TODAYS update on the typhoon versus the hsv clubbie , i noticed today another article pegging these 2 cars together and doing a comparo only differance is this time they gave both cars a good wrap on performance characteristics only no mention of times what soever. i wonder what the problem is ? the only thing they said was that it is faster than a gt and the clubbie is faster than the typhoon .

Yeh I read it also, I thought it was a miss match comparo. as the clubie is a Targa spec car and the Typhoon is comfy daily driver with attitude. In all honesty what where these ******** thinking off when they conjured up the comparo.

The VE will not be built in Japan. If you bother reading the article properly you will see that a one off VE was made to test and approve the Japanese made tooling.

Seems to me it was a comparo of the new big guns from each company. I've driven that red rocket Typhoon, it hammers. Certainly an amazing machine!!! Leaves me back in my Focus wondering who changed my Premium unleaded to sour milk.... interesting to see what they REALLY think of the Commodore though. They'd fnag it but leave it, they'd fang the Typhoon AND keep it. So would I!!
