timetaker Donating Members 217 Member For: 14y 4m 8d Gender: Male Posted 10/10/12 09:43 AM Share Posted 10/10/12 09:43 AM The article suggests that the engine could come from the Camaro ZL1 which is about 1 sec faster to 100km/h than the GTS and GT335 although if Wheels magazine achieved a 4.5sec 0-100 with a manual Rspec an auto Rspec would most likely be very close to the ZL Camaro figure.Figures of over 400+kw and 700+nm were mentioned in the article,I don't believe that GMH will produce an "everyday" GTS with 400+ kw,unless there is a special edition,limited run of a GTS?http://www.goauto.com.au/mellor/mellor.nsf/story2/8CD650844F997820CA257A920018D550 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/82333-hsv-testing-supercharged-v8/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowfly Member 107 Member For: 19y 2m 9d Posted 10/10/12 02:09 PM Share Posted 10/10/12 02:09 PM How much would a HSV cost with over 400kw, might as well go buy an AMG. 2 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/82333-hsv-testing-supercharged-v8/#findComment-1307697 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellato Donating Members 2,713 Member For: 14y 6m 5d Posted 10/10/12 11:52 PM Share Posted 10/10/12 11:52 PM Agree with lowfly! HSV's are so ridiculously priced anyway for what you get, if they add another $10k or so to the price then people will start looking at second hand Merc's and BMW's. Well I would personally Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/82333-hsv-testing-supercharged-v8/#findComment-1307772 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmixr Donating Members 686 Member For: 14y 8m 5d Posted 11/10/12 07:38 AM Share Posted 11/10/12 07:38 AM Clubsports are good value at the moment. But in all honesty.. you get a hell of alot of car in the GTS. The whole dash computer thingy with all the read outs, magnetic suspension (MRC) guages.. etc . Ford still falls way short on this front. Yeah.. theyve got the grunt now.. but the rest is a bit average.HSV will come in hard Id say withy the power stakes.. and us ford guys will be left lanquishing. Its what they do.. and have done it for years.Outsider... yeah.. makes you wonder where its all going to stop?!!! can they just keep upping the power with every model? Or will Fords progress be haulted..abruptly with the end of the FG platform and HSV with the VE ?Modern classics in the making me thinks 2 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/82333-hsv-testing-supercharged-v8/#findComment-1307954 Share on other sites More sharing options...
