I am seriously looking at buying a new standard SS ute in manual. However in the back of my mind I am wondering whether or not it might be worth holding off to see what Holden does with their next generation of V8 engines?
I'd really like to say that I could conside an FPV GS ute, but I just don't fit under the steering wheel. Apart from that accomodation issue, I really like the 5.0 S/C, its a ripper engine. So back to the Holden 6.0 litre, it is muscular too, in a different way, loves to rev and has some serious get up and go. More than enough to get the rears going through second gear. So for the money I am looking at spending (35k) I can get into an SS and drive away, but I am intending to keep whatever I buy this time for 10 years +. So I dont want to regret it! Finances can be stretched for the right car. I have read somewhere that GM will be releasing Gen 5 series V8's sometime shortly. Any idea what it might entail? 5.5 Litres sounds familiar with 300 odd kw. So what would you do? |
