I think this was at me so:

Uuuummmm yes!

I don't really get what you mean here but I was saying that I understand why a Expensive Daewoo bloke would buy one of these. . . . .

My apologies for not paying attention while I was reading :)

They'll sell like hotcakes, cause they're limited in numbers and people like exclusivity. These things will boost the egos of 427 owners, so it's not really about whether it's going to be the quickest thing on the road. You could buy a Hyundai Excel, spend $20k and have it blow the tits off a stock T. This is PURELY about exclusivity and if anyone says otherwise, they have rocks in their head.

:spit:

Just something they tell each other over on LS1 to make themselves feel better. Wasn't Walkinshaw bankrupt only a few years ago....he'd be doing very well to own Prodrive!

prodrive own 50% of FPV not walkinshaw
:spoton: 51%

Although it's a Expensive Daewoo and it's a hell of a lot of money, providing the owners look after their cars, in a few years it may be worth over $200k, any 6T with a heap of money spent on it will only be worth 10-20 K

no way in hell these cars will appreciate in value in the coming years.

Have a look back at recent memory with the special HSV that come with milestone kw numbers. Already mentioned the 1996 215kw GTS-R going for over $100k when new, now worth as much as a used 5 year old taxi.

Then you have the 2002 300kw GTS coupe for $100k going for about $35k these days. The problem with Expensive Daewoo as opposed to ford is they bring out a more power car every year devaluing the previous year cars very quickly...

I'd take a bet that the 427 engine will be standard form within 2 years
