Default Perfect engine for HSV W427 successor
http://www.motorauthority.com/hennes...-zr1-spec.html

I’m pretty sure the supercharged LSA is a cheaper option than the LS7 despite having more power and torque

There will not be a predecessor to W427. Sure looks like a ballbreaker though. And 11.8 qtrs to boot!

Predecessors come before successors come after so technically you are right .

HSV have ordered up some heavy duty shocks and are trial fitting their new engine, who says you don't need displacement and then as a bonus its turbo charged. Should see off the Ford F16.

Badmac, do you think they'll do an alloy version, you know, for better weight distribution?

As I said on another forum,



I think that will do the trick. Works for both V6 and V8 models.

What is the physical size difference between the Boss and the LS3 lumps?

My guess is a cargo ship or oil tanker. Google "ship engines" and you see some wicked photos.
