Seems like they're pushing the envelope with the 9-3 and the new
all-aluminum 247hp Holden V6.

Also adds 18" wheels, dual exhaust, stiffer rollbars, quicker steering,
bigger brakes...Linear and Arc get dropped from lineup.  Now just down to
the AeroI4 and AeroV6.

No longer the 'asymmetrical' turbo fed from only one exhaust bank. Fitting
a turbo from both banks of a V6 may be tricky since long piping will cool
the gasses?

It's only about half the amount of horsepower compared to this nice 9000:

Anyone who has more?
