    Stock GTs have shown to be capable of high 12's. Thats nothing to sneeze at considering they have a tendency to not put all their power down that well

    Re: Supercharged HSV this year?....I say yes.

    My Stock F6 went a best of 12.33@112 stock, done about 30 passes, most were in the 12.4 bracket

    GT335 runs 12.5 all day long

    I would love to see the GTS get blown, competition is a great thing, if they had one when i bought the F6, might have been a different story

    Yeah and on the street where it seems to matter so much that we have 12sec cars these ones that run 12s on a prepped track will struggle to keep upto an amg or wrx or a 20 year old Datto for that matter

    The only thing that gets the r8 off the line in a hurry is the 275s on the back and it's standard. An lsa in it would struggle

    Yeah i agree, though the F6 wasnt too bad on the street, didnt get that much wheelspin, now that its modded its ridiculous, just cant get any power down, though it sure is fun trying lol

    All modded ones I've driven are useless on the street, especially autos. It is fun though holding a bit of steering lock through 3 gears, in a controlled environment of course

    Well well well..

    I'm calling no deal this year. A very unreliable source has told me VF and reviving the GTS-R moniker.

    Surely its time for you to get in on the act, the Cruze 1.4L iTi models might be right up your alley.

    Can get big brake kits from the states for them plus the guys over there are playing around with the sonics (barina) and again we are still behind the times here.

    Cruze needs some of the European magic that went into the calibra, turbo 4 awd Aussie built = win. Slap a HSV badge on it and the faithful will follow

    Apparently Walkinshaw are selling Irmscher upgrades for Barina's, Cruze's and Captiva stuff like body kits, lowering kits and rims they are also offering an ECU upgrade for the diesel Captiva as well I've been talking to them about getting it done to my Captiva.

    They are a desirable little performance car. I have always had a soft spot for performance Daewoos since the old 'Project Howler' blown Lanos in Fast Fours a decade ago. A strapping little device that was, add a Lacetti badge upgrade and it was complete

    Still think the turbo'd AWD Insignia would have gone well / would go well

    Was the Torana concept built on the Zeta platform or the previous model?
