Hello Ross great review of the GTS. I agree that it is one of the best cars you have reviewed. The owner has done a really job keeping its factory look while doing some good work to the motor. The supercharger and exhaust sound really good. Keep up the good work.
I've got a 2015 manual with similar mods, cnc ported heads as well ,it makes 520kw at the wheels and spins the rears in 5th gear when your on it and supercharger is putting out 15psi and wails like a banshee. Missus hates it because it's like sitting in a rocking chair at idle cause of the cam. Mostly lives in the shed these days.
@@petezappa8748 True, Ford finally got it right with the charged Coyote. Was a little too late though. It was funny that many fans I spoke to didn't even know Ford stopped manufacturing the V8 range in 09 till the Coyote. Shows how the Barra was preferred choice while the only V8 sales in that time was stock sitting in show rooms. Doesn't surprise me though as Ford fans are usually all about the Barra and Holden fans wanted their V8. Can't go wrong with either in hindsight.
Supercharging is definitely the way to go on these motors . I put one on my VE and as you said the driveability is awesome if you just want to idle around but put the foot down and instant power and does not destroy fuel economy !
Same with mine, as long as you don't floor it all day long you'll get 10L/100km on the highway due to the bypass. Plus it's a simple bolt on kit, get a good tune and you're away. Super fun overtaking road trains I gotta say 😜
I love the VF, the GTS is the pinnacle of the range of cars you can buy, the w1 is collectors only now. The fact they used a 9.5" diff, gearbox, clutch etc that pass warranty with no issues at all with 430kw always amazed me considering older HSVs blowing diffs up easily etc.
the VF had to grow on me it didnt look like a commodore just like the ve but with all the tech and features HSV has done with the VF throwing in a 10"* diff and a full driveline to handle 1000hp and the factory exhaust is capable to handle 600HP that HSV claimed and that went for (GTS,GTS-R and GTS-R W1) but someone made just over 1200rwhp still on factory driveline and nothing has happened and is a 8 second sleeper. personally wouldnt waste my money on the W1, HSV bought the last of the LS9's, parts are hard to get, there isnt much difference detween the GTS-R and the GTS-R W1 ( dry sump engine,suspension, rims, badge, stitching on the headrests and on the silver plate where the shifter is instead of GTS-R) not much main thing is the engine badging i prefer wet sump over dry anyday because of maintainence costs and dry sump cannot be cheap especcially when they be hard to get been in the GTS and been in and driven the LSA GTS-R they are lovely to drive, first hour of driving one kills your foot because its spring loaded for the "race car feel" easy to handle with a little kick out of the corner 6 pot brakes all round work well dont need much pressure to slow down from 200 to 60 and its really smooth... there was one night the owner had me in the passenger seat nice cold night 9c to be exact took off 1.31G off clock 18 seconds and no slip and the that GTS-R is a total virgin no tune no exhaust not even an k&n filter still the paper genuine ones just shows what they have done now thats parked up reached 35xxxkms just bought a 700hp VF GTS now that is just something
@@CurtisLSA 100% agree to that . i work as a Holden mechanic and worked on a modified GTS manual likely similar spec to this one, taking it down a back alley on my road test was the quickest ive taken down there, and i've driven a 996 Porsche 911 Turbo down the same stretch at a slower speed, not familiar with the car and was easily in the low 5's high 4 sec 0 - 100.

Australia was so close to getting the CTSV when Holden was going out. But GM with their infinite wisdom decided to bring the C8 down under instead, which costs almost 3x as much as a gen F GTS. Real shame because I think the third gen CTS is one of the nicest looking American cars produced.

The logic of extrapolation doesn’t work like that. More power means more wheel spin and slower times.

No HSV that Ross has tested (and he’s tested a lot) has got better than 5.18secs.

Bit of a beast, Holden and HSV really did do the V8 range right. I can't deny even as a Ford man

Facts mate
I remember a few years ago I was behind a stock GTS LSA white just like this, sounded amazing...this beast though is on another level!
That LSA whine is something else 🔥👌
I still remember the Mazda 3 comments when the VF first came out, but far out if this isn't the best looking HSV they ever made.
It's funny as I have a VF and my wife has a Mazda3, same age and they don't look that similar.
This is easily the best HSV they made.. (VF) tho I still love the VZ looks 😅

In good conditions, with normal tires and roads, from factory they can do 4.5 seconds to 100. This should be able to do high 3s
It would if you were at the drags with slick tires 🛞
The logic of extrapolation doesn’t work like that. More power means more wheel spin and slower times. The only exception to this is using warmed up drag radials on a prepped strip - otherwise you get slower than the factory (highly optimistic) time. No HSV that Ross has tested (and he’s tested a lot) has got better than 5.18secs. He’s tested over 40 Commodores and only two got into the four sec range and that one was running drag radials and a drag set up.
I have seen some great drag times from these beasts making low 10s mid 9s.

Pretty much a copy of the c63
For a 3rd the price
Hope you drove the shit outta this Ross. As stupid and impractical as these are to own, christ do they stand out on the road. Holden really nailed the design of this HSV and it's anything but subtle!
Impractical to own ?
You wot mate 😂
Huh? ya what/
I reckon it’s pretty practical 😅 but yes so much fun to drive and the road presence is unreal
Nobody cares an auto might be faster. Manual all the way
Facts! 😈👌
Not really. We have the ZL1 Camaro and CTS-V with the same LSA engines.
Way prefer this tbh
