Default Re: Gen F HSV GTS Review, 0-100 in 4.4s

It's a top end car that deserves praise whilst recognising the premium price will make it exclusive (limit sales)
Should HSV be focusing more on Clubsport being the bargain of a century than focusing on a showcase vehicle?
Or is this about getting in with a last hurrah.......We'll see..
With wait lists as long as thery are it seems like demand for the GTS has caught the red team napping a bit. This surprises me as I would have thought that given the twilight phase the Australian Motor vehicle industry is so clearly in, they would have anticipated more demand for the top end model as the last hurrah.

I agree that logic suggests Ford will leverage the advantage conferred by bringing FPV ownership in-house. If they can't match the tech and kit in the GTS, (which appears most unlikely seeing as they've got stuff all R & D money), then doing a SC XR8 at a SSV Redline sort of price point is one of their few remaining cards to play. I just hope they don't insult people's intelligence and fit dangerously inadequate Ford "performance" brakes to it.
