Without doubt one of the best HSV's ever made, the last generation VF GTS is a great platform offering big performance out of the box but also adapts well to bolt on modifications. Thanks to Justin for bringing down his example to our Springy Performance Dyno day.

Imo having a powerful car on the street is a lot safer than a low powered car because you're able to get overtakes done a lot faster and wider tires are so much safer offering more grip so overall it's a lot safer in all weather conditions and really powerful DBA T3 slotted rotors and quality brake pads are essential to have very good brakes and with how bad the drivers are these days they're essential so overall that's a really nice safe good performing car.

@@Low760 I see where you're coming from. However, back then, there was no "alright, we're only making X amount of vehicles, and that's it!", even with the mighty HOey, it was just whoever ticked that option box got what they ordered. As they said, win on Sunday, sell on Monday. 👍 Ever since HSV was incepted, it has ALWAYS done limited editions, every single year from the SV87. Walkinshaw, SV5000, etc. So it always has that sense of rarity, whereas the SS is like the GT. Even the VX GTS was numbered. I think the only models they DON'T number are the Clubby and Senny. 🤔

@MrTroytroy 2 года назад

@@ImaCullen well then why does someone need a 5XX kW street car that only gets viable traction above 80km/h and the speed limit is 100km/h? That's a lot of money invested to go fast for 1sec over a 20km/h speed range lol ?! A better, and more common, street car metric is 0-100km/h of which powerful RWD cars like this will struggle to get remotely consistent timings below 5secs. Although they will tell you of that unicorn time when they got 4.X secs.... when five planets aligned. There is a reason why domestic car owners refuse to spend $220 on a Dragy but will definitely have a laminated print out of their highest dyno chart. Track times are as relevant to a street context as me recording my cars performance on a downhill stretch of road and flashing my print out at the next set of flat surfaced traffic lights.
