An HSV "Hyper" GTO???

A definate possibility:


"Holden sources said the Elizabeth assembly plan was seen as a good way to get HSV exports underway, after a couple of years where they had been mooted but the launch date had been consistently pushed back.

It could also ease the way for potential exports to the USA, where Holden believes sales volume for a hyper Pontiac GTO could be more than 3000 per year.

Would that mean it got a HSV performance pkg to bump it over 400hp, or would that mean it gets the 427cid motor???

I'm guessing it would be the breaks, suspension, wheels, body kits etc?

If it comes to the US, it will be fun to watch the GM cynics try to whine about the styling of a 400-horse GTO!
