Don't forget the heatsoak issues the LS engines have in the Commodore, plenty of tests have shown oil temp go through the roof over a couple of laps around a track. Thats not to say F6 would be any better as Im not sure. Also not trying to take too much from the GTS as I would imagine they are a great bit of kit and definately wouldnt mind having one in the driveway

It's a real shame to see the GT not living up to it's name. Bring back the days of a big NA V8 stomping all over the Holdens. Those guys sure are living it at the moment, why cant we?

the new gts - looks cheap, tacky and probably satisfies the typical Holden fan.the first time I saw this car on the cover of a mag, I honestly thought it was a joke. And who cares if their v8 is better. If you are that concerned bolt on a kb. For less cash, I would rather own something with a better interior/exterior,(and probably quicker, the f6) up to date technology and a ford badge.

$15k, MRC, 20's and a badge. (Not that this is a dig at HSV. We're not immune from expensive badges either).

True, forgot the brakes and interior, but I'd figured lowered suspension (20mm sounds familiar) and firmer (adjustable) ride came standard with MRC.

Ok, cheers for that, Deech, 4Vman. The better suspension and bigger brakes would no doubt help the GTS get around a track faster than the Clubsport.

All VE1's had the same 4 pot brakes. Only now are the 6 pot brakes optional on VE2. |
