Re: HSV model VE?

Those nice big red calipers give it away. I'm curious to see how the HSV treatment looks compared to the regular VE. I thought HSV did a great job keeping the Aussie GTO and GTS looking unique compared to the regular Monaro CV8.

They do the wild body kits, bigger brakes, engines etc.

Yeah something like that...however not sure if saleen is owned by Ford. Allot of the HSV customisations now come straight off the assembly line, opposed to cutting into a completed car like they used to.

I dont believe they are. Infact looks like Saleen who normally modifies Ford Mustangs did the Camaro for the upcomming transformer movie. But SVT is owned by Ford and Performance Division is owned by GM here. Im surprised to see a GTO on HSV site. It looks like the Monaro. On the Holden site it looks like the Comodors side fenders stick out farther than on the video. That thing looks good with those wheels and short overhang. I like that line low on the door too. I wonder if thats on the Zeta2 plat. If so could Camaro be not too far behind it? I wonder if well get the Commadore as a Buick.
