OMFG....new VF GTS!!!!!!!
Talk about hitting the ball out of the ballpark!!!
430kw_740Nm 6.2 supercharged LSA Gen 4.... 9.9inch Diff...brakes are 6 pot 390mm-Fronts 372mm rears to stop you!! 6 speed box and with more goodies to poke a stick at in an absolute blinder of a car,as they say a game changer!! Could not fault the car.... I'll keep the $$$$$$$$$ in my pocket that could have gone to an M series or AMG ,seriously I reckon HSV have nailed both these cars to the back seat!! If you get a chance go in and have a gander!!!:cool: |
The new HSV GTS is an awesome performance car but HSV need to sort out a few QA issues like colour matching bumpers.
Also HSV had want to make sure that the Holden Service Centres are up the the task of maintaining these High Performance Vehicles. Believe me they struggle with a basic Oil change. http://i1081.photobucket.com/albums/...psd7b6e4da.jpg |
Hmmm wonder who the rocket scientist was that put THAT car on display.
You wouldn't exactly say it bodes well Quality wise would you %/ |

Never ever take your car to a HSV dealership!!! Previously ....never had good dealings with 3 different dealerships down here!! And you would post a pick of one of the worst colours!!!%/ HERON WHITE ONLY PLEASE!!! Seriously the GTS today was in my eyes faultless!!!...I got a great one!! |
Ah you bought one?!? Kindly disregard my taxi comment then... :)
|
NO... havent sold the house yet and dont want a 3rd divorce but we are close to pen on paper.....even changed the dealer order for a red auto to a heron manual to try a get me then and there but no deal!!

Aaah! we're back to two tone again:LOL:
|
Hey Ozcobra, you still got the GTS Coupe?
|
Makes you feel proud to be an Aussie. :)
That new GTS is a superb piece of engineering. And anything with over 700Nm of torque gets my attention. |

Those Taxi drivers would have it a long way up a tree on its first shift. Besides i quite like the 5.2 Litres per 100 km not 5.0 km per Litre. The Cobra option is very sensible Cheers Brad |
I've driven a VF Clubsport, absolutely totally impressed with the road feel etc, beautiful car.
Best Commodore to date, after being a HOLDEN technician for 32 years, (Gold Certified). Can't wait to drive a GTS. |

I guess the only visual negative when I think about it was the actual paint finish I'd be taking the car straight to someone like Damien Angelucci to be Colour corrected really not a fan off the orange peel look!!
|
The steering wheel is on the wrong side...;)
|
Stand on your head!!! :LOL:

Since you were wondering...At the dragstrip: HSV GTS v AMG E63 S :o |
You would burn the purchase price of the GTS in 18 months if you bought the E63....
It's interesting that the standard VF SS utes time at the Norburgring (8:19) is only 6 seconds slower (8:13) than the C63 AMG... |

Until you've driven both??...... I reckon the GTS is the winner all round!! :3DSMILE: |
Agree.
You can buy TWO GTSs, and still have $50k left over. One is the latest fastest toughest Holden EVER built, and the other looks like all the other wanna-bee Merc drivers. What Merc driver would ever really drive it hard anyhow? VF GTS with 430kw from factory? How long before they get 600kw? Remember the start of LS1 in Australia, we had 225kw, current tuners can get about 70% over that. |
