Bit like the hoons out this way, except he didnt run into the gutter.

Cant really see the fun in it, especially if you have to pay for the tyres.

I thought he was better than that.

Can't argue with that. HSV understand their target market.

Obviously I wasnt targetted.

Thrashing a car like that especially when just started up doesn't impress me. Who would want to buy that car afterwards?

Relax a little. Your trying to apply logic and reason where it's not required...It's many a HSV/FPV owners fantasy.Your in a HSV owned high powered V8 toy that you're being paid by them to demonstrate how to push it to the limits while having some tyre smoking fun in the process. I'd probably never treat my own car like that but if FPV paid me to drive like that in one of theirs, I wouldn't be arguing with them!

By the way your assuming that car was cold. I highly doubt that. The LS1's particularly need to be at full thottle before they sound good.

Maybe someone at FPV could see that video...
They might understand what "performance" driving is.

Body Roll? Under steer? My friend you have never driven a HSV. Try putting your own car into sharp corners at over 150kph, and the camera guy inside leaning all over the shot doesn't help.

That really is an awesome Vid, and you were right about getting great just after the 3/4. Love the part where he flings it around backwards then lights them up again going forwards, go the LS1.
