Wasn't thinking of performance just styling. If it's not fast enough either one would mod up well I'm sure!

Actually reading thorough the list of features (not just electronic wankery) there's a fair bit of rather awesome stuff in the GTS. I'm actually rather curious to drive one...not to mention I'd love to know how strong the driveline is. I know if I mod my GT I'll need to do diff bushes, diff centre, tailshaft...then it'll still clunk and bang like a mofo. I don't know enough about the VF to know if they have any similar issues or if the GTS's driveline is pretty much bulletproof and quiet with the 9 inch diff etc. Coz if you don't need to touch the driveline then, hypothetically, if I bought a GTS I'd be on par price wise by the time I've upgraded the driveline on the GT...hmm

Only just stumbled upon this thread..

I can't comment on the vf Gts with the lsa, but I've driven afew 08-09 clubbys recently and a Maloo.. Over all beautiful cars and imo well in front of the Falcons of the same year models, in styling, interior, and driving experience... Plus You gotta love the note of a healthy pushrod 8

A mate bought a maloo, manual with a 3" catback.. He ran a 13.1@107... We then installed a second hand OTR and I done a MAFless street tune on it, he went back and ran a 12.6@112.. Yes f6's have run that standard, but I was impressed and it was a heap of fun to drive while tuning!!

We will be camming it shortly

Nice! I've seen some impressive numbers from them, although I've heard of people having clutch issues and have had to spend a few $k on a clutch? Plus fuel system? 15k later

Already bought it haha... Full kit from VCM with my trade price was $1040 delivered... Cam, pushrods, dual valve springs, retainers, collets, roll master timing chain and steel gears, arp balancer bolt

I'll install/tune it so no labour, plus I get to learn
