    If you can mate, using something like Imgur to post pics makes them easier to see on the forum :-)

    Of all the later HSV’s these I like the most, very understated almost elegant looking.  I find all the others too loud and over the top.  Very nice.

    Im the same, when the VE came out i thought they looked awesome, still like the VT VX look tho.

    It still look standard except for the big exhaust tips and rear diffuser fins, bonnet vents bit of a give away tho..

    If i get the 900fwhp it would be neck n neck in a drag between us

    Yep, agreed very understated, I like it a lot.

    If i get the 900fwhp it would be neck n neck in a drag between us

    That would be fun, at some stage I want to put mine on the weighbridge and see what it comes out at, the cast iron block, 12 bolt etc will all add some weight.  If you can trust those ET calculators supposedly if I hooked it up it would be nudging the high 9’s, but all I ever wanted from mine was to run a 10 in a car that I built and I would be happy.

    It’s not so cut and dried, a mate if mine recently did a 9.9 is a turbo statesman at AIR and wasn’t booted.
