Billsta Member 355 Member For: 18y 8m 8d Location: Rolling on my 20's Posted 27/06/07 04:42 AM Share Posted 27/06/07 04:42 AM (edited) Where really up the creek with the New Wheels magazine reporting on the new VE GTS 427 385kw to be here in October 2007. It is offical that 100 to 150 of these will be built and one has already been down the production line to test its dry sump clearance to the Cross member. It will have a completely revised driveline and with 620Nm of torque is expected to be by far the fastest Australian production car ever built. With genuine 12 second quaters expected and a $120 000 price tag it will be as fast as a M5 at half the price. Expensive Daewoo Dealers have had an idea about it for a while and have taken deposits on them already. The first prototype was a white VE GTS that went down the line to see if any of the componets would effect assembly as they are different to the normal GTS and had a tag on it DONT REV PAST 4000rpm.PS. If they come out I will be hunting it down and blowing it's doors off in my stock looking PHOON! Edited 27/06/07 04:43 AM by Billsta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Engine weighs the same corvette gearbox is 2kg lighter.It would have at least 300rwkw maybe even upto 320rwkw, anyone know what the corvettes run stock on the dyno in the u.s?My (stock looking) 427rwkw 1770kg Phoon is on stand by for attack!!
