ROFLMAO!!! You guys must be joking? Those GTS-R's are nice as! Rare but, pop up in the trader from time to time. $35k or so from memory.

I can't believe you haven't hear one before StockyMcStock. News must take a while to get up to Brisbane North hey - maybe like (2004 - 1996) EIGHT years?! These things are as rare as Walky's, but yeah, I'm with you.. I don't really like the wing, or the black tri-spoke wheels.

I don't really like the wing, or the black tri-spoke wheels. indeed pehaps more collectable then walky's as there were far less made and even fewer with the 10k optioned 355 stroker, if i had the cash and could buy one with less then 30k on the clock i would and store it as the value will increase in yrs 2 come as so little werre made i have only seen 1 driven on the street for this reason no one wants to put km's on em but yes they do pop up every now and then for 35 odd k's........

yeh, ive been in one, they feel awesome as in conering and such, pretty tourquey, just like a vr/vs 215 gts or senator, exactly the same box/diff/power etc. cirtainly pull heaps of looks! and they are a tough unit. diffinately worth the investment.

personally i think it looks like an absolute abortion job. never seen one in real life, hope i never do. holden seems to have combined the worst rims ever with the gayest wing ever to create a VS that actually somehow looks WORSE than a stocko VS...... if that's even possible. how have i never heard of one of these before? simply because i don't rate the HSV line of cars at all, and am not really interested in collecting them or valuing their rarity. thus i simply don't give a crap about the whole thing. i can recognise the fact that they're worth more because people desire them, but i simply can't justify the stigma and awe that accomanies them just because of a few small changes and a HSV badge.

I remember when these first came out. They were the best HSV at the time and only 100 of them were made. Pity the HRT blue printed engine was only a option and not standard.

stockmcstock great comments mate HSV's are the greatest cars ever built and mercs bmw's ricers, imports etc can not compare there class style performance and outstanding credability so in reply to your comment i will keep them to myself dont want to offend anyone. My 2 cents people
