HSV have just released their latest model the GXP and it is aimed at an entry level HSV for the weekend racer. A cheaper alternative with the basic Commodore tail lights for example to keep the costs down.
When I first heard about this car it sounded like a great concept, but then the more information I read about it, more boring it sounded. You buy a HSV because you either you want something unique or you want real race inspired performance. All this car seems to be is a unique car, built for the masses.
If you are going to take stuff out of a car, then at least strip some weight out! My impression of a true club level racer is something that has all the non essentials taken out, chuck in a roll cage, some harnesses, bonnet pins and tighten it up some more.
Perfect examples; 911 GT3 RS, Renault Megane R26R, Aston Martin
Come on HSV, bring out a real Club-Sport!
