Headed to the Sydney Motor Expo today and saw some immense Holdens (and Fords of course!)

There were plenty of drag cars and a very impressive 1100bhp Holden Torana! There was also an 800+ bhp Commodore and plenty of Monaros reliably giving 500+ BHP!

I know the scene is a millions times crazier out here in Australia, but I was wondering if there are any madly powerful Holdens in the UK and amongst PH!

Great day today btw, I really see the attraction of Aussie Muscle even more now :D

My car was dynoed twice @ 502bhp, further improvements should have increased that slightly.

No worries Will. Hope to hear some posistive news on your car soon.
Little things starting to go wrong with A57 HSV recently, the bearings on the pulley that guide/tension the drive belt seized, passenger window jammed & the drop links on the front suspension need replacing. Not bad I suppose for a car with this performance & built 4 years or so ago. Just used to having virtually no aggro from it.
All parts available of the shelf from LSV, fitting done by friends local Saab garage so can't really grumble.

The pulley replacement is likely to be upgraded, puts a little more tention on the belt, Oz motor cops had belts coming off when chasing bikers apparently!
