti Veyron a 8l w16??? i could keep going on for day about engins that are bigger!! great car for a country down the bottom of the globe. nothing can touch it dollar 4 dollar!!

[murry001]

I JUST WANT ONE, oh wait nevermind - i ran out of fuel....

[tararaboom]

like the guy said, theres nothing inside 2 make it look more special, or any different to any other gts! So what does that leave? The engine! What does a gts cost these days anyway, somewhere between 75 and 90 thousand? I can almost guarantee that the 7 litre engine and drive train do not cost 50 to 60 thousand dollars. HSV is such a fucking ripoff. Buy a base model SS and spend the difference of the 150 thousand that this piece of shit and glitter cost & you will have a much better car!

[crouchy35]

To think of all the cars you could get for that money....

[zenna83]

i just want 2

[rozovoprase]

@zenna83 lol no wonder 90% of deaths on roads in australia are in holden

[humesz81]

fords are twice a tough lol

[GauravA42]

Am I the only one who thinks the R8 (not the latest one) wihtout the fairy LED lights is the best looking HSV? everything above that has to many gashes, and vents etc., and the Grange is gross. I wish the other cars were available spec wise in the plain R8 body.

[cageboyes]

I am a massive Holden fan but there's no way I'd pay $150k+ for one of these..

[superflymutha]

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz BORING PLEASE SHOW ME SOMETHING ELSE.... this has been up for months what theres only Holden making cars for middle aged men going through a crisis?

[GigglingGirI]

It's a family saloon lol not even close to a sports car. If you want a real sports car get a ferrari 458 like mine ... check out the real car on my video.......

i bought mine 4 months ago and it's so awesome.

[MagnuSSungaM]

Chuck that engine in a van and I'd love it!

[DLuZivee]

@DaMaxxy No, I see the hundreds of toyotas and that. He just said no one buys it. But they made better cars in the 90s/early 2000s. Now they are just ecoshit.

[n8neiTen8n]

Japan cars = crap, European cars = THE BEST CARS IN THE WORLD - especially German CARS :)))

[n8neiTen8n]

@DaMaxxy don't even try to compare "Toyota, Mazda, Honda" to any other company... japan cars are poor na dsenseless....

[n8neiTen8n]

7.0 = 500BHP? BMW gives 507BHP from 5.0 L :X

[DLuZivee]

@DaMaxxy "why no-one buys their shit cars" that's a lie. I see hundreds, or thousands of Commodores on the road.

[XXB4XX]

I love my Holden's don't get me wrong.. but the German's get double the power from a 3.0L engine!

[Venddenta]

Piece of shit

[myhsn777]

i would rather spend the the money on amg or mpower car.

[sm007au]

What a peace of shit , $150000 for that , there fucked in the head and the people that buy them are more fucked in the head.

All Aussie cars are shit , They look like truck with big motors in them.

But I really wish I had one , so I can try to burn it , oh sorry I forgot , Shit don't burn lol

[Rusty2540]

why do cars look like shoes

[aznalex0]

holden shells are becoming more japanese style

however their engines still remain inefficient as fuel guzzlers

[vysscommodore]

Exacly**** But the problem is they are now better value than a commodore what a sad picture that paints for commodore.

[ConnorHabboC8nn8r]

Why are people hating on this car?

Its a fucking beast, just because you can't afford to buy one and probabley have to stick around driving a thrashed out VN or VR.

[vysscommodore]

These would have to be the biggest waste of money on the market today. $150,000 Idiots not worth more than $50,000

Holden have lost the plot big time.***** losers*******

I'd prefer a hyundai Better value for money

[deekaymixes]

@vysscommodore

anyone who knows anything about hyundais know there peices of fucking shit.

[sm007au]

@deekaymixes Yeah Hyundias are 10 times more better then that peice of shit , Holden HSV for $150000. What a rip off . lol I laugh at the poeple that buy them.

More dollars than cense,

[Venddenta]

@sm007au yes ,its fucking 7 liters , that not very economical , i see so many of them on Sydney's roads in the traffic and i think , how the fuck can they afford to drive that thing in morning traffic 

[Jorgie0101]

I love HSV's as much as the next guy but for $150,000 I'll take an M3 any day of the week

[DLuZivee]

@Jorgie0101 Lol, Senator for 75k, and my uncle bought one, over an M3 for 50k :/

[n8neiTen8n]

@DLuZivee It's about the quality, if you want to save the money buy some cheap car from japan - like Yaris or some other SHIT from japan.

[MotorSportAUS]

i have just bought one of these to add to my collection, view my channel and videos to see, if i get enough views on the video, i will upload a few more of me taking it for a drive on the street :)

cheers guys

[stormtatrai]

Way more negative than I thought he was gonna be...

To be fair, holden do need to do something about their interior. But they make up for moth of it with their 'Fully Sick' engines.

Nice care =)

[sainter7]

think of all the other awesome cars you could buy for $150,000.... what sorta red neck commo driver has that sorta money anyway

[buckmilo]

this car is truely one for faggots, and wanna be loosers who dont know how to drive

[pjsdogbender]

We are proud of Holden in Australia - we take technology from Chev, then we detune it and shove it under the bonnet

[tararaboom]

@pjsdogbender Chevy's motto = If it doesnt work, just make it bigger! then give Australia the older smaller engines :-P

[thatstheone87]

@tararaboom holden must be doing something right, our car industry actually survives

[cgpilk]

@pjsdogbender Shove the engine under the bonnet? They probably don't even take it out of the Pontiac/GM/Chev shell.

[64efa]

who makes these shit boxes?

[pelicanp00]

OMFG  he was like drifting it in the WET

[64efa]

looks like a wanna be 3 series

[Mechknight73]

@64efa That would have to be the biggest insult to HSV of all time. This could shred an M3 with not much effort

[noobyouall]

nice i want one but dam p plate laws

[bjjxr8]

@MrKlondite yes Ford is, just like the motor in the HSV (Homo Sex vehicle)

[mtsoccer12]

If the engine does it all for you, then whats the point of driving. (no enjoyment)

[PureS0u1]

Holden is shit! Their cars have lots of problems which requires a lot of maintanance 0_0.

[miniboy53]

@PureS0u1 oh! fuck off if you like ford you can go fuck your self there so plain true guys

[PureS0u1]

@miniboy53 I don't like Ford too xD.

[miniboy53]

@PureS0u1 oh sorry holden r way beta

[jugbugz]

ugly...

[rhysdalegend]

'I JUST WANT ONE'

[stavrosdemetriou]

shit box, no technology, rear wheel drive garbage. Nissan GTR. Thats an inspirational vehicle

[semihsozer10]

Superclubby is better then the 427

[midnightman65]

It's nothing but a fucking Chevy with a holden body. Another expensive peice of shit from Holden.............

[GauravA42]

@midnightman65 haha, im not a fan of holden, but thats wrong, the chevy camaro is based off the holden platform for the clubsport, here they have just used an american engine, but thats not as huge as the work holden did to design the camaro.

The Camaro is the only of the new muscle cars (eg Mustang) to have independant rear suspension, so thank holden for that.

[johnodude01]

@midnightman65 yeah that happens to be a fucking amazing car

[bradicalable]

best of everything huh?

best fuel efficiency? Best for the future?

fail

[rhysdalegend]

@bradicalable gtfo, go back to ur 4 cylinder

[deanotune]

ARRRRR when are people going to learn about volume levels. Im sick and tired of driving my volume slider and not watching the f****ing vid. The voice ...turn it up ...then the music blows ya out of the chair !

Friggin amateurs!. As for the car ....We have not had a REAL holden since the introduction of the VB crumpledoor. 

[Masterkimtran]

Monaros look so much better

[MRbaXR6TurbO]

what an ugly car.. my ba turbo with 5 g of mods would wipe the floor with this red piece of shit

[midnightman65]

@MRbaXR6TurbO Right on brother

[Internettroll1]

If u are stupid enough to buy one of these i pity u fools will be parted of their money.

[92benno92]

375KW!?

[thebeastmyster]

as much as I like this car, I think it's been the top feature video on my youtube at least for the past 2 years

[MurderHire]

holden is for bogans

[whitestuff15]

@MurderHire

u say that on a video of a 150,000 holden ? lol

[MurderHire]

@whitestuff15 in general. the holden above is alright

[ShootBogans]

HOLDENS ARE FOR FILTHY BOGANS

[MsCazz08]

go the HOLDEN!!! 

[DrewsTurbo]

I'm just starting out doing video as a hobby, but even I can churn out something better than this.

1. Get a presenter who presents television - not writes for a newspaper.

2. Ditch the cheesy generic rock music - makes it feel like a $1.99 promo vid.

3. Tripod tripod tripod.

4. When you have a V8 muscle car, you DON'T do track material in the wet.

5. Who wants to see the guy shift gears six times in succession?

6. Where's the sound of the engine?

7. Where's a set of performance numbers?

Fail.

[mafiouso]

[jcrubers]

@mafiouso because ford doesn't make a car that expensive in AUS

[emtzero1]

Oh, Mrs Klondyke!
