Supercharged HSV? - Part 4

[macca_779]

320 stock 350 tuned is what the video is about. Don't read into it to much. Let's see what the reputable shops do with them

one brand new set of tyres gone there !! haaha awesome

[seedyrom]

For sale.

Demonstrator kilometres only.

[GTS LSA]

Low km, only driven to the shops and back



How good would it be to get to do a few laps there...

I have seen it posted on the Ford forum, I think the point is that it only made 350rwkw after the tune.

I assume that is to belittle the LSA. That's a bit like having 300mm in your gentleman's area, not much point if you can't use it all!

There were a few people slagging the GTS, but most of the lads had a healthy respect for the GTS. Those that were slagging, have gone a bit quiet since seeing some of the other dyno runs, and 1/4 mile times, especially the tuned GTS running the 10.95...

Yeah , That would be sweet to get on the track and flog it like that. I would say they are built to take it....just wouldnt like to be paying for tyres.

I dont see the point of driving like that doesnt do any thing for me. Ive done quiet a bit of rally driving so not at against a bit of fun and games but drifting around a track like that cant see the point besides wasting tyres. It doesn't take any skill either on a circuit.

[GTS LSA]

^ yeah I am the same, I would love to drive around the track though, cant say I am into drifting... i would be trying to improve my PB lap time and working out the best lines and brake markers etc

[Drizt]

just because!

[offshore]

It probably impresses the school boys maybe not the girls though

[07L98SS]

Dare say if I had one I couldnt bring myself to thrashing it either. Maybe if the tyres were finished for a couple of corners. It would be good to see how fast a lap your could get with the traction,stability on and with all the driving aids turned off.

[Vulture]

This car has exhuast, tune and pulley AFAIK.

[GTS LSA]

Well the beast is home.... cant really report much yet, I put it straight into Performance mode and the Auto to Sport and away I went ...

Done all of 60km... but very smooth, very linear and brakes feel solid... haven't tried throwing it about yet still getting used to my line of sight from seating position and will play around with all the gadgets on the weekend. (Love that I can just dial in Wakefield and can go run laps and EDI does all the data for me...)

Dropping off 9.30 for 3M tomorrow then will take it for a decent run on weekend if get a chance, prior to detail and tint Tue then if the weather is fair I will try to get a few photos up if i can remember how to do it and my photobucket is still active

Dealer had mine, 2 whites and a Prussian Steele... to go out this week, the steele looks to have an almost greeny tinge to it, at least under the carport at the dealer

Anyway I like the blue, looks much better in Sun than overcast though
