New Ve Sandman

[HK1837]

I'm a country lad Byron so a manual is a must for me!

I did look at a CV8 when I was in Adel. Black, 63,000km on the close. holden warranty etc. Absolutely mint and original. $30,000. I myself like the GTS. But finding one suitable with low KM and original is the issue....

I know they are not a monaro HSV's. But thats the exact reason why I don't want one lol. I like the HSV Coupes. The GTS especially.

GTS would be worth having, but only the early examples with the 300kW Callaway engine. My mate has a 4 door version, it is a weapon. At least they retained a GTS badge, like a HZ GTS. Still they are ugly compared to a Monaro. I looked at them all lined up at the Monaro Nationals and the CV8's especially the V2 varieties without the XB Falcon ugly bonnet scoops (VZ) look heaps nicer in the flesh than any HSV. The only HSV that looks any good in my opinion is the V2 Coupe4.

What is there not to like! I love them. The GTS name is a big seller for me.

V2 GTS nose and side looks good, but the rear treeatment especially the boot spoiler just doesn't look right. Sort of reminds me of a UC with A9X kit tacked on. Engine more than makes up for it though! They look great in yellow too. And they look heaps better than a lot of the 4 door plastic pig HSV's especially the nose of the VY stuff. When I was looking at buying a V2 Monaro I knocked back a really low kM because it had a factory rear wing! I just don't like bolt on crap! Just me though. My mate got the engine rebuilt in his 4 door HSV GTS, I think it cost abot $11,000. On the dyno when being run in it was cranking out about 335kW at conservative revs. All they did was rebuild it to basically standard specs with better quality pistons, a better cam and cleaned the ports up.
