RE: sjc's Holden HSV GTS-R
Discussion
No, I've been talking to Mark about the new 2 door Coupe he's bringing in. Its made by the Oz tuning company CAPA and features AP brakes, Bilstien suspension and lots of other fancy stuff inside and out. The HSV version looks stunning, I am awaiting pictures of the CAPA model. Standard madel kicks out 435bhp and costs £45k - the expensive one an amusing 570bhp at £70+k.
Did a track day at Silverstone last week. A lot of fun but the old girl is just to heavy for all the hair-pins on the GP circuit. I had never been overtaken on a race track before and I don't like it.
Am also now considering a couple of second-hand supercharged HSVs - the black one at LSV and the silver one at Warrender. However, both are ove-priced. The guys at Warrender reckon they've had 220mph out of it - sounds like the calibration on the speedo needs checking.
