I agree the F6 is probably the quicker car, but I was not impressed with the G series F6 when i was in it. Also, you say muscle car, I don't see how u can even consider an inline 6 as a muscle car! Sounds strange!!

However, the GTS, slap on a walkinshaw bonnet, wipple charger, exhaust, and brakes and enjoy the growl of 6.2L of muscle! I recon they are pretty hard to go past. That would be my choice anyway. Even maybe the super-clubby? As seen on Top Gear. Hot!

Really tough choice. I think both cars look great, the FG F6 is far and away the sleeker (sleeper if there is such a thing when talking F6's) looking car, whereas the VE HSV looks a lot tougher. Both can make bulk power and torque reasonably easy, in the Fords case it'll definitely end up cheaper kw for kw. If it were me, I'd go the HSV take it to Mark's Workshop, stick a positive displacement supercharger and all the other good bits on it and enjoy 1000+ Nm and 600rwhp and endless rear tyre bills

Well as seen on Top Gear Australia the walkinshaw supercharged GTS was indeed faster than the w427! (which somehow I managed to catch in between furiously vomiting in my mouth and throwing inanimate objects at the telly).
And I believe it's considerably cheaper too.

Wingless Black on Black GTS

Fkn porn.

You want muscle ?? .. Sure the FG6 is more than likely quicker, but how can you say no to 6.2ltrs of gut wrenching torque ?

If you do decide to go the GTS... step away from the common-folk...

Take the Evoke... NOT the phantom...

Class, tasteful, understated. Porn!

Brent.


P.S - I hate you - for having the choice! LOL.

considering the engine and drive;line is the same, I would opt for an R8 clubby. If you can save a few $$ by not getting a GTS (and paying the premium for a badge) , you will be able to splash it on some tasteful improvements.

Although, i did see a black FG F6 with black wheels, dark tint, lowered and what seemed to be a set of black BRIDE seats. looked and sounded hot.

drive them both and let your bum decide.

decisions, decisions
