Hi Matty,
The CSV Strada where different all right, but they can not be confused with a HSV.

Some would say that is a good thing. :thumbs up:

Very nice. Was good to see CSV tackling HSV to make them lift their game. Should be more of it.

yeh i would like to see more. but i think they have stopped at the vy. i got it cause it was different and should go up in value i hope. only around 70 of these were built. but csv is still doing performance.

I like it. Always liked the CSV's. Faster cars than HSV for less coin.

Peter Dichiera certainly knew how to get the most out of his cars. And the looks were great


I do admit I thought he had closed shop

I can't remember which of the Australian car magazines tested a CSV. They said of how they had never had a problem with reliability as compared with the HSV and Holden models.

I don't see how they came to that conclusion. It is the exact same car except a different body kit and a few other different things. Driveline wise, its the same.

[matty]

whats the specs on the standard vx hsv

[OMR346]

250kw. But the difference is in the tune and exhaust. They still use the same LS1 engine, same 4L60e transmission, same diff (maybe with different gearing), etc, etc.

[matty]

got the car going again. yahoo...good to be in a v8 again.

[matty]

might be getting rid of it. need to get another car suited for construction sites. im thinking of a hilux 4x4 to replace it. what do u guys think.

[OMR346]

I think you change your mind like I change my underwear :p

[matty]

lol if i were to get a good job i wouldnt really need to get rid of it. but yeah just need something more suited for the sites i cant keep taking the csv to construction sites i dont want to damage it and thats the industry i work in so i would need something else.
