But even then you'd wait until after you correct the little episode of oversteer on a corner before changing tunes...that's when the bogan would be checking out how many Gs he's pulling on his little display.

Mumsy has the touchscreen headunit in her 300c SRT8, and it hugely distracting, when your trying to flick through songs looking for something decent, your eyes are off the road for ages.

Hers has the G and speed meter thing between the tachos, but visible above the speedo, and holds peaks so you can check yohttp://www.a-m-c.com.au/SessionTimes/?LID=FRAur quater mile or peak braking/ turning Gs when it's safe.

Reader votes on that article show a 64% vs 36% win (2227 votes) towards owning the FPV GT over the HSV GTS. Sounds good, I should see a few Miamis on the roads :)

An auto GT was tested but not on a drag strip :(

Still waiting!!!

Glad you mentioned the Motor magazines comparisons, The latest December Motor magazine issue, FPV GT335 run 13.24@182.25km/h vs HSV GTS 13.76@169.27km/h same day, same conditions!

Drove a new E3 GTS 325 on the weekend and I must say the tricks that thing has are amazing. Little tweaks can be made to the way the car rides all thorugh the touch screen as well as a wireless iphone intergration for phone and music. Pretty cool stuff and I was extremely unhappy to climb back into my car where all I have to play with a and iPhone intergration cord lol.

I will say though for a 6.2l 325kw manual it didnt really excite me. It has go and I really shouldnt be comparing it to my car but for 90-100k fully loaded I would be dissapointed. I would never compare it to the big euros like an M3 or C63 but I would assume this is where HSV see their products competition. Maybe they should look a little closer to home :)

p.s The noise of the Bimodal at WOT and 5k+ is out of this world.... For a factory car made locally of course :P
