Good reading about the track performance. Interesting torque vectoring system as it mentions that you need to be on the go pedal for it to work helping reduce understeer, if braking it won't give any benefit. Would enjoy a drive around a track in one and then compare it to my XR6T. The BF weighs less but my suspension is the softer side of after market and rims are way skinnier.

Is it worth 93k though?

Didn't catch the news story on tv but heard that gmh is looking at either down-sizing (again) or closing down in a few years and I can't find the story on any of the tv networks sites atm but if they are going to close then this may well be worth the money for the diehard Expensive Daewoo fans.......just like the last falcon will be for their fans I guess

something I did like very much about the 1 I drove was (remembering that it's just a standard commy, was the suspension, much better than my old ve calais

Steve, I'm sure it wont be long before we see 1 either on the 1/4 or at a track day somewhere.....I have been checking metube lately but haven't found anything yet

Take your Ford hat off for a while, and go to dealer and have a "decent" look at them. A lot better in the flesh.

I am in both camps, like both my Ford, and HSV. I like looking at any new product, regardless of make.

My favorite car of mine is still my $5,000 Toyota Soarer.

ive taking the hat off but I never I didnt like them..well I dont like the ass end but not coz its a Expensive Daewoo as I too have owned more holdens/hsv's then I have fords/fpv's..ive seen these cars in the flesh and from the front look nice,interior is also pretty,the calais is the nicest imo but like I said,shouldnt we compare the clubby's etc to our range of cars as the gts is scarce and probably all collectors have purchased them? asking a question?

who gives a rats ass.

hahaha true dat!

Yeah the thing I still care most about is straight line performance. Go baby go!

dont they run like a 12.3 down a quarter as stated in first post??

I need a reality based time, claimed times and mag times mean little to me based on what I've seen the Fords do at the track. So to clarify, I am interested in seeing what owners will actually run which is usually in between the two

If I had my own G-Tech maybe I could compare my results against the magazines as I understand this is how they time, which shows slower times than a drag strip thanks to roll out?

This car is not just about the Qtr mile time... This car is track orientated.. Around a race track I think most FPVs will be seeing its arse end..

The guys who buy a HSV you will mainly see them at track days than the local drag strip..

You really have to go look and drive one to appreciate what HSV have done..

Unlike FPV who just slapped 5.0ltr into a engine bay and sent it out the door this car is well in front of FPV. Remember you are buying the TOTAL package .

Looks like a bit of a weapon to me...

I dont think the GTS has been released as yet. Clubby etc in show rooms now.

The GTS will be faster than the GT335 Rspec,but I'm more interested how it will compare with the Audi RS6, M5/6, AMG C63 etc.They are the cars, according to GMH, the GTS is targeting.
