i doubt they mean a more powerful car than the 427, probably more like a power increase across the rest of the range

Re: 370kW LS7 Not Enough! HSV Power Play Not Over Just Yet

Well he either means a power increase in the rest of the range (ala LS3) or the LS9 is getting some showtime in Australia. Anyways. The W427 looks way better in Iszzy's pics. It is an absolutely amazing car. Restrained style but still aggressive, far superior to the M5 in restrained aggression. very nice. I prefer this sleek style to the crazy 5 foot tall spoiler with chrome spewing out of every oriface style that people thought HSV was going to adopt. The W427 is a feat in itself. One of the fastest 4-door cars in the world. How nice is it to say that!!! Finally, Australia hits back to Europe and American sports cars. This is the birth of HSV's international recognition as masters of design and engineering. Oh and by the way, although I adore the front end in those pics of it (not CGI stuff), I can't help bu think the front-end is missing something. I think the front bumper is missing a more hungry opening. I did a mod in Photoshop of the W427's front end which is what I think is more fitting for its performance and obviously whats under the bonnet. Although the mod I did is simple, it makes quite a difference. What do you guys reckon?
