View attachment 192913 Popped past my dealer this arvo, and they have two gts-r's sitting on the floor, one in red, and one in LMF, i wouldn't mind stealing the brake and wheel pack from these....
I had a good look over one the other day, it's interesting where they extended the front fenders and bumper. Around the headlight kinda looks odd in real life.

But I agree, id love the wheels

I'd take the engine! Haha.

It's not the W1, so it's not the ls9, just the lsa, so meh... I think id stick to my n/a ls3 over the most thirsty engine ever! The W1 is a different kettle of fish though....

That's great that they have them on display, but it's teasing everyone for no reason, as they are not for sale! All the dealer principal's have got one each, and they are probably the 2 that they have kept for themselves. So why bother having them on display? I don't want one, as I am happy with the Redline LMF that I have - very happy - and I can't justify the extra $150k-$200k for this rare beast - not that I can get one of afford one. None will be seen on the road - maybe some initially - but most will be locked away in a garage for no one to see...

"Meh. It's Just the LSA" LOL
Listen to the V8 drivers taking the moral high ground lately.;)
When a Camry driver has a crack about fuel consumption of our cars they're challenged and berated. Hypothetically speaking.
Now it seems a few are knocking the mighty GTS and Clubby LSA' s for liking a drink?
C'mon team.
If you use a car like this as a daily driver, clearly you're either that wealthy you don't care, or that stupid you don't care.
1.8 tonne
6.2L
Supercharged
Geared for performance
Of course they're thirsty. But who bloody cares?

So this is not a W1? Are you saying not all W1s are sold out? Or are you saying not all GTS-Rs are sold out? I'm referring to the W1.
Nah just saying that it isn't a W1.

Just checked on HSV website, those brakes (on the GTSR) are 410mm rotors (6 piston), 20" wheels, engine power is bumped up just slightly over GTS now 435 Kw torque is 740 Nm
