HSV Clubsport questions
Discussion
Seen a HSV Clubsport on the Classifieds. Looks wise it's more or less the same as the GTS but clearly it has a different engine.
As far as I understand, the engine is the Holden / Chevy 5.0 V8.
I'm tempted with it as it's fairly cheap.
What will be my future options for tuning? How different is the 5.0 to the Holden 5.7ltr?
And what aside from the engine is different from a GTS?
If it's merely the Drivetrain then surely I've lot loads more money to play with supercharging/tuning the engine in the future, but have a fairly cheap runaround now with HSV handling and looks, and a lovely V8 sound.

Should mention this is the Red VT Clubsport.

All Great Advise. Thanks guys, I appreciate it.
It's not a monster, but as a chunky daily driver, it sounds like a good car as it is. But not one to throw money at tuning.
Better to sell / trade up later. To be fair, it sounds like it'd be cheaper to replace the engine with an LS1 than tune that engine.
