jimmixr Donating Members 686 Member For: 14y 5m 11d Posted 09/04/12 06:17 AM Share Posted 09/04/12 06:17 AM At the end of that tube there was another tube with the same tuner. He said the stock GTS pulled 268kws.. He then went on to do exhaust, air intake and tune. Finished up with 303rwkw. That seems more like it. I wouldnt underestimate the HSV's...They are a great car to drive.. fat midrange and predictable power. Turbos may have the advantage but their on/off nature can get frustrating at times.And we mustnt forget.. if it wasnt for the efforts of holden/HSV over the years.. it kept Ford on their toes .. even from all the way back to 82 when it dropped the mighty cleavland..in my eyes.. it wasnt really till the Miami came along that ford was finally back in the raceNot discrediting the mighty F6.. but theyre not V8's at the end of the day...So if your mate wants a HSV he wont be dissapointed.. because for some its not all about 400m sprints ..but more the bits in the middle.And rest assured.. Expensive Daewoo will have ford up against the ropes when it released their S/C variant in the not so distant future. Now thatll be a stouch worth watching!!Cheers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
