I wouldn't buy a supecharged V8 when I could have similar power from a NA V8. Plus it is ugly as sin with all that red stuff on it, not that a HSV is much better with all the junk they fit to them! If I wanted a 300kW car i'd buy one of these, just not at the asking price:

My mate has a sedan version of this. He bought it really cheap as the engine was playing up. Got the engine rebuilt as the cam had disintegrated. Cost under $10k to get the engine done, on the dyno (engine dyno) to run it in, taking it easy as it was a new engine it put out around 330kW at way below maximum rpm. Basically the standard Calloway engine rebuilt with better cam, followers and springs. The car is lethal though, but at low rpm it is docile as a puppy. The GT would be the same too as a smaller engine with a blower on it.

Anyway, back to Blocker, although I don't like them as to me they are a w@nkers car, an Imprezza WRX is a great car for the $ as is a Lancer, and they are pretty cheap. Do you want a manual or auto?
