Supposedly in the works is the HSV W427 using the Z06 LS7 engine.

Well, same minus the motor then.

The front clip does look sweet...kinda like a CTS except with better looking headlights.

What's the deal? Did they revoke Al Gore's visa from Australia or something?

I don't get it!

G8 GT vs G8 GXP is not the same as CTS vs CTS-V.
The Cadillac analogy is a little more dramatic.
G8 GT: 6.0 Liter 361hp L76 With Automatic
G8 GXP: 6.2 Liter 402hp LS3 Auto or 6 Speed

I am finding it a challenge to get good pics of the Halos on my car. Here is the best shot I got last night. Unfortunately I have a little condensation happening.

I wish I could get a HSV Grange, or Suadi Arabia Caprice SS, maybe I can figure out a way to get a Caprice PPV, the change it into a Grange or Caprice SS.
