now how did I miss that?
I had no idea it was cammed. I thought it was stock internals and a bolt-on TT kit?

I wasn't saying that anybody did wrong by the vid, just posting up that this was basically the fastest stock engine G8. When you cam it, you change the rules of the game for sure.
As for the age of the vid I posted, it was taken on the first weekend in November, I was actually there to watch that car run, and it was very impressive!
But I am. lolQuote:

That G8 in that European video is the European version from Vauxhall or something like that. They are kind of like Magna Charger here in the States. The Euro version of the Holden is accented with Euroflare and topped with a nice SC designed and installed by Vauxhall. So no it is NOT factory at all. Sure its a Holden, but the SC is not factory Holden. It is totally aftermarket.
I still would want one :) We all thought the GTX was sexy when it came out, Vauxhall did the same thing with the European version of the Holden :)
Here is another video of the SC VXR8 version. It's truly sick!!Quote:
Actually this car 100% Australian!! Designed and built Down Under! known as a HSV Clubsport R8, its just been rebadged as a Vauxhall VXR8 in the UK or Pontiac G8 in the USA!!! the only part not Australian in the car is the GM engine which has been customised in Australia. But then reworked in the UK and USA....

Very true, but I'm still impressed about getting so much out of basically a stock setup with some bolt ons.Quote:

It's not a W-Body......the tranny can handle 500hp.Quote:
