Bellato Donating Members 2,713 Member For: 14y 22d Posted 15/05/13 01:27 AM Share Posted 15/05/13 01:27 AM I reckon it looks pretty tough.Check out the specs on the GTS though. 430kw supercharged 6.2L, Brake package is massive and technology is definitely top notch.Interesting to see what Ford does., will they do what Expensive Daewoo did and just release like a GT-F or something that has 400+kw and the rest stay the same or what. Just seems like 430kw is a bit much of a jump from what they had.In about 12-15 years holden's gone from 255 in their clubsport to 430, so come 2030 I'm expecting at least 600-700kw standard lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellato Donating Members 2,713 Member For: 14y 22d Posted 15/05/13 05:26 AM Share Posted 15/05/13 05:26 AM Estimating under $100k. Even if it just scrapes in it's still not bad when you think about it, there's a lot of good bits that come with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samcaula13 Member 17 Member For: 12y 2m 11d Posted 15/05/13 06:00 AM Share Posted 15/05/13 06:00 AM I guess we'll have to wait for final pricing - but assuming it comes in under $100k (it almost certainly will given some of the Holden/HSV responses regarding pricing across the range).. it's ridiculous value for money. Everything performance wise - is excellent.As for the styling - the rear is questionable... but I thought the VE HSV's looked awful in pictures too. While I don't think they look fantastic now - they certainly look a lot better in person - mostly due to an aggressive stance. So I'll wait until I see one in person before I pass judgement. I'm a big fan of the wheels and spoiler though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise white looks good, rear looks sh*t. Good value for money but yeah design doesn't flow since its copy paste and some chop from the US version.
