    HSV GTS - I just wanted one...

    So yeah, sold my CV8Z Monaro to pave the way to be a family type bloke and in the beginning I was looking at SS's, SSV's, Redlines, then had a few cans one evening and started to look at Clubsports and found a VERY low km one in Newcastle, then had a few more cans another evening and thought why not check out GTS's as it would be cool to have 2 "GTS" badged cars in the garage then boom, found a car, low kms, the right colour, owned by an old bloke, so I bought it. It's now on the way over from the land of WA so I figured i'd stake a claim in the street cars thread.

    2008 HSV GTS (dec build, MY09), stock as a rock!
    Has an LS3.
    Has a 6spd auto.
    Has monster sized brakes.
    Has 4 doors.
    Has a boot.
    Those last 2 things my old CV8Z never had.

    It's essentially a practical (and cheap) car that both the wife and I can use that still looks kinda cool. Plans for the future, nothing... not a god damn thing... Well... maybe a VCM intake so I can still keep the MAF, set of 4-1 pipes and cats and just polish up the tune when I can be bothered, oh and maybe convert the head unit to an E2 IQ3 setup, all lotto winnings dependant.

          Looks good. Not on GTS wheels though? Or were those ones (I think they're called Pentagons?) optional?

              It was so clean, the salesman tried to point at a mark on the rim but it was just a black smear that wiped off with my finger. Had FSH and was a pearler. Didn't even need to drive it, you just know.

                  The pentagons I had read were an option. Yeah not a fan of the euro trashy face lift the e2's got. Much prefer the e1 looks. It's probably going to be used by the wife more than me I reckon [emoji38]

                    If anyone is looking. There's a very low km one in qld but it's the karma blue. I was going to fly up and drive it home but I prefer the voodoo blue so this worked out.

                          How does this compare to a C63 which I also cant afford?
