HSV have in fact actually gone the mile if you take a look at the spec sheet, 6.2L supercharged and inter-cooled engine, massive two piece brakes, 10 inch vectoring diff, MRC adj suspension, oil coolers, Bose stereo, great interior all for around 10k more than a GT-P is pretty good value imo.
I agree with what you're saying but I think its a little disingenious to be comparing the retail of one with the retail of the other seeing as anyone ordering a GTS will probably be paying retail or fairly close to retail price whereas it wouldn't be hard to get a huge discount on a MK2 GT-P.

I think you'll find the real price difference to those actually in the market looking at buying one of these two vehicles is more like $25,000- $30,000 and one has a wait list and other doesn't.
