This is just stoopid now, LS2 6.0 V8
Putting it in every Holden coupe/saloon model including the Monaro, with the range topper called the GTS. This thing is unbelievable.




Clubsport R8 Commodore, same engine

I believe they are not cosmetic though, but im not too keen either. You can supercharge these LS2's up to about 850bhp for $AU 17,000.

If that bonnet were on a Corsa then yes it'd be wrong. But with 6 litres of engine underneath it just works

Fuel is still only 40p a litre for Opticrap/Ultishite, and driving over here is a whole different ball game, you can get good MPG in just about anything.
