Redline SSV Vs Gen-F GTS

Wow. Something newsworthy at last.

The Z06 Corvette which houses the LT4 engine hits 0-100 km h in 2.9 seconds and does the quarter in 10.95 from stock... it will make a difference. Huge difference.

The corvette is also lighter than the GTS so no real comparison.

GMH have put in a requisition for 300 LT4 motors, seems the limited edition Gen F GTS series 2 will have some extra ponies.

A link would be great.

Haha thanks for that! I should have said "do you have a link to the origin pf the news about 300 LT4 engines"?

Perhaps you were pointing to an external site?

Theres less than 200kg in it. Not a HUGE amount but enough to shave a few tenths.

Cadillac CTS-V 2016 has the same LT4 engine and weighs within 20 kg of the current GTS. The Caddy hits 100 km h in 3.7 seconds and has a top speed of 200mph. Hello Stuart Highway!

More effect than I had of thought. Slap some bolt ons at it. Exhaust tune maybe a smaller pulley. Fkkk.

Hey Guys,

So I may, emphasis on may, have the opportunity soon to upgrade soon from my 2013 VF SV6 back to something a bit more grunty. Not a bad position to be in.

As per the title of my thread I'm a bit torn as to what I would buy. I'm a former VE SSV owner & loved that car to pieces, but I would have liked a little more grunt out of it. I'm trying to work out if I should buy another SSV, spend a couple of grand on tune, mad exhaust, OTR intake etc, or just bite the bullet & buy a GTS.

I know there's gonna be pros & cons of either, but just wondered if any of you blokes had to make the same choice & how you ended up with what you have now. I also should mention that I'm also considering other manufacturer's vehicles entirely (not Ford), as long as it's really fast, safe, lots of gadgets & can carry 2 baby seats I'd consider it! But the 2 front runners are the SSV Redline & GTS.

Thanks guys.

I hope I can help you out here. I own both a VF SSV Redline and GEN-F GTS. Both cars are world class cars! Is the GTS though worth nearly twice the price of the SSVR though? Well that depends on really what you want from the vehicle? If you are looking to spend simply on exhaust, OTR, tune then I would go the SSVR. If you're thinking or huge power upgrades, brakes, diff etc. and your budget can cope then the GTS is the way to go

Just remember this though, coming from another "family man". If you go the GTS route you will have far higher associated costs. By that I mean servicing, fuel consumption, tyres and general wear and tear BUT also higher insurance premiums too.
