No offence but I wouldn't pick that from an SS Commodore. My opinion only but doesn't seem to have the 'impact' the Rspec does!!
One hell of a chaser though I'm sure......Any more pics??

that's what I said about the VF HSV GTS in the VF thread - looks similar to a VF SS - saw one at Calder and it didn't look like anything special next to a SS.

No more photos yet

Rumour has it that the R-Spec had an engine meltdown running on E10.

Sydney has had this for a while - taken at Bathurst 2014.....having a chat with the lucky HWP officer, within the ranks they stir up the driver of the RSpec having a souped up taxi compared to his Panamera LOL......
The rumour was correct of the RSpec as well - another officer had pumped the wrong fuel in yes E10 - cracked the block !

The GT R-Spec was at the local fair at Terrey Hills about 6-months ago.

We were at the fair and I said to my then three year old son, who loves GTs "lets go check out the GT Police Car"

He got real excited and he ran over to the police stand, he stood right next to the car looking all around and said "Dad, where is the GT?"

Police man standing net to him said "here it is"

Timmy quickly replied "That's not a GT"



Dad was very proud indeed..

But they did let the kids climb all over the car which was cool.

Very nice looking bit of kit and a white GT R-spec would be my pick.

My son and I saw this on the Pacific Hwy at Lake Macquarie on saturday arvo.

Certainly took a double take on it as it drove past the other way!
