Pfft, even bigger at 6.2l...Look at ferrari's making that power out of a 4.5l (admittedly less torque - but less weight and naturally aspirated)
Might be worth noting that article is only hearsay too.

If you can leave two black stripes from the exit of one corner to the braking zone of the next, you finally have enough horsepower.

Not sure a Ferrari is a fair comparison... not really in the same price bracket.

Re: HSV's new supercharged V8
Indeed. I'd just be surprised if they did go with a bigger engine. The 6l is already a bit of a heffa.

Re: HSV's new supercharged V8
There was a few roaring noises, when I went past the Test area the other day. Wonder if it could of been the car doing some laps/straight lines?.
Some play it safe on the merry-go-round, others go for the thrills of the roller-coaster.
