How the <beep> can they only get 360hp and 390ftlbs from a 6 litre block??? Should be at least 500hp and the same trq!!
It's all Bollox.
Half of what you read is bull and the other half is all <beep>.

Dunno, over here in the UK, the gen III (LS3) motors produce 410-440bhp (2008 VXR8). I'm gunna say it's our <beep> petrol and some idiot greenie detuning the gen IV (LS4) motors. Poofters.

Of course you could always track down a Bathurst S with the Walkenshaw blower strapped on. They have enough power to put a crease in the world, 560 bhp (570 with optional high-performance exhaust system) and about 500lbs of twisting force. Apparently with the exhaust flap open it pumps out 102dbA sound-track, combine that with the supercharger :shock: Clarkson said "it sounds like a million killer bees put through a woodchipper"
Still, I wouldn't have one, they're for bogans. Gimme a standard one and I'd never get the sideways smile off my face.
No matter where you go, there you are.
