Perfect familar transport.

Only 385rwhp mate.
Not very exciting, a lot of guys here will top that.

But lots of potential for sure
Cam only and tune etc gave 470rwhp..

Do a search on ls1.com.au "w427" for more info.

That is 500 at the Crank.

Plenty for most days.

Yep I know about what you can do, having been to Pauls / Wortec a few week back and seen the LS2 TT 800bhp thing there - they are aiming for 1500!bhp at the fly.

This W427 is Great IMHO for the school run.

Yeah I guess Im really saying its overpriced for what you get. A cheap mod on a stock VXR8 will get you more power for a quarter of the price.
But maybe its not about that. (ie) Perhaps people like wasting money.

Drop a few TT's on it or a Blower!

It does weigh rather alot! 1890kg or something!

Spent some time reading the other articles as well. Hispano Suiza H6C Tulip Wood Torpedo has always been one of my dream cars. Great photos (and article)on a beautiful and unique car!
