Looks like Holden could build a new V6 powered RWD midsized sedan. Let me be the first to say i'd buy this in a second and i think a lot of MAzda6, 3-series and Accord Euro buyers would too.

Good, that means they can trash the Vectra and Astra and kill them off for good...

No wait, kill the Tigra and keep the Astra, as much as I hate Astras..

The Tigra is just GOD AWFUL! *bleh!*

Vectra's been gone for a fair while now, mate :D Replaced by the Epica, which is even worse...

If they make it look like the concept car, they're on a winner.

Swapped a Euro for a Korean.... ever noticed all the re-badged Holdens names seem to end in "a" vectra, viva, epica, nova, calibra ect ect..wierdos

Will it be called a "torana" ? the concept did look horn

The picture and the car have nothing to do with each other they explicitly state that the 2 cars will not be the same. Though how accurate the article is could be another issue all together different. A turbo model is a possibility. THAT is interesting. Wonder how heavy the vehicle is. A V6 tt model rwd.. wack in the 6 pot fronts and 4 pot rears + some good suspension... that could be a fun machine... I'd give it a try before judging the vehicle.

yeah... the pink and white interior matches your panties.... :nyaanyaa:

naah id get a lime green one to match your bikini. :whistling:

then park it beside my midnight blue 350kw@allfour gtr and wine red 600kw@allfour gts4

How long you reckon it'll take for someone in the holden camp to do an LS1 swap?

That is, if a turbo version isn't released.

hmmm 10 dollars says that holden will make a v8 version, bathurst n all, public demand will deem it fiscally viable option.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
