2004 HSV Clubsport R8 review from Australia and New Zealand
"A superb racing machine"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had no problems with this car at all.
General comments?
I have had five HSVs and this is the best by a country mile, and that includes a VT GTS. The car is better then having a wive. Not only does it look awesome, the power and handling are superb. If you are looking for a car to attract attention this is the baby. I have only owned it for a month and I cannot fault it.
