I wish at 21 I could afford a GTR or R8 maloo. Rich daddy or hello debt.

You're asking a Skyline forum. Most people are going to tell you the R34 GTR.

If you want my opinion go the GTR, sorry but it's in a different league in so many ways even to the R8 Maloo.

The maloo looks like an uglier version of the already ugly SS.

The GTR is just sex on wheels.

But as above, you shouldn't care what we prefer. Drive both, decide for yourself. I wouldn't buy a $50k+ car that someone else thought was good.

As for which one will beat the other stock (sounds like a school holidays question tbh); In what way? Straight line, track work? Drift?

Quite a different option in car there..

What do you want it for?

What one do you like?

Why are you only picking between those two?

I really don't understand the purpose of these threads that are always created on here.

"Hey guys, I want to buy a new vehicle but I wont tell you what purpose I need it for. What do you think is better, a Mazda 6 or a Toyota Hilux or a YZF-R1? These are the only choices I have made but I won't tell you why."

Very hard decision for that one , both really nice cars ! I would think what u really want from the car , then test drive both & make the decision ! Eg GTR is going to handle alot better , have better traction & carry more people . The Maloo stock will have heaps more power , carry bigger objects in the tray & can handle a little towing if need be . I think at the end of the day also is what are u going to do with the car , leave it stock with maybe the mild mod or go all out crazy & mod the hell out of it. If leaving it stock i would choose the Maloo , but if mods are in i would choose the GTR Both are Great performance cars , but so completely different cars

who fucking cares what he want's it for unless it's a work ute or a tow car.... which is all any holden has ever been usefull for

sorry to any bogans lurking, but commodores are overpriced, under engineered, low quality, slow peices of shit. there has never been a single decent one and there probably never will.

can go fast in a striaght line when modified yes... but lets face it, drag racing is for homo's

[GTR-N1]

...intend to go around corners?

...or through them?

They both weigh about the same (~1500kg). 34gtr's make about 230awkw's, the holden "makes" 317Kw, but i've no idea what rwKw they make, but i'd presume it'd be less.

Ute might be a little faster in a straight line, but i'd get the GTR anyway. (well actually if it were me i'd buy a '32 gtr and pump the rest of my money into modifications)

R34 GTR vs VE Maloo ute... (1999 - 2002 vs 2007 - 2010)

No comparison.

R35 GTR vs VE Maloo ute... (2007 - 2010 vs 2007 - 2010)

[ClutchBurndout-:(]

get maloo if u only want a car thats good for a year or 2

theres a reason holden bring out a model every year, cos theyre sales/marketing revolve around new models, not quality

The kind of person serious about buying either of these cars doesn't base their decision on what forum goers say...they go and test drive the friggen things. Very school holidays!

Hamish my man, the Aussie cars aren't really overpriced. Even if a second hand R34 GTR represents better value (depending what you want the car for), it didn't sell for 60k brand new like the Maloo did. If they did then I would agree that the Holden is overpriced and underengineered for what it is. But Holden and HSV have to work to some shitty constraints...and considering how small the Aussie new car market is, compared to say Japan, they do a pretty friggen good job of it IMO. Alot of Aussie cars are now sitting on the world stage in both performance and luxury compared to international offerings of similar money, and we're exporting more cars to more countries than ever.

The Maloo actually weighs as much as a Clubsport, which is about 1775kg - quite a lot. You're right about the R34 GTR being about 1560kg.

I agree, completely different cars, but I guess he just wants a nice fast toy around $50K. The answer is always the same though; drive them both and pick whichever you prefer.

I agree with Birds as well; Aussie Ford/FPV/Holden/HSV products are considerably better than most people give them credit for.

As with all other "VS" threads - closed.

Each car is different, performs different and will even give different results in different drivers hands.

Its upto you to look at what you want, specs/use and make your own decision.

"VS" threads are largely pointless, perhaps try reading Motor Mag if you want to find some sort of "rank"
