2019 Holden Colorado review: V8 Harrop Superado

FULL STORY: www.caradvice....
Unfortunately, the legendary and ubiquitous Aussie V8 ute has been assigned to the history books for some time now.
Those wanting one will be trawling through second-handers instead of showroom floors, as the market has pivoted towards the 4X4 ute.
One option is a tuned Holden Colorado by engineering outfit #Harrop, who call their car the #Superado.
Sam Purcell finds out what it is like to drive.

    Check out the dizzying 4500rpm redline on the tach at 3:40, surely that isn’t representative of the engine fitted to this vehicle? Maybe get the Dymo labeller out and stick some new numbers on the dash.

    Here is what I know Slap a Mallett Blower and 3 inch Cat Back exhaust on a 3.6l VVT from 2018 and put 435hp@5000rpm to floor board. I know. Crazy! I built the only (Sleeper) Colorado in ALBERTA. I have way too many V-8 drivers shaking the angry fist as I go from 120km to 252km on the Highway.

    Why the fudge is this truck making NO POWER still? You dropped a 6.2 Liter GM motor in it WITH A SUPERCHARGER? In America, I can buy a crate Ls3 from GM NATURALLY aspirated making anywhere from 480 to 515 horsepower at the crank and that's for 8 grand. When you put a supercharger on a 6.2 Chevy motor, I don't care which way you measure... at the crank, at the wheel, newton meters, etc... the dang truck should have WAAAAY more power. You can bolt on a centrifugal supercharger on any 6.2 Liter Chevy motor WITHOUT A TUNE... and get BETTER NUMBERS... With a tune, 6.2 Liter GM SUPERCHARGED can go into the 1000 hp range. This is just my opinion with my little 2 year Auto Tech degree, and love for Chevrolet. So if somebody want to explain to me why these people are charging lambo money for a UTE that's loaded with options that have NO capabilities?? Why did I just purchase a 6.2 Liter Trail Boss Silverado FULL SIZE without a supercharger and I'm making the same dang power at the crank STOCK as this 100k Tonka toy?? Someone please explain to the ignorant American chevy boy... thank you.

    @@dillydoopsta6090 The Colorado is a small ute. Putting a Duramax V8 in the front, which would weigh probably 300kg more than the factory 4 cyl would take at least 300kg OFF the GVM and therefore off the load capacity. WTF use is a "work horse" that can't carry more than around 350-400kg of cargo? Not to mention that it would rip CVs apart in the blink of an eye due to way too much torque for the rig. There is such a thing as too much power.
