Firstly, if you search the forum you would have found your answer. This question has been asked many times but anyways....

0-100 is in the 7s i'm pretty sure. You can beat the old v6 commodores, but not the new generations. v8's, you don't stand a chance. You can't get the turbo whistle, but with a pod the car does sound very nice.

By the way I know this coz I had a R33 GTS on my L's.

aye dude u can pull a nice healthy 120 - 130rwkw from the gts but takes some diy mods , but if high performance imports did it, then it can be done refer to my thread on GTR engine, sumwhere in there was a guide to how it can be done :D the gts is still pretty quick, 105rkw stock while a gtst is around 130rwkw stock, its not too bad in comparision :(

A VL commdore would be faster than a GTS easy...

Bigger engine and weighs much less (VL)

If your buying a GTS dont even bother with performance cuz really it doesnt have any

R33 GTS25 - 147kw (200hp)/1470kg (stock) - what's the VL RB30E engine rated at stock?

IMHO the GTS25 is not a bad buy if you want a simple cruiser without the hassles of a turbo. Just avoid the 2L GTS model, though I don't think there are many of those in Aussie.

Make that 1320kg stock :(

yep, all up they are a good package, and are really cheap for what you get IMO.

i bought one as my introduction to imports and although they don't have the outright power of gts-t, they are still an awesome car to get around in. still take mine out on occasions and still love driving it.

the 25 head should flow more and also the vvt will help give it more power. the rb30e wont flow as much. the only time youd wanna put an rb30e near an r32, r33, r34 is when you wanna do rb30det conversion and you use the rb30e block, with an rb25det head. or i guess you could do an rb30de conversion and gain more power
