Thought this might be of a little interest: http://www.carsales.com.au/news/2009...ow-debut-17159
Supercharged LS7 7.0l engine! Madness. No chance GMH will get a hold of any of these engines, right? |

The problem with the LS7 engines for Holden is that they were over $22,000 for them to buy.
Damn good looking car though...

Yeah, the W427 has the 7.0l, but minus the supercharger, and probably the internals aren't as strong.
I'm pretty surprised that the Americans have supercharged the LS7. I was thinking, it being a small block, the cylinder walls might be a bit thin... |

I don't know why they didn't just start with an LS9. It's already supercharged.

I don't know why they keep pumping out bigger and bigger V8's when the future of GM is so damn shaky..

That Blue VE Commy that is a rehash of an older Commy recently posted in the Pub did have an engine package that was around or over the 500kw mark didn't it? And I think that was with the 6.2L Chev engine?
Agreed that it is a beast of a package, but money foolishly spent considering the way current trends are going. |

Nice Car.
Reading the local press here and what I have experienced, the Mustang is a nicer drive to the Camaro. Admittingly I only took the Camaro around the block (will take it for a few days and do a proper conclusion). Both cars are awesome, I like the look and presence of the Camaro but to drive I would say the 2010 Stang is a better steer. A review on edmunds compared the Hennesy super charged Camaro v GT500 and the winner went the GT500's way.
