      Lol. Its just a car. We got sick of these cars in Australia, hence there is no local car industry left. Holden and ford v8 cars were the most annoying cars on our roads. Annoying sounding, driven by small dick accident pr8be knuckle heads and just a plane nuisance.

    Car looks in excellent condition. Sounds amazing. Performance is as expected solidly in the 6’s with its contemporaries from Ross’s other reviews:
    WH Supercharged LS1 statesmen - 6secs
    VF HSV Ute Auto - 6.02secs
    VF HSV Clubsport tuned manual 6.08secs
    AU S/C Ute -6.17 secs
    XR6T Ute manual - 6.12secs
    BF F6 - 6.18secs
    VZ cam and bot ons - 6.20secs
    E3 Senator - 6.34secs
    VZ Club R8 - 6.4secs
    608hp VE S/C Ute - 6.58secs
    HSV VY Senator Auto - 6.68secs
    2005 BA FPV GT - 6.8secs
    XR8 Ute manual 6.85secs
    Dragy is a brutally honest performance tool. Doesn’t provide the ‘safe space’ that dynos provide.

      When I brought her she had 157000 on the clock with another 125k put on her in just 2 years.
      Since buying her I've given her a closed door respray and has pretty much sat in my garage since with her only coming out for the odd owners club meetings.
      She wasn't a perfect example by far hence the respray but is still original with no mods or factory options.

    What happened to all these early/mid 2000s clubsports and SS models? 2005 feels like it wasn't too long ago, but I hardly see them around anymore in Sydney. Did everyone lose interest and sell them when the VE came out? or did they simply garage them when Holden shut shop? Same thing with turbo JDM coupes, all but vanished from the street once they started appreciating. I guess with the release of SUV and dual cab after dual cab updates every year I didn't realise how long ago we left the last performance car period.
