minux said:Well, im defiantly not buying a GT-P. Drove to melbourne sunday arvo, it was terrible, by the end of the trip i was all cramped. Im only 6ft but a solid build(worked up in the army) but dang, no way known i want this. Guess my decision is made, im thinking due to the savings i may be second hand, looked at a devil yellow? one yesterday hence the drive to melbourne, so much money to save and its HSV certified.
Told you... I'm 6'4 and when I was looking for a car, I needed heaps of room and comfort, falcons cant provide that.
I reckon either Impulse blue, Devil Yellow or Fusion (new CV8Z Monaro colour) would be awesome.

MINUX I'm 200cm tall and drive an AU with a sunroof! but I bought the car for driver enjoyment purposes and their is no doubt the ford on paper and if not in the driving is the more dynamically gifted (the typhoon anyway).
The typhoon has fuel economy on its side, not to mention the amount of untapped grunt they have in reserve. Now they have a sweet 6 speed auto.
The quality of plastics in all holden's plastics is appalling, Personally I would wait for the new model if you love commodores so much.

Due to my leg problems caused by a very unfortunate event, i need leg room. None of which the GT-P offered. The typhoon is just a 6. I would rather s/c an 8 and have soemthing that didnt sound like an excessive fart.
On the road the R8 leaves the GT-P typhoon everything for dead, the ford has no ability in cornering and it feels like the car is already understeering before i even get into the corner. The main reason i was looking at ford was simply the price i couldget one, but my lovely holden dealer actually bettered my deal, so my mind is basically made up.

congratulations hopefully you'll get a good one. But then again If you can afford it you can also afford to fix it. I can't deny it's a jet and whoops any falcon.
I'm not a big fan of aftermarket mods, the factory spends 100's of hours of testing and $$$$$$ into development not for someone else to screw up. Exhaust and maybe chip is as far as I would go.
