Dont tell me your still looking for the source

Really don't know what your obsession is with the GTS! Every single post of your is about the GTS.

Have to keep checking to see if I am still on the Ford forums.

p.s Why would I want to PM you for?

I'm waiting as well.
I'd love to know what the GTS top speed is.......after all it is claimed,backed and screamed from the rooftops in this country as being the fastest in the land!
Put your money where your mouth is or leave. I continually get questioned or laughed at.......right before posting said link to back up my claim. So where's yours? Or are you full of whizz n pin......

Just a refresher. With limiters on the GTS is 5klms slower then the Ford GT335.

This thread is going no where. We will just have to wait and see what upgrades HSV does to the GTS. Anything discussed is only speculation

Fastest over 400m, thats all that counts.
Cant do 300k's on any public road so its irrelevant.

Just another worthless card to play by those who cant win the real world battle.

I imagine the GTS will stay the same power wise.

I think the special surprise will be a limited numbers GTS-R with an LS9 under the bonnet.

Yep a GTS-R with the Z06 engine, 8 spd auto and carbon ceramic brakes would be biblical

Your lucky EVO didn't test the Auto GTF along with the manual GTF in there comparison test with the HSV GTS.

Knowing that the auto has been tested and proven to be quicker than the manual down the quarter, it could be very well that the auto GTF could be Australia quickest production car?

Food for thought.

That would be mental.

If HSV would produce this car, there will be no more debates. Game over.

In the real world, traffic lights aren't Christmas trees.

Maybe we should just test cars on 0-50kph...

Evo were fully aware of that too and have mentioned it a few times. Evo seem to be the only non biased reliable testers around atm!

Can't do a 0-400m on public roads either.

To me it's all about being in the left lane and a car parked ahead with a twat alongside you.

About 300kw does that just nicely.

Agreed, mind you i never actually said you could, there are plenty of places you can though, in most states. Unless your travelling through the NT theres not too many places you can get to 300k's, even on tracks.

Rolling acceleration you say, i think team red gets that one too.
And if by some chance the twat next to you has 300kw too, team red will pull you up quicker to avoid said parked car.

Care to explain yourself? Don't read too much I gather. Maybe you've never heard of Evo? Or you hate them? Or you just hate fast fords?

Either way I don't see how your (insults) are contributing to the discussion.....

Would Evo still be the unbiased bastion of truth if they tested an auto GTF and failed to beat or match an auto GTS?

What have EVO got to gain?

My money is on the Auto GTF being quicker than both manuals.

Have a READ of that and try n tell me that's not the best informative and non biased review that explains things for BOTH sides without displaying anytype of noticeable agenda.
