Remember the vtii gts at nrurburgring? GTS vs M5 vs E55  |
Mentioning the VT GTS and M5/E55 together is amusing. Yes I remember the article. When I bought the magazine from the newsagent he pointed to the cover of the magazine and said "how stupid is this? look at the panel gaps in the commodore, you cannot compare it to the Euros.", or something to that effect.
The next gen HSV's, though, will certainly raise the bar to a new level. The direction they're taking will be different; it'll make the bogan next door want to take up lessons in upper class linguistics.
FPV will need serious Ford attention (in the way of approvals) for them to be even on the same page as HSV.
