I think you lot are a pack of wankers for trying to bait and belittle Vuster. This is a good natured bloke coming on in a friendly way and discussing cars......a mutual interest. How many of us are going to the HSV forum to say hello and learn a bit?
I've raced at a HSV club meetings with the Team Wang guys (as well as NDSOC, PIARC and Maserati club with a raft of exotics and locals and even basic little 70's machines), and we had a ball and didn't carry on like school children. Wanna know what I find pathetic? People that are all talk about how great their car is but don't see any circuit, or if they do actually get there, after talking it up perform dismally. I go and race and it's my credibility, and Snowman's and Scotsman's and Duncan's and Roy's and Ferni's and all of those guys with the WANG to have a red hot go. If you can't post a good laptime for your particular machine then you don't have an opinion that matters. Period.
Cars are about choice, and enjoyment. If we all liked the same thing there wouldn't be enough to go around. OK so I'm a Skyline hog and have 3, but I also have a V8 and a 4 banger, and each car is different, very different. Including the HSV of Vusters, I'd be hard pressed to decide which car to drive 5000km in, the HSV or the V8 Soarer (no not a Skyline), but on track then it's an issue of the GTSt track car or the GTR, but don't doubt the HSV has the ability to go hard at the track and be a comfortable long distance ride. I have seen them go and just like Skylines are in need of a little modification to get the most enjoyment out of.
Be happy to buy you a beer sometime Vuster, and maybe score a ride in the HSV. We're not all pig ignorant and bigoted.
