judging from the numeber plate, his in Victora. But you see a lot of these kind of roads here in Australia in the mountains or near the beaches. Love to drive around these kinds of roads when they are empty and have no police sitting in the corner....
I have one on order set to arrive in 3 month's.. and yes I live In the philippines ..why you ask with 80% dirt roads ..Well that's because I can and and Mad max should of been in a Holden
+misutatomasu doesn't the Filipino government have problems with this being a RHD car? I'm just extremely fascinated you managed to get this all the way there.
Sumit John no I was just saying, I didn't get this car I daily drive GT350. Vauxhall V8R or something is the LHD version of this I think for Europe, just rebranded, same car. could fill all the Philipines needs I think...
Hi im in UK Think U Priced Yourselfs Out of The Market . IN UK New they Cost 35k stock 420 bhp . but like mine its a VXR8 /HSV But we don't say Vauxhall ?
will go out on a limb here and suggest 1:07.50s at Wakefield Park in a Series 2 manual with a pro driving. not that long ago you'd be talking GT3 or GTR, and not GTS, to achieve times maybe a second or two faster than that.. And this is a $100k two tonne 5 seater..
I doubt that it is... these cars dont come in left hand drive and GM does not want to export any of these out of Australia... The didn't even bother with the Chevrolet SS which is the base V8 model of this car.
You are right there is a bit more power loss than normal but it's running a 9.9" diff with a cooler and stronger driveshafts so more power loss is expected. Pretty sure the xr8 sprint and gtf out powered it on the dyno but out in the real world the gts was faster and better in every single way.
The FGX 335 is also really 375kw, Ford Australia always advertise the lowest power the vehicle makes. The XR8 sprint is 400kw, the XR6 Sprint is 375kw Those power figures last for 10 seconds within each geat at WOT, since you'll almost never be in any of those gears at WOT for 10 seconds except for top speed runs it's safe to say you get great bang for buck. Do note that as long as the ECU is happy with engine temps, it has no reason to stop overboosting as above to those power levels and if it has to, you still have the advertised power.
+Nicholas Politis its not strange to lose 20odd % through the drive train. its only being questioned lately due to late model fords underesitmating their figures. my fg f6 spun up 280rwkw standard and my fg xr6t 240rwkw. so definately were not 310/270kw from factory.
Well done mate, probably the best review I’ve seen on the GTS yet.
I’ll second that.
take the fuse out in the back for the exhaust or the vacuum plug for the series 1 near the blower cover under the bonnet
That was 100% the best review I’ve seen on the GTS and I’ve seen a LOT! 👌
There will be 100 GTS-R coming in 2017. Can't wait to see!
Is that just your opinion or do you have official confirmation?
I saw it from a car magazine few months ago...maybe it just a predict. Who knows! But still exciting to see this car anyway.
Great vid P D. Keep them coming.
Your always welcome at our track days.
Thanks!
Perfect review. Loving your work PDrive
It was perfect. Perfect. Everything, down to the last minute details.
Yes love mine
@@CurtisLSA just checked out you channel. Such a great car! Hopefully I'll get a GTS one day🙏
@@prozayk5908 thanks for checking out the channel .
You'll get one one day !
are you in Australia in this video? looks like a beautiful place

Aaron Bonter Avon dam in NSW Australia
Its a beautiful place, but the cops are relatively problematic.
exactly the colour, wheel, and caliper colour im chasing in manual.
Beautiful car ,not in green! I wonder if it would b cheaper to import a hsv lsa gts rather than buying a vxr8 in the uk.?
I live in the USA an I got one I gave $50.000 for it love it
@@kennyhayes8488 £45000 over here, so you got a good deal.👍
That seems like a beautiful road to drive. Where is it?
Pan Payne Avon dam in NSW
I think its near the great ocean road one of those roads which leads back to colac or the back roads down to apollo bay. :)
Yep they brought out a GTSR W1.
Is that at Warragamba Dam?
I have one on order set to arrive in 3 month's.. and yes I live In the philippines ..why you ask with 80% dirt roads ..Well that's because I can and and Mad max should of been in a Holden
Didn't know you can get these in the Philippines
you can get it anywhere on the planet if you import it. Well unless government regulations you know.

Why the hell do you want one? Holdens are very unreliable and they aren't very fast. With all that money wouldn't you consider the germans?

Where was this filmed?
ok i worked out its at the Avon dam in NSW
is it available in Dubai?
I doubt that it is... these cars dont come in left hand drive and GM does not want to export any of these out of Australia... The didn't even bother with the Chevrolet SS which is the base V8 model of this car.
Last hsv sold in Dubai was ve hsv clubsport r8
Holden wagon review pls
Is HSV Buick where your from
chevy
camero zr1
they dont spin up the tyres because a pathetic fraction of the power at the flywheel which they advertise actually hits the diff.
torque delivery is completely different to a turbo application. too heavy, big tyres, torque is linear all add to it gripping up.
You are right there is a bit more power loss than normal but it's running a 9.9" diff with a cooler and stronger driveshafts so more power loss is expected. Pretty sure the xr8 sprint and gtf out powered it on the dyno but out in the real world the gts was faster and better in every single way.
im gonna buy one , one day !!
Have you?
Price?
They are about $100 000 new. But you can probably get one used for around $80k
Explain it in USd to overseas viewers . So it's $76000 USD brand new
Camera tripod, we've heard of one.
good review
Want one so bad
Whatta beauty
"430kw" aka 320rwkw
Aka 430 fwkw
+Jonathan _ so you're telling me you lose over 100kw through the chassis? The FGX 335 makes 335rwkw 😂
The FGX 335 is also really 375kw, Ford Australia always advertise the lowest power the vehicle makes.
The XR8 sprint is 400kw, the XR6 Sprint is 375kw

Sit the fuck down! 😂
I have one and I love it wa
make review of xr6 turbo
Nice Car..😎
no lsd
Limited-slip diff is fitted as standard.
+PDriveTV oh,you didnt put it In there thats why I thought there was no lsd.
Sorry about that. Are you talking about in the description?
+PDriveTV yeah the description lol all good man :)
i want one.
no lsd, that sucks
Limited-slip diff is fitted as standard.
gotta love those hsv engines covered u with plastic
if you don't like it... take it off... Also if you could maybe just make one post with all your complaints that would be great.
i dont know if they did it on this car...
but some new holden cars only allow holden manufactures to take the cover off
+The Combat Wombat the v6 and the v8's are the only ones that come with a cover similar to the one shown in this video. They just pop on and off
Matt Lewis ahhh... i did hear tho some holden cars require you to go to a holden manufacture to take the cover off.
i dont know lol xD
Your mum wants her Toyota Crown back!
