Can someone tell me more info about that green 5 door, 4wd Holden that was "unveiled" at Sydney?

I only saw a brief glimpse on the news.

Mustang,

Have been to that site and found nothing on the green 5 door.

Did a search and found this. Very impressive.

I just saw the HRT 427 Coupe, that looks pretty awesome. I wonder where they'll race it, probably Nations Cup.

Sorry Bob,

I did also find a web site on the 5 door hatch and I have to admit WAS very impressed with it. Infact the boss and I are going to the show on sunday now for a look see at the new GT, and these cars Holden are bringing out.

Holden now have full details on thiet web site www.holden.com.au (http://www.holden.com.au) it looks awsome. i must say i was rather dissapointed with the HRT 427 i was expecting an over the top body kit, instead its just basically a monaro. i do love the engine though. can anyone tell me how much KW it is? ive looked everywhere but cant find out.

also i spose ill be the first dreamer, id love to see the the SSX and the jack8 in 1:43 in a holden concept collection.

I was reading the Daily Telegraph today and it said that the HRT 427 was suspected to be about 340 kw but you'd think it would be higher considering last years HRT Maloo had 350 from a 6.5 ltr gen 3.

The hatch is a BIG WOW, the 427 is ok but all the action is under the skin.
Having just brought the new VY "S" I was impressed to see that all of the optional extras that I screwed out of the dealer are standard interior features on the HSV clubsport, ie the leather wheel, pedals, handbrake, gear shifter and the chrome satin door handles.
Some one said the the (HBD) company is being backed by HSV, so it makes sense.
The show is OK but my tip is take a half day off on go during the week first thing it was great very little people and no que for looking and the cars or sitting in them.
HRT 2002 models were $149.00 at HSV stand.
