MS8 Clubman and MS8 Streamliner

[eyebrows]

what do u guys reacon about the MS8 Clubman and MS8 Streamliner? i think their a step in the right direction but still need some more work before i classify it a revolutianry for holden (by that i mean needs more techy advancments that isn't that flash any more ie DOHC SVT etc). also do u think that holden should just stick to what they are good at? or should they broden their horizens. Im saying broden but again what do u think? ne way got an assignment due tomorrow that i need another couple of hundered words for so C ya.

why not broden, it cant hurt besides i think its good with the elfins cars with the holden engines but it should be a holden badge, and can ya buy em?

Technically theyre not Holdens, although Mike Simcoe was head of the styling and theyre LS-1's under the bonnet and Monaro wheels on it. Elfin are still selling them but considering the LS-1 is the smallest and lightest V8 available in the country why shouldnt they use it

Well to be perfectly honest a large 4 will probly complimet the car a lot better then a v8 of nearly any description....

Your joking. Why have a 4 when a 8 will fit?

As FPV said they are not Holdens. Simcoe heard that they were developing a new car and having some problems so he offered Holdens design people to help. The engine is a Chev motor also and has been used in a few different cars around the world.

i never did say my prefernce was a large 4 btw

[fpv_gtho]

a large 4 cylinder would appeal to different people than the MS8. those who want a 4 wheel bike would probably go for a classic Elfin with a 20V Toyota motor or maybe something force fed like an SR20, but those who want something like a modern versino of the inspiration behind the original AC Cobra will of course want a V8

[Falcon500]

Well the cars in general would appeal to only a few [eople all considering the starting price is 85k ill see if i can get a copy of the offical holden parts mag...it has infoon them...

[fpv_gtho]

well theyre not the only LS1 clubman out either...i think its the Lotus X7 comes with an LS1 as well for only $40K so thats practically half the asking price, plus i dont think im the only one who rathers the original styling. not to mention all the 4 cylinder versions on the market at upwards of about $20K
