      @@mr.sunnyg5510 said by a bogan who's lived his whole life in Aussie junk cars. There's a reason Holden's are the common man car and more importantly there's a reason why they don't exist. Even the average Joe realised how poorly made they were, their terrible efficiency for the large displacement engines.
      The problem with Holden was they were never able to move on from the past. They made cars thinking it was still the 2000's and ultimately that was their downfall.

    As a Ford supporter, I had to admit that GTSR W1 is an amazing thing. And to have a HSV out drive a 300k BMW, that's very special too. I'd definitely class it as a sports car instead of muscle because its all round capability. Making the GTSR's pricetag so high was a good tactic. The price will go higher on them much quicker than if they priced it at 120k, and yes you can get an F6 and make it 1,000whp for a fraction of the price but the GTSR would feel so much more special to drive and own.

      although this is merely my opinion, I am sure the companies had considered that and decided against it. I think one of the main reasons would likely be trying to penetrate a market dominated by European vehicles. There seems to be two categories of performance vehicles, european and US muscle type cars.
      The former (European) is much bigger and appeals more to those with money (I think), rather than a muscle type car. I am the same. I wouldn't likely spend a lot of money on a high performance holden, or Camaro, or Ford, or Chevy, or anything else of that type, I would always prefer something like an M series BMW, or Audi R series, Porsche, etc. They just have a kind of aesthetic and styling that muscle cars, Fords, etc, don't have, and so they probably will never be able to capture that market, because it's not their market..

      @@MrKrueger88 okay, no race parts but that's not the point really, the parts used for HSV are improved for performance or whatever, using the latest race-based proven technology and adapted for the road, etc. In a general sense this is how these W1 bits added to it to make it more than a Commodore would be made. I'm not necessarily suggesting they picked race parts off the shelf and bolted them on or whatever, if that's what you think I am claiming.
      But the main point I was claiming is in the quality and styling of European cars and that costs more money - as the adage goes, you get what you pay for.
      I have owned about 20 cars in my life I suppose, of many models, mostly Japanese but after having owned an M3, Ducati Panigale motorbike, X5 BMW, Range Rover sport (recently purchased for my wife), Mercedes SL500, compared with the other 15 Japanese or Australian vehicles, there is a big difference in styling, quality, and comfort. I recently had a 2022 Ford Explorer for a day, and its interior was cheap compared with my Wife's Range Rover. You're wrong by saying "they're the same", no way they are the same. Not even close.

      @@MrKrueger88 Regarding appreciation in value over time, yes that is a curious thing that is hard to define, but something to do with market forces and here is my take on it; The Holden is much rarer, fewer made. At the time of production, most people that are really into Holden's, Fords, etc, don't have that kind of money (generally). Those in that higher wealthy bracket who could afford it don't buy the Holden's, Ford's, muscle cars, etc, they buy European performance cars - that's the market for the rich, generally, they like the prestige, quality, sound, everything, they are a different demographic than the muscle car kind of person.
      Now, of those poorer type muscle car guys who love the W1 but can only afford a 10 year old Ford FG turbo or whatever, a small proportion of them get rich, and those are the guys who probably then go and buy the car they always wanted, the W1, and hence its appreciation in value.
      The european rich guys, go and buy an F40 Ferrari and hence why there's not much of a market for older European performance cars, that and also because of the myth that "they're very expensive to service etc so no no, don't get one!".

      @@geofreyr you are paying more because they are branded that way and you're buying into the hype . Yes , they are well designed mechanically , and they sometimes use better parts than other cars . But saying they are better than some of the best Japanese would be simply arrogant and naive . Any company across the world can use the latest tech to design and manufacture a part , the rest comes down to styling and prestige , and you pay a lot more for that . In the end , BMW aren't even very reliable , they leak oil and depreciate rapidly , and if you think that's great , then go ahead .

    Pretty biased review, the GTSR is a purpose built road legal track car. The BMW M6 is not, it is a luxury car built and given to M-Performance to trick up. If anything price tag aside (I agreed the BMW is crazy expensive) the HSV should be embarrassed that a luxury car is so damn fast compared to its thoroughbred track car. Also I am sure that driver has a hell of a lot of time behind the wheel racing the HSV, get someone with similar experience in the BMW and it probably beat it.

Nothing you said has refuted anything I have said, the BMW is quicker in a straight line however brakes and suspension let it down and "hello is there anyone home" Holden was there when this comparison was made and clearly the Holden was the better car after the track testing. It isn't Holdens fault that it saw closure in Australia, It was Chevrolet who was losing so much money in the U.S.A. that forced their hand with Holden.
      Also, whether it is in Australia or any other country the BMW is way overpriced and isn't worth the extra when compared to the VF, but dickheads who love to think they are somehow special(like you) would pick the BM.
      When I hear the loud rumble of a performance V8, I turn my head but I don't even notice the Toyota looking BMW go past and nor do I even hear it.
      "A GT car" so what, it still didn't beat the VF in the test for track superiority. Wake up fool.

    Euro cars are a joke. Why pay so much? Performance sucks, styling looks like shit, reliability doesn't exist, and luxury you can get out of a Australian / Japanese / Korean vehicle for far cheaper.

    Lets spend 10 hours on the Autobahn at 300kmph and see who has the most amazing car. I love HSV in fact actually own one but the BMW would crush it over a day of high speed driving.

      10 Hours at 300kmh would mean you travel 3000ks mate. There are no Autobahns long enough. Now bring that pos German car over to Australia and lets see how it goes on the Nullabor mate.

      Well that’s because it’s not meant to be a touring car. And lucky we don’t have Autobahn in Australia moron. I lived I Deutschland for 3 and half years and NO ONE drives at that speed for more than 30 seconds at a time on certain parts. 240 is a good speed in the right car.

    That is the best HSV can do though ,the M6 is conservatively more an expression for road use ,it can be tricked and do away with that W1 .

      Hsv are LS powered, the fastest engines in the world, yes around a track they are lack luster, but down a straight line and MPH nothing European stands any chance against these beasts. Yours sincerely a Ford man.
