Picked myself up a brand new 2009 LS3 HSV GTS, 6 Speed Manual (TR6060).
Build Date: 16/07/09.
Build No: 978
Wow! What a car. It's awesome to be back in a V8, and boy does it go! So far loving every bit of it! Just can't get enough of it yet, lol.
Hope you enjoy the pics. Better quality pics to follow soon once I get it detailed. It's already dirty after it got rained on the day I picked it up :(

i got a Black VT II R8 and a white VY clubby, when these come down a little i think the Vy's getting traded in!
very nice car, enjoy it!.....and try to keep the paint markless, lol, mine had a fresh black paint job done 3 months ago and it sits in garage and only really goes to work under the carport and still gets so many marks and it doesnt even get touched!.......im clueless!

Your neighbours house is awfully close to the fence you share.
You going to open the engine or leave it bolt on?
Im only guessing here but are you an accountant going by your plates? :lol:

Thanks for the kind words all! Still can't get rid of this big smile except for the brief moment after Geelong fluked a win against us yesterday! :vpo:
In terms of mods, the car doesn't really need much. The car is a pretty epic package as is. I think it will be a while yet before the performance bug hits me, it's got a huge amount of power!
Having said that. Mods in the short term might include walkinshaw suspension, wing removal and even tho the exhaust still sounds decent for a stocker, probably an upgrade to that mainly because the HSV tips are not very attractive to say the least and it doesn't hurt to have a bit more beef to the sound.
In the long term, quite possibly an audio upgrade. I don't have any plans for go fast bits just yet but will way up options when I get bored.
Any Dyno days coming soon? I'd be interested to see what this pulls stock.
PS. I work for the ATO, I might pay you a visit :jester:
Looking forward to it :P

F@#K Oath! Don't forget the much sexier and classier white dials/gauges! Was never a fan of the in your face red ones!
Maybe you run a business called "Tax Chat" - giving out financial advice.
Maybe :)
