Lol Yup the Dodge is made by Daimler/Chrysler... But those guys have nothing to do with this beast... Good job too, as they'd only ruin it...
I'm not surprised your confused Jay... They aren't for sale in America/Canada... At least not yet... But I think they will be soon enough... Kinda strange That GM are sourcing cars from Europe and Oz now. The Saturn Astra and Pontiac GTO being examples. It should be noted that the most recent GTO was an HSV rebadged as a Pontiac. It had a few cosmetic changes here and there from the version that was sold in the UK and Outrider's part of the world. But nothing drastic.
Anyway... As for the GTS-R? The Viper has nothing on this limited edition HSV. Although the cars name is not officially known, it's thought to be "GTS-R" or possibly "GTS-R 427"
Basically it's a super saloon with the 7.0 litre engine and gearbox from the current 'Vette.
The bad news is we have to wait until October for it. It may well never make it to your part of the world or the UK! That's a bugger...
If your interested...
www.hsv.com.au You won't see any Dodge's there
However, last time I checked, there was no word on the website. Not yet anyway... They are building this thing to celebrate HSV's 20th Anniversary.
Whether it's to you tastes Jay, I don't know mate... But as a concept, It's very respectable, especially since it will be a lot cheaper than an M5.
Note to Craig: Buy one! I know "I just want one"
