Assuming it's similar transformation (my VX with the S/C ended up with c.540hp) then it's something to be experienced. Straightline performance was just stunning, it used to actually seriously frighten some of those who weren't used to it.
Back in 2001 0-100mph, in just under 10.0 secs was seriously quick, but where the HSV was really strong was in the 100-160 range. Above that wind resistance really kicked in and proper supercars with much lower drag and superior downforce came into their own.
Great fun, in what many people thought was just a modded Omega 
Rear tyres used to last me about 6k on average, with "normal" driving. Perfectly possible to trash them in a hour though and a track day would destroy a whole set.
I trust your's will be shod with Wintracs all year round  Bring back the SO2's I say.
