Wasn’t impressed by the 8s in a 4L80 as the junkyard LS fox crowd does that regularly here in the states. Now a 4550lb car doing 8’s? That shit was impressive. One of the reasons why I’m going Harrop 2650 when I get around to LSA swapping and DOD deleting my Caprice PPV. Going to try to make the 6L80 live in pursuit of an eventual high 9 time slip
@@edmundnlemadim8480 good luck my stock 6l80 gave up the fight around 10.5 the slip says it should be way faster” trapping 135 mph” but it just couldn’t handle the power through the lower gears
Awesome work by Harrop and of course the car owner, engine builder etc. It's resulted in a burger with the lot, a car that can be driven anywhere, anytime, in luxury and with better than supercar performance.
"better than supercar performance"! Take the POS to Nurburgring and watch the real performance cars slay it! at 4550lbs it will chew out it's tyres before you put in a single lap! Being a Holden it will break quickly because GM has always built shit!
@@rodneyvanderveen8376 Sad comment Rodney. So what you are suggesting, aside from a slight against a car brand, is how a half million dollar supercar would top end a Commodore on the autobahn. If I owned an expensive supercar with excellent aerodynamics etc and I couldn't beat a supercharged Commodore, I would be very upset. The reality though is that we don't have autobahns in Australia, the laws don't allow for high speed on our public roads. So people take their cars to legal drag strips and the like. And it's there that this Commodore would kick the proverbial butt of any supercar on the planet. Unless of course the owner of a half million dollar car invests another $100,000 plus on making it faster. Horses for courses my friend.
Wow what an absolute beast of a GTS 🤩🤩💪💪 Nice Job Buddy 😉😉😎😎🥳🥳 How bout a Big arse Turbo under the rear end as well or 2 Smaller Twins instead of one big one 😃😃🤩🤑🤗😝😁 It'll go mid 7's no worries at all and it's all do-able.. No need for an Intercooler either and plenty of heat kept out of the engine bay due to the Turbo not being in there which is a good thing
Wonder why he just didn’t do a ss or base Madeline and just put a kit on it seems to be a waste of a GTS, but everyone has their idea of what they want

I LOVE it, I LOVE it but unfortunately to get the 1000HP needed, there are 500 moving and over stressed parts in the engine not including the parts inside the gearbox waiting their turn to blow up and that is inevitable. The reality is that for example a Tesla Plaid has only a couple moving parts, costs much less and is almost as quick straight from the showroom floor. These fuel guzzling cars will end up in a garage with no prospect of being sold in the next ten years, if not sooner when petrol reaches $3 or $4 a liter. Or from another perspective who will buy a car that costs $1 just in fuel alone to go a distance of 1 km ! and worst to add insult to injury (and the embarrassment) gets blown away by a much cheaper electric car. Its sad but the world is changing.
Yeah kool mate. People will buy and drive them regardless most people do not drive them daily anyway. And are used as weekend cars special occasions and car cruises nowdays anyways...
Saw this beast at Heathcote raceway a few months back, waited all day to see it run and was not disappointed in the end, absolutely killa machine
wow, to do 8s in such a heavy car is very impressive 👌
Holly smokes that’s a big car to be that quick.

Just a Question is Ron Harrow still working I use to Race him in his black Holden it ran 11s in the 70s good bloke 👍👍👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
When is Harrop going to offer upgrades to throttle body/intake on the 2650 Coyote platform? Similar to what this supercharger features.

@@HarropTV ahhhh ok!
For sale ?
What sre the details on the street wheels please?

Not that anyone cares but just wondering what's the fuel consumption around town ???
About 10 ltres per kilometre, extremely poor!
