Excuse the shitty iPhone images, but I just took delivery of a 2013 Holden SS-V Redline with a Walkinshaw WP310 package.

Walkinshaw has put in new headers and exhaust, an ECU remap putting it at 310kw (415hp), up from the stock 270kw, and 580Nm (420 ft lb) of torque up from 530 Nm.

I've put just shy of 100 km on the clock driving it home. First impressions are that it's a great evolution on the 2012 model which I had. Road noise is way down, steering is sharper, and the transmission no longer sounds like changing gears in a truck.

More detailed write up to come soon. It was pouring rain so I didn't want to risk running it in competition mode or using the launch control just yet.

So what you are looking at is essentially the Chevy SS, with one major difference, as shown in the below image.

It's manual.

If I had the SS, I'd do a badge swap, just to mess with people.

Very, very nice, congrats! God I can't wait to have a decent car... The body roll on the off ramp and lack of passing power is disappointing in my DD.

You, sir, have made me jealous. I hope this is an invitation for all of us to come over for free rides.

Hi.

As a Canadian (read: North American) customer, just allow me to extend to you a middle finger and a hearty, "Fuck you!"

I approve. Can't wait to read more.

You mean you say you have the Chevy SS with the, "Never Available to Americans," option package? I hate you. I hate you so much.

Ok, I actually have a manual, so I can't hate you too much, but I do hate you more than I should for the fact that you have 415 hp, and I have less.

I'm seeing a few of the Walkinshaw ones around, they seem to be selling quite well... Good to see you went with the stick :)

Where have all the lightweights gone? > JustWaitingForAMate 10/03/2013 at 07:03

It sounds like you brought the power to US ratings. I'm excited to hear how the car is for you. I'm planning on getting one sometime next year when they come out.

I buy these because I can't have a Camaro. We designed it, we built the first ones. Yet, they aren't for sale here. Figure that out.
