The entire HSV tuning arm is basically dedicated to doing that.
The consequence is that the cars aren't nearly as aggressively designed as say, a Dodge Charger, which was conceived from the get-go as a performance-oriented car.

Wouldn't it be nice if GM could do that here? They're all about global design now, so shouldn't we be benefiting from HSV's expertise?
