Walkinshaw Holden SS-V Superwagon: 603 HP Of Salt-Rubbing-In-Wound Pontiac Power
http://jalopnik.com/5500938/walkinsh...-pontiac-power
One of the best performance sedans GM ever built, the Pontiac G8 GXP, is dead. The Aussies still get a Holden version, and a wagon. Heck, this one from Walkinshaw Performance packs 603HP. Wagon. V8. Supercharger. Sometimes the world's unfair.
Walkinshaw's Superwagon is based on a Holden SS-V Special Edition Sportwagon which comes from the factory with a 362HP 6.0-liter V8 with 390 lb-ft of torque. Not too shabby for a slick wagon. But Walkinshaw saw that as a starting point, packing on a roots type supercharger, bigger fuel injectors and custom 3-inch exhaust system to raise output to an passenger-rearranging 610 HP and 568 lb-ft of torque. The car also gets a stiffer set of lowering springs, new dampers and 20" wheels and a powertrain warranty for all the work which matches the length of the original GM warranty. Have we mentioned is available with a six-speed manual transmission. We're about to go cry in our Wheaties.

fuck I love Holdens. That looks really good! and a 600 horsepower supercharged V8!
I can't wait to visit Australia. My bro-in-law has a Commodore SS (G8) but he has to keep it corked to keep the wife happy, heh. He heard an exhaust clip of my car and he said "that's bloody awesome, mate!"

And just for the record guys, you all fail because I'm pretty sure this wagon hasn't been posted yet.
