Um, get a life, idiot - this post is absolutely disgraceful.

To actually answer the question, I had a minor knowledge of Holden and HSV through a British magazine I pick up every month (the HSV Commodore is just starting selling in the UK), but Jazza, Dudebusta and the rest have really taught me everything else I know!

Hey but I had no idea what the hell "Vauxhall" was until I visited Britain - so you Aussies should feel special that I've heard of the car company before I visited the country!

some of the newer HSV vehicles will have twin turbo'd 427ci quad cam chevs under the bonnet. good for 420 000 watts of power. thats 571+ horsepower for the americans. hows that for power 1mic you ****stain.

I heard of Holden through watching a video, but until I looked up their website, I thought that was the only car they made.

I also learned they're £40,000 over here.

Edit: That's for an HSV.

A stock commodore is about $35,000 and SS (which as a kit 17" wheels and V8 LS1 wit 22kw stock) is about $45,000

EDIT: Thats Australian Dollars.
