New Holden Coupe...

[_8OO5TED_]

Anybody else notice the "Boost" on the instrument cluster?

I did, perhaps shes blown?whats that hiding behind the front bar too, an intercooler?

[Yo-Yo]

Neva thought I'd say this, but I don't mind that holden

[MIVEC]

I predict that by the time this car reaches production:

No side mounted exhausts

B Pillar installed

Racing seats removed

Racing harnesses removed

Still, damn hot car that's for sure.

[sh@un]

that looks so much better than the VT based Monaro

very tough

[Yidz]

the other points in your post hold some merit, i think the contrary, but whatever, if it does see production, many aspects will change.

as for the bit about the holden badge, open your bollocksing eyes. stop being so damn single minded. its attitudes like that which cause so much trouble in the automotive 'enthusiast' scene.

appreciate the car for what it is, dont simply write it off because of the badge.

made me lol edit, bollocks. nicely done to whoever set that up.

Every thread that is to do with holdens he posts the same shit.

Vietorous, can you post a pic of your car? You are so unbelievably single minded about things. So bollocksing what if it has a holden badge. Do you like the new GTR? If so, how can you not atleast respect the look of this car? Its not that far off it and shares a lot of similarities in design. But I forgot, R33 GTS-T's are the be all and end all of cars and because you've got one, that makes it sick..

Remember it's got a Holden badge. He thinks every Holden is crap. Probably never had any real experience either, other than riding shotgun in a mate's worn out VP V6 for 5 minutes.

Never liked him, or his opinions.

Just poking a little fun. I respect people and their choices on the car - I have mates that drive Holdens and sure I crack a funny one here and there but its all fun and games.

My attitude doesnt cause trouble in the automotive enthusiast scene - the attitudes that do are the ones who says it seriously and takes it seriously. Friendly competition doesnt hurt.

Whats a pic of my car got to do with anything? When did I ever say my car is better/be all end all/fully sick? I'm just posting an opinion on the car of topic and cracking a funny one. Harden up - dont like my post theres an "ignore user" option in my profile - use it.

I think it looks way tougher/better than the r35 GTR..if only it could perform as well. The 7.0 hsv thing is pretty gayass... red interior makes me sick.

Done.

I think it looks pretty good really and borrows a bit from the new Camaro, except there's something about the back wheels setup which just seems a little bit odd and not quite with the rest of the car.

What's wrong with pushrods anyway?

push rod engines dont rev, dont make power, and are clearly handicapped.

You are joking about the don't make power remark aren't you? Bolt on a twin turbo kit onto a LS1 with just upgraded valve springs and you'll see 400rwkw. Bolt one onto a LS2 and you'll see 450-500rwkw.....How on earth is that not power?

[scandyflick]

it was a heavily sarcastic remark.

[PM-R33]

it was a heavily sarcastic remark.

Lol ok thought so, just was making sure

[noisia]

looks f*kn tuff

i would buy one

and on the whole pushrod argument, and yes we've heard it all before

its relatively old technology compared to twin cam etc

but GM are still using it coz its still quite an effective set-up

personally im waiting for the big quad cam donk to start production in the near future hopefully

End of the day, it's a rusty old v8 as compared to Fords DOHC v8's.

From what I've read, Ford will be using Jaguar v8's from 2010 onwards.

It's f*cken hooooorrrrrrrrn. I saw it at the motorshow today. Wheels are awesome and the tail light design has segmented illumination. It's really hard to describe but looks great up close.
