Yeah, 280KW didn't sound right for a supercharged V6 made by holden. I guess Bobs right - Holdens target is the 'blokes' who drink 'VB' and think pig hunting is a sport... hahah jokes. No offense to any holden drivers...

I would be pretty surprised if they ever released one that puts out more than the 8s in the S pack or SS commodores, not because it couldnt be done, but it wouldnt go down well with thier kind of consumer.
