Ah, but they do now. You can have any colour you like.

Also, I think the ssv needs a cam smile

That purple is fantastic. The hot pink looks good as well, just don't think I could live with it on a daily basis.

Ok, now make us sick and tell us the price!

Actually I bet the vxr8 is better value!

Mine has the L98, I think power is the same on the manuals on both the L77 and L98, I'm sure I read somewhere that the auto has about 13bhp more which mine is Ian. Auto was going to be my choice here just for ease of drivability on these roads!

Price? At the current exchange it cost me £11,000, so theoretically the VXR8 probably does make better financial sense for the UK but here the HSV Clubby R8 is quite a bit more than the SSV.

Plenty of scope for tuning on the SSV though...............

Yup, 2007.

Amazingly it costs me about £250 to insure fully comp protected! That was £60 more to insure than a 2008 Hyundai Getz I bought the wife!
