For $30k extra and 1.2lt more capacity one would expect it to be more than just on par with a GT.

Also you lot banging on about all the "strengthened" driveline gear and compononents as if HSV have really gone the mile. Let's not forget that the s/c 5.0lt doesnt have strengthened diff/tailshaft, 5748474 coolers, yet people have been reliably getting 450+ rwkw with an input shaft being the only major weak point.
Exactly and we still don't even know the facts about this car,stock?,owner driver?,or how many kids he had to sell to buy it. And man they look ugly.....looks like a fat bulbous boat goin fast.....certainly no road presence of even the merc beside it either.
