Gt R-Spec has been out for awhile compared to the GTS. If Ford was going to continue of with the falcon, I'm sure they would come back with an aggressive answer... wouldn't a twin turbo V8 be nice ;) haha

Dumb ass can say all he likes about the GT (interestly he is driving the GT whilst he tells us all that the GTS talks to him better- suggest if that was so, shouldnt he have been in the GTS whilst making those claims?). The GTS is a fine car, , but the this GT mine , and I not going to be jumping ship any time soon !! GT maybe behind in kw and torque , but just look at the two through the twisty bits along the GOR and I still say with the note from the exhaust and especially the supercharger I would rather be in the GT .. The again what else would I say !!!

I may be slightly bias but if the GTS is that good, write up a comparrison selling the GTS. Dont hang sh*t on the Ford making the GTS just better in comparrison. Also doing it in the wet is less than ideal and as he said, the GT was not driven to its full potential.and in the drag race clearly hits the brakes.

There is a far better more neutral comparrion between the GTS and a AMG. Funnily alot of the GTS faults in that video are the Pros in this video. I am sure the GTS will be a great car. Essentially whats not to like, massive SC V8, massive brakes, heaps of tech and adjustable suspesion, it just wears the wrong badge. Its a new generation model with a heap of money thrown at the whole develpment whereas the GT is the last of the FGs already on a shoestring and is close to making way for a new model. For me though it has not lived up to the hype surrounding its release. None of the reviews have matched HSVs "claimed" figures which in themselves were a little average after they were talking the car up. 4.4s to 100 is not comfortably faster the 4.5s like they were quoting. These cars on the numbers (apart from price, my GT was $72k) are going to be much closer to each other than HSV would like. They have after all shunned FPV and discarded them as a rival. Although it is just another figure, Wheels tested the Rspec with a 4.5s sprint to 100 and a 1/4mile of 12.6s. When they tested the GTS its was slower across both. Bragging rights still remain with the RSpec for now. Unfortunately that's about it.
