Simple observation.

Other than the $150k++ W427 no HSV has gotten even close to FPV performance for over 5 years for more money.

Right now the slowest FPV is quicker than the fastest HSV (and $30k cheaper).

Why does HSV outsell FPV?
Brand loyalty.

Holden didn't walk away from their V8 customers in 1983 like Ford did. Their (Holdens) persistance and sticking with the V8 has got them (and HSV) where they are today.
