PEACE OF MIND

ANY number of aftermarket suppliers can create a truck as tough as the HSV Colorado Sportscat – tougher, even. But we’re not aware of any that will hack the car’s electronics to recalibrate stability and traction controls, something HSV engineers did to the Sportscat.

The system not only accounts for the different suspension components but also the grip levels of the tyres; different traction control tunes, for example, have been created for low and high range. Plus, for the Sportscat+, there are brake upgrades, which have resulted in recalibrated ABS tunes.

That it all arrives with full ADR (Australian Design Rule) approval and factory warranty backup makes for peace of mind that it’s been thoroughly tested and validated for the vehicle.
