475kw supercharged LS9 to be available in 250 Commodores.

http://www.news.com.au/technology/innovation/motoring/holden-gets-green-light-from-detroit-to-build-165000-commodore-with-supercharged-corvette-power/news-story/4a4519edef971b2cd9219a4eb92b15aa

with performance that will outpace the latest Porsches and Ferraris.

Sounds kinda exciting. Will be cool to see an Australian built car really stick it to Ze Germans.

Gee another chump driven hero car that we need to put up with drag racing every skyline on the freeways.

Oh well we have another ego to crush I suppose.

Don't forget the new ford mustangs! I've already come across a few full blown spanners weaving in and out of peak hour traffic.

Hmm American muscle power plant in the iconic Aussie Commo.

Not sure how that might be received..

Anyone remember the reaction of Holden fans when the VL came out with the RB30.

They were disgusted at it, but much later became very popular as everyone slowly realised the potential of the RB.

Another mongrel Holden.

Are you serious? The commodore v8 has been a chev since 2000.

LS's are all american engines and been in holdens since the VTs.

Aussies have always loved the SB chevs since I think 1969 with the HT monaros.

And Chev have been rethinking the Camaro is well so we may yet see it in Aus......then we will all be able to buy 'new age' american muscle if we can afford it. And there is always the Camry :woot: for us poor downtrodden plebs.

But we all be driving Tesla's by then!!!

      It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in

      No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.

      @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣

      Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
