Dont worry, i cruise with these guys all the time, and it will take a modded HSV to beat you. I hand it too them all the time, even a XR6 comes along too and i just beat him.

The modded ones can be quick, low 13's, they are quick on the roll too, i havent raced one of these yet but i dont think i will beat one.

Netherless ive only spent $20 and i still reckon mine looks hotter..

Ive got 178rwkw.

The VY series has improved significantly over the previous Commodore series, in performance, handling, and in build quality - I drive them, and all sorts of new cars every day for work, but don't let the facts get in the way of a good sledge :(

If your car is stock, his car will be much quicker than yours. If its a new VY ii R8, it will out handle yours.

Once you get modifying, you'll be able to turn the tables.

The VY series 2 have 285kw standard. That is the base model. They are claimed to run 13.6 sec standard by HSV, which with a decent driver should be matched.

Its hard to say what power you'd need in a Skyline to top that, but you'd need a few modifications at the least.

Here comes the Holdne GenIII bashing:D

Look at GTP, i see HSVs giving it to EVOs and STIs, so as far as performance goes, perhaps it will be wise to not be so quick to judge.

So HSV may not handle (ie feel/sit nice around corners etc) but they sure do generate some corner grip, and have plenty of grunt

Id like to see a comparo between a 40k R34 25GT and an R8 Clubsport, might be interesting.

As for resale, SV89/90s, 5.7L GTS (stroked 304 with 6spds) etc still fetch high teens into 20s depending on model which aint bad.

There are hundreds of thousends of cars out there that are faster than your Skyline, but who really cares ?

Does it really matter ?

Similarly, there will be faster and better cars than your neighbour's HSV.

None of this matters.

What's important is that YOU like and enjoy your car - as long as you're having fun, don't worry about the rest of the planet as there will always be a faster car than yours...

So just be happy with what you've got and enjoy your ride, dude! :(

after owning a 81 falcon, 76 escort, 79 commodore, 87 commodore I'm sure I will be happy mate.

To me straight line perfomance is only as important as ride quality and handling I think the R33 will be ample for me...

More like a case of no matter what you get you're always gonna want something better, faster etc. Maybe a result of the materialistic society we live in maybe just me maybe both.

Im sure this Wednesday when I'm driving the car up the M1 from the compliance shop to Brisbane I will be shaking with excitment and loving my new toy with a big dum grin. Probably wont even notice any HSV's and wont care if i do.

There we go i feel better already - self therapy...

The Y series HSV's are a whole lot better than previous generations. I drive a R8 regularly and like it. If your 25t is stock, the VY HSV will out accelerate and out handle you. But don't worry, a few simple mods will see you laughing :(.

hmm $50-60k for a New HSV?

Just think about the kind of GTR R33 you could get for that money and compare it to the HSV.

I think the interior of the HSV would be a lot nicer, and probably a lot easier to sell and insure.. and get you HUGE respect amongst the bogan community, which unfortunately makes up most of the Australian population it seems.

And if you still feel nervous, ask him what his repayments are :(

    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
