They suck. I don't care how well they went - I think they were the ugliest HSV ever. Especially those horrid three spoke black wheels.
Other HSV's looked mean and purposeful - the GTS-R looked like the sort of thing that a rice driver would design.
Love it
Hate it
It's a VS HSV, what's not to like?
Everyone seems to either love or hate the VS GTS-Rs, so have your say here. Who likes it, who doesn't, and why?
Rediculous spoiler and taxi yellow ruin it for me

i like it, especially the wheels theyre cool, spoiler is a bit over the top but isnt that what its all about
"The mind is its own place, and in itself, can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven."
apparently wasting my time with 97 cubic inches
milk doesnt come in 1.6 litres

It was a shame the Vic Government decided to paint all the taxis yellow after the GTS-R was released but for mine it isn't the sort of thing I'd like to drive
I much prefer understated cars that look relatively stock on the outside but pack a suprising wallop underneath to an out and out 'look at me' model like that
If ignorance is bliss why aren't there more happy people around ?
i dont like it, but on that note i hate all vr/vs that arent stato / caprice
TVR-190: That LSD service paid off. Stato just got very sideways.
Grennan: In a stato, the term is held starboard.
Probably should add my vote in...
Its a shame about the taxis getting painted that colour, because otherwise I'm sure it would have well and truely stood out on the roads back in the day

I'm going to say yay, as i love VS HSV's, i just hate the wing and that stupid brake light under the wing on the bootlid on the GTS-R's.
I love the seat cloth, bodykits (VS HSV FTW!!), the manual trans, and the wheels and the 5.7 stroker. The yellow and black doesn't bother me all that much. Not choice colours, but i have seen worse. I love the GTS-R's more than i hate them.

I love it. It's the only VR/VS I can stand to look at. It's so over the top, it just works
The ONLY VR/VS I would ever drive.

They are such a ridiculous car, therein lays its beauty.
Loved it when it came out but when you see the shapes of the cars that came later it sort of wore off me.
So over rated! Stick on carbon fibre, ridiculous rear wing and the same power as a regular GTS.
Anyone who knows their GTS/R history would know that they were painted that AFTER the taxi's were yellow. Thats how they came about, left over shells painted, sold to HSV for a limited edition model![]()

I didnt know what to vote for... Dont love it, Dont hate it, I'm 50/50
It's not that bad... other than the bi f*ckoff rear wing.
Not exactly my cup of tea, but there are far uglier cars released on australian roads

i like it because its different, although the spoiler = lol to the max
im not a fan of it.
It just reminds me to much of every other vr/vs out there with a kit on... only thing thats different with this is thats its actually got abit of balls. Unlike the P plate v6 versions going round.
dont worry, il start a ride thread soon.
