    If you can find one, go the GTS man.

    if you go a clubsport, you'd want the R8. its got more features than the normal. but you prob know that already.

    The way it's going you might be able to pick up a VE SS V, fresh off the lot, for the same money. I heard of a Calais V with 20k knocked off it in Melb today.

    hmmm gts the r8s are ok but leather weighs more than fabric so the car will be slower .
    plus leather gets sticky in hot temps i will never get leather seats in a car.
    but hay maybe just get the new ve ss and supercharge it !!

    If your going to go the Gts just be aware that the engines have been known to break valve springs and chew up cams as early as 15000ks... this can lead to a nasty rebuild cost.

    With what you would save on buying an r8 you could spend on doing a few extra mods anyway.
