No doubt a sponsor with a new product.
Maybe a SC or Cam/Head package?

More info is available to IT techie's. However my lips are sealed as I dont want to spoil anything for anyone.

How about this then? Do the math on the KW -> BHP conversion

The final farewell to the Holden Monaro promises to be special.

The last of the two-door Holdens will be built by Holden Special Vehicles in the second half of the year, and there is every indication of a high-powered, limited-edition run.
Potential customers report plans for a final HSV Coupe with a red body, black cabin and as much as 375kW from a tuned, seven-litre, LS7 V8 engine.

Fifty cars will be made, with a model code of BB7.

They will cost about $125,000, and Coupe and Monaro owners will be given priority.

Holden has already sold out of its own last-blast Monaro, the gold-bodied CV8Z, which cost $60,490. There were 1600, with a first run of 1200 and an extra 400 to satisfy demand.

HSV admits it is working on a way to farewell the Coupe, but won't reveal much more.

"We have no comment," Chris Payne of HSV says. "There are various rumours that are not necessarily true. When we're ready for an official comment, we'll make it."

Payne says HSV is finishing preparations for a 100-car run of the LE edition GTO. These will go into production next month.
