It would kill anything that you drive,  that is a certainty.

I have to dispute that claim. In the December WHEELS mag, CSV had there
427 powered Commodore, 400kw. It's based on the HSV GTS. Unless there
gearing is different, I'd say a 400kw Commodore should be faster than
one with only 370kw. CSV has full manufacturer compliance, The same as HSV.

Actually, if you want to be picky and it seams that you are being for the
sake of it I shall be also :)

HSV redeveloped a dry sump system oil cooler with a 2 stage pump that takes
8L of oil in a is a much better setup than the CSV version behind the
headlight custom setup

HSV's new version is a lighter package and has a new exhaust setup, the CSV
version translates to about 400hp and is only available with automatic
gearbox, the redeveloped HSV version is over 500hp at the rears matched with
a all new 6spd manual and a new clutch, HSV also have updated the brakes to
match the output and is not only faster than the CSV version it brakes
better also making it quicker and safer.

HSV version tops over 300km/ph, the CSV is restricted to about 250, HSV also
slammed Wheels mag for exaggerating the 400kw CSV version of the car.
