Given neither driver has a weight disadvantage or dusty launch technique, on paper the HSV GTS would outperform a Stock T. If you even check 0-60km/hr figures, that would be the case too as I recall, because that "Expensive Daewoo Special" Motor issue earlier this year compared HSV GTS with an M3 and AMG 55 and showed a range of acceleration figures. Edited: Updated with Motor magazine numbers.Safe and happy driving...Dr Z. Just be minful that these times are done with good drivers having optimum starts. It s quite understandable that the T could have wasted the GTS cause the driver of the GTS probably finished perfroming a by pass operation and was tired and doesnt know how to drive but wants to look good. I do agree they are a beautiful looking coupe and a drive in the new Coupe 4 would be nice.

Just wondering why you bought a Falcon if the Monaro is better?Just curious? I personally don't like the look of any of them, especially the new one with the twin bonnet scoops ... incredibly ugly ... I think the XR's look better, and most definitely the GT, etc.I do like to see other points of view though, but trying to get serious Ford enthusiests like myself (and many others here) to agree that the opposition has a better looking car, etc is a futile exercise :lol: But interesting debate none the less Cheers, Jason.

doublek Member 333 Member For: 20y 11m 22d Location: sydney Posted 29/07/04 04:08 AM Share Posted 29/07/04 04:08 AM I drive a 1996 hsv senator. what made you think I bought a falcon.I was on these forums a while back when I was selling my hsv and I was tossing up between the xr6t and the ss. I eventually decided to keep my car, but I do think that the xr6t may be ahead of the ss.I also considered a black gts coupe which was going really cheap and I absolutely fell in love with the car but I just could not sell my hsv.anyway enough about me. enjoy your t's boys because I would love to own one.

Guest coltyu. Guests Posted 29/07/04 07:12 AM Share Posted 29/07/04 07:12 AM I think when you register it asks you what car you have. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/11977-hsv-losses/page/6/#findComment-148240 Share on other sites More sharing options...
