What a funny statement man,a f6 in the real world owns.Well il put it this way dude i live in the real world and i own a vz clubbie.I work in the mines so i am able to lease hsv's all the time getting a fleet discount and not paying any gst on the vehicle.To put it bluntley im sic im smashing f6 typhoons on the open highway.Most of u ppl go down to the paper shop and buy the latest wheels or motor mags and what ever they say it must be true LoL!!!
Theres not to much in it from 0 to 100 but from there the clubbie walks away and from 160 to what ever speed the f6 does the clubbie wins by i would say 30 car lenghts.So there u have it in the real world. Orded a new gts to on lease 67k

Nice joke... and it's not even April 1st..

Thats my thoughts exactly. BTW, hope you were doing 260 on a non-public road lethal.

HSV have made the headlines on edmunds.
I reckon the Yanks would be creaming themselves for these cars.
The price conversion is interesting.
Bugger, I'm trying to put the link up but it says,"Your post count must be 10 or greater, your current post count is 75. Please remove links from your message, then you will be able to submit your post."
WTF?
Anyway,

You'll see it there, meanwhile, I'll delete the link.

[VE Turbo]

Yeah Mate,
It's a great site, I love how they flog the cars at the old runway in their video section.

Not sure if this has been mentioned, browsing the brochure last night I noticed that all HSVs get a full size alloy spare standard ... the size of the front of course.

About bloody time

When i got the VZ clubbie i ordered a full spare. It came with a 'non-HSV' tyre i.e not a directional Yokohama but some brand that has now skipped my mind. That allowed the spare to go on any of the 4 wheels.

Given the front and rears on the HSV are now different sizes can you run your front sized spare on the rear ? Are there any issues with doing this ? I know a lot of other performance cars have different sizes front to rear but most of them these days seem to have space savers/run flats and not full size spares.

The photographer who captured the images of the GTS for Wheels (Easton Chang) has kindly allowed us access to his copies of the images (as well as some unpublished ones) to post them in good quality ... enjoy them.
Feel free to look at some of his other work at www.eastonchang.com and www.wallpapergarage.com (great site!).

Thanks Easton!
