I mean that's 996 911 turbo fast.

Dont thinks so!

The times guys are getting from Auto F6's, stock would be as quick, so it's deffinatly possible. The F6 is a couple of hundred kilos heavier, and has 30kw less, so why not??

Didnt the VE SS do 0-100 in 5.3??? and you would think with an extra 35kw's the GTS should do under 5 seconds. It seems that the new Commodores do awesome times when they're first tested but never matched in future tests which are nearly a full second slower. This really shows when they are raced at the track because the last time I went to Calder I saw a VZ R8 did 14.1@99mph in auto with a good start yet Motor have recorded terminal speeds as high as 108mph and as low as 100. Maybe the HSV's tested by Motor when they are first released are a lot faster than the ones driven in the real world. (nearly 10mph is a big HP difference)

Who knows but I'll be interested to see the results of the test in Motor.

GTS is quoted at doing 0-100 in 5.05 in auto form and 4.96 in manual form. that's some serious speed...

With the extra weight of the new VE Clubbie (1800kg I was told) I'd thought the times will suffer?

Rob... :omg:

Still doesn't worry me. I know how my car compares to a modded 996 Turbo :omg: Unless HSV have shaved hundreds of kilos from their lineup, I think their performance times are dubious at best.

The BF F6 auto Typhoon weighs in at 1760kgs with a full tank of fuel and 225-230rwkw stock, so a 1800kg HSV should struggle.

Well if these times are right I would hate to think how quick a new maloo ute would go (when they come out) being lighter then the sedan they could be quite a weapon. I think in any case I'll stick with ford the hsv's look disqusting to say the least, I can wait till the new ford comes out.

The new VE has much better weight balance allowing it to get more traction which I think is mainly responsible for the faster times. But I will wait to see an independent test to see how fast...
