Fair enough, with exceptions. The Dino was lovely too.

You would think that a logical move, for cost management.
An engine shows up in a box, gets plugged in, gets used til it is out of pre-determined life, gets unplugged, put back in its box, and back to KRE it goes, replaced by another one.
It makes all the Holdens as competitive engine-wise as one another. So rich teams can't outspend everyone else...

Standard start procedure, before anyone chimes in and whinges about all the noise.

Worth noting that they're not even close to 100% throttle, banging the rev limiter.

Not sure if the gearing suits the engine.. or the drivers were getting used to the revving nature of the engine, but there seemed to be a few fluffed changes...

And the Sandman didn't seem to be handling as well as a regular Commodore CotF...

Nothing quite like a V8 to be honest.
Sadly time waits for no one.

If it's the exact same engine as the ATS-V.R, it's really not bad.

Those Cadillacs wont ever be seen racing outside of the States as its basically a factory effort that pays lip service to possibly selling customers cars in the future. That will never happen.

That's what is in the ATS, the small sedan but the CTS-V has a 640HP version of the LT4.

Sorry for the imperial, I think that's 420ish kw.
