I had the HSV Grange (its really quick) and was looking to update to the 2007 model . Which was just to late. I am driving the 2004 Caprice lwb until my SRT arrives.

You should have the Caprice lwb available in Dubai, is it called something different?. That photo is not similar to the Caprice model in Australia. . It looks like a commodore SS...

Anyway...

The Caprice has its acceleration limited by the luxuary transmission mode or plush as its described and its weight. You would get whipped by a 300C !!

Apart from the speed. You would find the Caprice (aussie version) to have a softer ride associated with the long wheel base and more of a driver/limo setup. As with brakes, transmission exhaust etc .. The Caprice has a 75 litre fuel tank and seemingly better fuel economy and a good towing ability. The LWB will make friends with those in the back seat as will luggage storage if you have a wife that travels like mine. The sound system is impressive as is the Sat Nav and DVD installation should you have those as options. Its a true luxuary vehicle.

You will have access to the 6.0 litre LS2 motor I understand. If its in the HSV format its impressive at 297+Kw. It is in the 5.0s (0-100Klms) for the short wheel base versions I'm told.
