Im a memember of this so called 'team grandpa' and only 21 yrs old. I have only had mine for about 3 months, and dont 4500K since new, no problems to date, although I have it booked in for an LSD, I think its dumb they dont do it from new, and which that much twist, the single legged variant frys tyres like there going out of fashion! The brakes, whilist not a big as the FPV's they are infinetly better than BA/ BF models. I would imagine the only thing you will like about your old car, it the repayments being cheaper! You wont regret your choice, the new G6Et's whilst not having the V8 growl, you leave VE HSV's for dead for 30K less!
