That surprised me too. Most manufacturers are turning down the torque outputs of engines on manual versions as the clutches can't handle it.

Cheers mate, just an attempt at some humour ........         Can't believe I was right .. :)

I don't believe that you were right.

 

That HQ coupe has front guard flutes, so is more than likely a GTS, or even a GTS 350.

 

When Byron says Monaro, he is referring to a base Monaro, not a GTS.

Fixed it ;)


It will only be available with a manual gearbox because the engine has too much power for the type of gay daisy chain that prefers an automatic or simply cannot drive a stick shift.

I read yesterday that only 40% of Victorian 18 year olds even have a licence!

 

From the SV5000 on, HSV have claimed that it is the manual that couldn't handle the big torque motors. I hope the mention of gearboxes in the above article isn't a typo.  It would be an insult to the Aussie public for it to be auto only.
