For a billion Dollars it'd wanna look half decent, well, as far as a holden is concerned anyway.

best racing car todd has driven.
well in that case its time for an adjustment, because we wont have parity. its should be about the same and if anything it should be worse, because there is still opportunities to improve it |

Maybe its just the paint job but the car looks a LOT wider than the current VZ...

The flared wheel arches certainly look better on the Supercar than they do on the base model road commodore.
Without big alloy wheels and body kit it just doens't look right on the road car to me. |

i like the GTS the best of all the Holden/HSV road going cars,but i like the Supercar VE the best of every VE.
maybe a return of the 'dayglow red' at HRT would love to see that the dayglow VK is definatly my favourite car so i would like to see a return of the 'Day Glow red'. |

Don't forget there is a daggy VE line template floating about in the fantasy forum.
I guess there are probably some proper 3D models about the place now. They way they painted it, they made it a lot like a VZ. |

Yeah, the flared guards and the day glo orange reminds me of the late Peter Brock sliding his VK Commodore around Mount Panorama

The rear of the body looks funny, makes the rear wheels look half the size of the front ones.

It's basically a VZ with VE styling features.
Very sad that V8Supercars is just another sillouette version of NASCAR. I'm worried I might lose interest in the sport completely... I don't care who wins anymore and I've been as hardcore as anybody as far as V8 motorsport is concerned. But I digress... |

Maybe I am biased, but I think it looks bloody awesome.
And if the car looks wider, its because it is. Its a clever design in that from a distance, the car looks smaller in some places. But you put it next to a VY/VZ and you can spot it straight away. My VE takes more width of the car park than my previous VY. |
