james 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2007 Since there is a tread for pics of us I thought it is only right that there be a thread dedicated souly to our vehicles. So post pics of anything you own or have owned that has/had wheels and you used for transportation. My car I've got a few more toys but no pics. All in due time.

aussief1 4 Report post Posted April 5, 2007 It's a 1996 HSV HSV did a limited production run of them all in the XU-3 Yellow HSV built 75 of them. They called them GTS-R's the "R" is to represent "Race". The car is fitted out with a V8 Supercar carbon fibre rear wing and carbon fibre bits and peices arond the bodykit and interior. The inside is yellow and grey with a special German cloth with GTS-R all over it. It's a 5.0Ltr Holden 308 V8 bored out to 5.7Ltr which develops 215Kw, with 475Nm @ 3,600rpm coupled to a "T56" 6 speed gearbox with Hydra Track Independant rear suspension. Good for 250km/h at least so the Holden engineers state in testing at the Lang Lang Holden testing grounds. Does the 400m in 15 seconds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aussief1 4 Report post Posted April 5, 2007 Yeah same here. It only gets driven maybe once every couple of weeks, more of a long term investment than anything else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aussief1 4 Report post Posted April 5, 2007 I'm impressed Thanks It's a real head turner that's for sure. I'll post up some pic's of my Dad's fully restored 1963 Morris mini, and my 1978 Leyland LS 1275 mini after it was written off when I get a chance. I'm sure other people on the forum have some great cars aswell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rumblestrip 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2007 Well at least your current one will go round corners. (joke!) (maybe) It's actually a lot better than I thought it would be. It understeers a bit heavily though, probably by design, but I do have a set of springs sitting around in a box waiting to be installed. It'll probably get those and a new set of wheels/tires at the same time, and probably a stiffer rear sway bar to address some of that understeer. I can't wait to get into the new house so I finally have a garage! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
