617 horsepower holden super sedan, apparently ctsv's new opponent!!!

I dunno how that car could compete with the V being they share the same platform.

But I'd build up a G8 GXP M6 like that though.

But if I am not correct the ctsv is only putting down 564hp and the holden is rated at 617. I knew they were on the same platform but I believe I cought something in their about them competing with it!!!!

Edit: This is straight from the post

(Walkinshaw Performance, a company that tunes up Holdens into torque monsters, just lifted the veil on its latest creation, reports Carscoop. It is called the WP Series II Supercar, and it makes an insane amount of horsepower for a comfortable sedan, beating even the all-conquering CTS-V in that particular statistic).

Bad@$$ car nonetheless.

Yea none the less, either way I would still own either one of them haha!! I like the holdens looks a little more tho!!

this car isnt a standard model. its tuned by a company called Walkinshaw Performance. basically they slapped a super charger onto a 6.0 liter commodore.

With only 23 being built I doubt you could buy one even if you had the money.

Doesn't come near the cts-v. What makes the cts-v is not only the supercharged engine, it is the amazing suspension. Doesn't look like it will have the same suspension, so it will be like the camaro - I can go fast in a straight line....yay!
