    Any feedback? I know it's early but everyone is interested to read your thoughts.

    Will do but don't have too many other angles of pics on my computer and mine is dirty ATM.

    I think 68LS1 needs to post some up

    yeah the side profile of the vf screams poverty pack im afraid.

    if it werent for the brakes/rims. it looks like a magna 380.

    Should be some more pics after the weekend but surely it is time for some more colours to be posted up? I was looking through my store of pics to see if there was anything I hadn't posted and saw the under car pics I took so XUV thanks again for the video, I was starting to think someone had got too excited around my GTS but it turns out to be data dots!



    I still love the W427 wheels.

    The rear wheels on the gts look huge in comparison.

    I didn't drive it today due mainly to weather, it goes to my detailer on Saturday, so don't want to get it any dirtier. I asked dealer not to wash it.

    Are Camaro brakes interchangeable with VF brakes? The Camaro thread going at the moment features the new Z/28 which has a carbon ceramic brake package. That would be a nice upgrade for the GTS.

    You are really very good at that. I agree. The W427 wheels would look good on the GTS.

    I had the W427 wheels on my E2. Don't ask. Pity they are a cast and not a forged wheel, very heavy. I have a front rim but no tyre so no test fits on the GTS. Oh and apologies for bastardising your photo.

    No, fantastic photoshoping... I'ts great to help visualize different things, like you've done previously with spoilers and stuff. Great work! Only wish I could do it...

    I have a complete W427 wheel and tyre (front - spare) from my written off W427. The insurer let me take it for the replacement car... After my shit trade in, I didn't feel inclined to put it in the boot when I did the change-over to the GTS. I'll eventually sell it, I guess, although I'd have no idea what it's worth. And you're right, it is bloody heavy...

    This photo highlights very well just how less aggressive the VF lines are - much softer and less in your face.
