Has anyone seen the Cars Guide today in the Sun, A un-named source that was at Holdens proving ground apparently has seen a HSV R8 with a turbo running on a Dyno, I am only repeating what is written in the paper I realize that it is the usuall hyped up bull but found it interesting none the less due to all the talk of a blown FPV GT.

I'd have thought the preferred FI method would be to supercharge...?

Skimming through yesterdays cars guide i noticed there was also talk of commodore diesel prototypes and a new Coupe as well as the turbo V8, after seeing Paul Gover had written the article i put it down to propaganda and promptly turned the page.
His journalism reminds me of someone, i just can't put my finger on who......

Another carsguide, another fresh load of **** dumped on our doorstep on a Friday morning.
I love how Paul Gover did the whole "we are not anti-ford and pro-holden' write up a few months ago and since then has taken the Holden worship to new levels with nothing but negativity towards Ford. It's like he was in the office and thought "i'm glad to get that off my chest, now i'm just going to say whatever the hell I want!" The fact that he wrote an article to try and clear carsguide of any bias was an obvious indication that they are in fact very biased.
