If anything it'll probably be an SS tarted up with all the WP parts that they'll sell through dealers, judging by the 3rd pic.

That's just because that spoiler comes right down to the top of the lights.
Because it's a Walkinshaw.
Yeah he's got a history for plonking stupid looking things on the bonnet of Holdens - must be in revenge for the cricket results

Thats already been done. You might not have seen them but a few VY's have already had the bulges grafted straight onto the bonnets, and theres a few AU's with them too. I personally prefer the XB-XC rally bonnet bulge

While the bulge looks pretty cool i dont see why you would put it on a car that doesnt need it?
And yes the scoop they had on the XC (first 30 bathurst model) was awsome.

Last pic they look different slightly then the normal HSV ones.

That's just a VL bonnet stuck on a modern car to make it look like it was made in 1987:p..

Iseen something like that in the central coast nsw it had walkinshaw stickers on it and it was green.But it looked as if it was a standard v8 ss,but rims in tires were 20 inch. It sounded good for a normal v8 but it might have had factory system on it to shut it up.But there was no sign of blower noise comming out of engine area. It looked just like the photos you have if i see it again il grab a photo on my phone.But to me it look like a walkie.Then again it could have been a good look a like, but the walkinshaw stickers are not like the ones on the old vl walki, and that bonnet that looks like a BA FORD bulge is what made me look twice. Hope to solve this soon;)
