It never computes for me, when people say i could buy X car and mod it and blow the doors off Y car. That can be done with a datsun or corolla too. Regardless, spend 50k on an SSV, add blower, fuel mods, brakes, suspension, intercooler, exhaust, and anything else that requires beefing up and you're soon pushing 75k... An extra 20k for a factory warranted car, engineered that way from the start ain't too bad... In several years, the 95k GTS will still fetch GTS money, but the SS with 20 odd thousand on it will still fetch SS money (for the most part)...
I do agree, but I guess what some are saying is that if the new Commodore has a LS3 better suspension, bimodal exhaust etc etc is there enough of a gap to justify a Clubsport for instance? The GTS will always be in a league of its own with its configuration.....About time I may add the VE GTS had little Extra over the R8..
