  • stupid question of the day- will this car be available in the US anytime soon?

  • This car is only going to be in australia, as 427 of them were ever made.

  • $150k is too much, this is for rich idiots who want something unique and mildly quick straight off the floor.... i'd rather dump $70-80k on a hsv and then spend that again on upgrades/tuning etc

see all

  • Yeh this thing went well :-/

  • its like a ZR1 sedan

  • @Kollif even rich idiots wouldnt buy this when a porsche priced the same with less power will eat this

  • @k2mountainhigh that was the original intention. in the end only 138 were made

  • if this has 370kw then why are they saying the new gt is the most powerfull aussie car??

  • @FormulaOneFan4Eva instead a bunch of stupid aussies will take the holden badge off and put a chev badge on it

  • @k2mountainhigh correction they were going to build 427, but they ended up building just under 200.

  • I have......:)
