mayb this will change your mind, 6cyl pure muscle

rt charger, 265 hemi, tripple webbers.




ive been in a ve walkinshaw w427 (a few times)

the walkinshaw wins hands down. its pure sex, 7 litres of power, the red leather, 20" mags, 6 pot brakes, not to mention the carbon fibre rear spoiler. woo!! lol

never been in a gts, but from what a few people on here said, a red or black ve gts, red leather, with a marks workshop whipple supercharger, tune and exhaust + Walkinshaw Performance Power Hood Scoop = win.

that gorgeous red leather makes me wet.

good luck with your choice.

For that money neither of these two cars but if I had to pick one I'd go with the HSV.

Purely based on my personal taste as I haven't driven either.

For that money I would not be putting it into a Holden or ford
no matter how much power it has to me its just a commodore.
Personally I would be looking at Merc or Audi.

Even the c200 Merc can be had for 65k to 70k
Just couldn't bring my self to spend decent coin on a Holden or ford.
Least any euro car you get something for your money.

GTS, as a daily driver, the effortless torque and noise from the 8 is hard to beat. I6T from the F6 is a great engine (for Australia at least) and mated with the ZF 6 speed auto, goes hard. And if straight line speed is your thing, F6 is easy to go fast in.

But the GTS is still more rounded as a daily.

I voted for the F6... but I think given the option I'd probably get into a VE... Something about 8 cylinders and 6.2L of fun... and I think I'd be less inclined to modify it as much... Plus they just look soo tough..

The VE interiors will age very rapidly as its all put together with "christmas tree" clips. The F6 is quicker than the GTS but it lacks traction. the F6 is supposed to handle better and has better in gear acceleration. Oh and the gts has an oil cooling problem as well.

having said all of this i would have the GTS.
you cant beat the noise that a throaty V8 makes

Gts!

if you want something fast or powerful though a newish base model euro is never going to satisfy!!!

although the build quality definitely shits all over the locals - my old mans got a new C class and it feels built 100 times better than my F6, just lacks any kind of performance..

I would never bother with a GTS, go the clubby and whack a blower on it if you really love the V8 rumble

I love the look of the VE HSV's but, seriously, how fucking many are there on the road. God damn. I honestly think i see one every 2 minutes.
