Welcome to Just Commodores, a site specifically designed for all people who share the same passion as yourself.
So manual R8 Tourers especially Gen F2 are quite rare?Yeah, early Gen-F Tourers (wagons) were available in manual form, they were LS3 cars, 325kW (or 340kW - there was an option, can’t recall exactly what was included). Gen-F MY2015 saw the manuals quietly dropped, must not have sold enough of them to continue. MY2016 (sold from late 2015) was the start of Gen-F2 & all Tourers were LSA from then.
They look quite beefyI, along with many others, would suggest Michelin Pilot Sport 4S.
+1 , although I had Dunlop Sport Maxx on my car as I got them at a good price 4S were recommended to my by the tyre shop as well as number of others including on this forum.I, along with many others, would suggest Michelin Pilot Sport 4S.
You couldn't buy a Gen-F2 one from HSV as a normal customer, and it wasn't a product they officially offered. They did used to do favours for people who'd spent bulk money with them over the years though, so someone who'd been (for example) buying a new HSV every year for 20 years could probably have bought one built by HSV for something like a $30k premium; either that, or pay similar to get a new auto one converted to a manual one (probably something a good HSV dealer could have managed).So manual R8 Tourers especially Gen F2 are quite rare?
