discostig Manual mode ________________________ All day, erryday Donating Members 13,798 Member For: 16y 11m 22d Gender: Male Location: Probably above atmospheric pressure Posted 02/08/13 11:12 AM Share Posted 02/08/13 11:12 AM (edited) Good reading about the track performance. Interesting torque vectoring system as it mentions that you need to be on the go pedal for it to work helping reduce understeer, if braking it won't give any benefit. Would enjoy a drive around a track in one and then compare it to my XR6T. The BF weighs less but my suspension is the softer side of after market and rims are way skinnier.

A lot better in the flesh.I am in both camps, like both my Ford, and HSV. I like looking at any new product, regardless of make.My favorite car of mine is still my $5,000 Toyota Soarer.ive taking the hat off but I never I didnt like them..well I dont like the ass end but not coz its a Expensive Daewoo as I too have owned more holdens/hsv's then I have fords/fpv's..ive seen these cars in the flesh and from the front look nice,interior is also pretty,the calais is the nicest imo but like I said,shouldnt we compare the clubby's etc to our range of cars as the gts is scarce and probably all collectors have purchased them? asking a question?who gives a rats ass.hahaha true dat!

So to clarify, I am interested in seeing what owners will actually run which is usually in between the two If I had my own G-Tech maybe I could compare my results against the magazines as I understand this is how they time, which shows slower times than a drag strip thanks to roll out?

Pazzo Donating Members 11,132 Member For: 14y 25d Gender: Male Posted 02/08/13 08:26 PM Share Posted 02/08/13 08:26 PM This car is not just about the Qtr mile time... This car is track orientated.. Around a race track I think most FPVs will be seeing its arse end..The guys who buy a HSV you will mainly see them at track days than the local drag strip.. You really have to go look and drive one to appreciate what HSV have done..Unlike FPV who just slapped 5.0ltr into a engine bay and sent it out the door this car is well in front of FPV. Remember you are buying the TOTAL package . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timetaker Donating Members 217 Member For: 13y 11m Gender: Male Posted 03/08/13 07:22 AM Author Share Posted 03/08/13 07:22 AM The GTS will be faster than the GT335 Rspec,but I'm more interested how it will compare with the Audi RS6, M5/6, AMG C63 etc.They are the cars, according to GMH, the GTS is targeting.
