Isn't HSV also medical speak jargon for Herpes Simplex Virus?

HSV Turns up the Heat
Maybe it needs to try that new cream.

There's a new E Series 2 3D tease video on the myhsv website (for members only)

It's looking more like the leaked photos are real.

And there some more clues on the new features in the video.

Yep, just like GMC is Gay Mans Car.

GMH engineering department stands for Get Moving Halfwits. Maybe the same for the people who drive them?

He he he.
I heard the new 4wd from GM is going to be called the "Brokeback MT".
Just kidding, I love GM. If it wasn't for GM and their products nobody would be loyal to ford.

Wow.

That's all I can say. I thought the "don't watch the video clip" was a typical ford owner bashing HSV, but no. That video.. no words.. ....

I see a couple of them regularly in Middle Park (red and black). I had a few shots on my phone but I think I deleted them. They've been lurking around for donkey's!

Just checked out the MIB impersonator's in the video section of the HSV site. Our Holden v8 supercar drivers better not give up the day job.

That first video with Tander was s***house even for the amateurs that shot and out it together.

The second ad with the fancy CG was expensive rubbish but technically sound.

The FPV ads are a little underdone, but class all the way.

There are about 4 new ones released, one with Greg Murphy, Will Davison, Leanne Tander and some other V8 driver, all as bad as each other.

Its looks as though the pics in post 103 are the real deal going off the exhaust tip shown in the second video.

Should of used Whincup.

Why is the most secret HSV so far? Are they just trying to hype up a small upgrade?

I thought it was brilliant (that Tander didn’t say a word in this one).

These videos are selling more run out E Series one models than anything else.

Not by much apparently. 320 or 325kw is the rumour.

That's the clubsport number, GTS will be more, by how much i don't know but i believe from some of the comments ive heard that the GTS maybe a watered down version of the W427 for VE2.

That wouldn't surprise me at all. HSV has been excellent at anticipating Ford/FPV's moves in the past with the exception of the VYseries 260 vs the BAGT 290's. Lets say FPV are planning to launch a 360kw Supercharged GT next year it would make sense that they (HSV) drop in a slightly detuned 7Ltr that will make similar power and torque. Will make a clear point of difference between to the brands that both can claim an advantage.

This is a quote from the E2 thread over at ls1.com

Quote:
I havnt read the hole thread but i can confirm that

GTS will have 325Kw all others stay the same
All manuals have launch control
Driving lights are like the pic of the Red wagon
Pic of the rear of silver GTS is pretty much spot on
GTS does look better in real life, but to much for me, so i will look at the Sentor
There are now two stability control modes, normal and sports

Two stability modes is a nice premium touch. Something FPV should look at. Even if its only a gimmick it would be a point of differentiation between the models

Hmm.. stay the same in what way? 317kw?, it doesnt make sense.
320kw clubsport, 325kw GTS? still seems under done by HSV standards.
