Default FPV or GTS

G'day All,

I will be lookig at getting my modern muscle car (to go with my STi) in the next 6 months. I've narrowed it down to a HSV 6.2L GTS or an FPV FG F6.

I thought I'd ask the guys here on what would be your preference? Pointless asking this on the Holden/Ford forums.

The car will be second hand as I can't justify the $ on a new one as we all know the depreciation on new Holdens/Fords.

The GTS I reckon looks tougher and sounds better, but the F6 is meant to be the quicker car.

Whadya reckon?

Cheers
Zombee

You ask for muscle, id go for the GTS.

Extractors, exhaust, tune and you'd get muscle. 6.2ltrs of growl..

You will get growl yes but the F6 will give you performance for your money with a smaller fuel bill too.

I thought we were talking muscle though, when i hear muscle i hear cubes. Not inline 6's :P plus wack a turbo on it and you'll proberly become a digit on the road toll list if thats what you are chasing...
