Holden SS = $45000 AUD
Holden SS-V = $52000 AUD (the v has 19 inch wheels, leather interior, satnav)

All HSV has the same 307kw 6.0L V8 engine but with different equipment and trim levels

HSV Clubsport R8 = $62000 AUD
HSV GTS = $74000 AUD
HSV Senator = $76000 AUD

The Ford Falcon GT cost between $62000 to mid $70000 AUD while the Typhoon starts at $59000 AUD.

Personally the Typhoon is my favouriate. It accelerates just as quickly as the V8 cars. 0-100km/h in mid 5 secs, better overtaking ability, and it handles better because the engine is lighter.
Damn those muscle cars are cheap! Don't get me wrong, German cars are still my favourite, but if I'm on a budget and I want a fast car... I'll definitely will go for one of those! Petrol's cheap in Australia, yeah?

BTW, my dad and I test drove the 300C SRT-8... Man it was quick.
