Hey,

Has anyone had a run with a HSV COUPE (GTS or GTO).

I was driving down Epping Road yesterday and had a Yellow HSV COUPE scream past me...

I can't tell which one it was as it was badged.

It was either the 255 kw or 300 KW job (probably the 255, hence the reason why he badged it).

Ohh did I mention he was on his P's. hahah Big bloke in the car (just looked funny). My first thought was he had been done for speeding and lost his license or somethoing like that.

So anyways had a little run and he couldn't pull away from me...

I also noticed when the corner got a little tight he couldn't hold the car in the lane and it started skipping (I guess you could say) into the next lane...Where moine just sat very flat on the road..

Regards

LOL.

I had a quick run with a GTS 300kw sedan one night.

I've got to say that it sounded really nice.

Anyway, the old 3rd gear got him I pulled away in the mid/high 3rd gear. I didn't scream away from him, but it was pulling away.

At that stage I only had a 3 inch exhaust, pod and 12psi boost.

Yeh I raced one at the creek one night

I brained him, He must not know how to launch

cause he finished 2.105sec behind.

After the race in the pits I went up to

him and he wouldnt talk:shake:

Those 255 and 300KW ls1 hsvs are pretty fast. maybe thats because I'm only driving an r32 but whack a s/c on them and they can really get up.

Had a run with a s/c 255 clubbie R8 not too long ago. It was all over red rover pretty quickly.

My boss has a GTS Monaro the 300kw one and he wants to give me a run sometime. He even put it in the Company Newsletter.

I wonder how i would go with full exhaust, Hi flow cat, HKS Airpod and BOV, EBC set at 11psi and Tein HAs for that extra launch capability.

[Revhead]

I've run a 255kW Clubsport R8, and I have to say it was pretty damned close - dead level actually, except after ~160 I pulled away (until I hit the limiter). Mind you, it didn't sound like it had the stock exhaust on it so maybe it had slightly more power than stock, maybe it didn't, I dunno.

I had a play with the 300kW Monaro a couple of months ago too. Unfortunately I was on the 'Blade though - the Skyline would've probably been more fun. Anyway, he had me level pegged in the corners (cos I'm a wuss) but on the straights it was like kicking a puppy The bloke was pretty cool, he gave me a bit of a wave and a smile, and even kicked it out a little bit as he took his turnoff... wicked

At a track day a while back, on the twisty bits I was all over the GTO's. Had more corner speed and could brake a lot later than them. There were about 3 of them. Coming on the straight though, they've got torque and plenty of it.

PFC should fix that problem now.

He He so the old 3rd eh ... funny about that as thats usually when my LS1 does its best work

I don't usually get a look in in 1st gear usually start to match em in 2nd and 3rd is when it all happens for me the gen 111's start to hunt em down.

The Skyline is a very nice car guys so is the humble Commie, its been a learning experience perusing your Forums.

Cheers :burnout:

SS Enforcer, don't you love one eyed car fans.

What you really need to do is come along to Eastern Creek on Thursday....

[SS Enforcer]

Thanks for that but I really have to work .... Besides I can't afford the 2 grand for rubber and brakes etc for a track day atm.

Post That Link At http://www.ls1.com.au and you may get some starters though.

cheers

[U WERE MINE]

well i ran a fair few 255's in my time.. and a couple of 300's...

iddnt loose to any.. was usually even up untill 3rd gear then id just pull..

only ever really got beaten by a vl and vb once near bondi.. the newer commies never really threatened

Could someone please explain to me why Mel always gets picked on by Commodores. Wollongong was a great example last friday night. We were just out for a cruise after dinner at Stanwell Park and looking for a Mobil servo down there and all we got was clowns after a piece of her. Look out the day she decides enough is enough,,,theres gonna be some very pissed off aussie muscle. Then again,,,I should stop having 3 beers at dinner,,,cause I won't put up with that crap.

Neil.

[BU5TER]

I hear about this from a few of my mates too but honestly I can drive all round Sydney and don't ever get hassled its very wierd

[akira]

Yeah, most HSV owners wouldnt want to take on a modded Skyline.

There is talk of a AWD HSV being released soon. That should be interesting to see .........

[Roy]

Im not a bleep on their radar, i need some more stickers to attract their attention.

[cul202]

beware of a black commy monaro getting around sydney as the last time i was at 'the creek' there was one running around a flat 12 or high 11 (around this - my memory fails me at times). either way it was quicker than any skyline was on that particular night

it looked quite std but didn't sound it.
