VFII Redline vs Gen-F2 Clubsport R8 - the verdict...

[revster]

Maybe off topic but does the LSA equipped HSV apart from the GTS come with an upgraded auto? That is do they use the 6L80e or the 90e?

All the same running gear as the GTS inc 6L90E.

As far as driveline goes, the only thing the regular LSA models miss out on compared to GTS is the torque vectoring.
So all LSA models have the engine oil, gear box/auto and diff coolers. The auto fitted to LSA models is the 6L90, and the manual is the TR6060 MG9 from memory. And the big f**k off diff.

Smash is on the money.

Brakes, wheels, torque vectoring, EDI (is Clubbie option). Track mode in the driver select package (lowers the car), and better aero package to keep all the coolers cool.

Also, the heated seats are gold for my lower back - literally melts the stiffness away.

Probably a bit out of context now as they are all sold but the Motorsport edition offers all of that..

If you read back to what I said I was going to do earlier in this thread I carried through with the 385kw upgrade but did it to an MSE instead of a Redline. In the end my car is a basically a HSV GTS minus around 50kw and the huge (unnecessary and expensive) brakes and I've spent $80k. Absolute bargain if you ask me.

Not sure about the diff size and cooling on the MSE though? Can you confirm?

I can't speak to the diff, this is likely another difference in favor of the GTS, but the MSE has the same cooling AFAIK.

Diff is no biggie, it’s minus the 6l90.
