48 hours in a HSV GTS-R W1 | Wheels Australia

My dream car is the C6 ZR1 but it’s nice to see the LS9 put to good use elsewhere besides the states!

Loud and Angry...🤬

Eye watering $170k? Lol, $300k-$400k now.

If i had that for 48 hrs.all tyres would go back bald..if not popped and it will be on a trailer lol

As a performance car - rationally speaking, every year it shows it’s age. But no one is here for the rational purchase of a performance vehicle. It would be interesting if this could steal the “slowest most powerful car award” from the other Australian invention - the Mustang R-Spec. If you can find a more powerful car that is slower 0-100 or across the quarter in a street setting - let me know.

And the old walky still looks better.

PITTY 300 CARS WILL BE SITING IN GARAGES TO SCARED TO PUT ON TRACK JUST MAKE MONEY SAD WORLD ISNT IT .I WILL PROBABLY NEVER SEE ONE UNLESS ITS IN A MUSEUM🤐

They are not agressive tyres they have a high silicon content and that means danger as they have less give and when they let go you spin out especially if ya not on the track..

I remember when we had a car industry.... now we have nothing and rely on the rest of the world for everything... that's worked out well especially since covid. Thanks do gooders

All that need is a hsv GTS Maloo rear bumper or hsv or hsv clubsport r8 rear with functional aerodynamic outlets

it aint no gtsr w1 but honestly the joy i have owing and driving my 2010 e3 clubsport is indescribable. the HSV line is just perfect.

Orgasmic, and I'm team blue oval.

Best V8 exhaust note since the original Ferrari flat-plane quad-cam unit, and much, MUCH better than an AMG Mercedes.

nice high country

Who's here after seeing one just sell for $1million, this was a bargain when new

Just to think that was based off of a car you can get with a 3.0 V6 and a torque converter automatic, at $34,000.

Hq 1 eng

Every bogan's dream mobile lol

Location please?

Finally, a good Australian reviewer 👌👏

“Huh”, So it’s basically a four door zr1?

I will NEVER , I mean never, buy an electric car anything

Think Your Going 2 Price Yourself out The Market . 2 dear 2 Buy ?

The GTS-R W1 and the XR6 Sprint will go up in value over the years, no doubt about it. There’s demand for both cars.

Cant beat an ls3

Me dads got a gts gen f2, but he has upgraded it several times, it is now 700hp lmao I’m not even kidding

Australia has never builted a car. The engine is the heart of a car, it comes from the US. Australia couldn't even build a two stroke engine, worth manufacturing.

I would love to own a Lamborghini or a Bugatti but man I want to own this real FRICKEN AUSSIE HSV BEAST

I'm from Australia beast af engine but Australian's got an issue for the price the interior is legit trash a car from the euro above 60-70k had a better inside.

And hence why the company went under its stupidly overpriced for a car built in our country.

Also the ecu tune software hardware is lagging by at least 5 years people tend to buy and send it to a tuner to remap legit it's total trash cause after a tune the car turns godlike - Australia has potential but wasted it.

The W557 walkinshaw would kick it's arse

I’m sorry but this is not a modern GT-HO phase 3. The modern day version of it is definitely the FG X XR6 Sprint without a doubt!

Such a great but final, sad page in the book of Holden. Only to be followed by the eulogy of the tainted name Commodore

People saying it’s a rip off but it doesn’t need a carbon body kit it’s a Holden hsv all you want is the power and control of the car that’s why it’s austarillan made @hsv I just want one

The price is wrong they go above 200 thousand now up to 300 thousand

It's so beautiful.

I used to work for GM
The GTSR Maloo was better value and the better lighter and faster car.
And better looking.
This car is not worth the extra 70k.
Wank factor!!!

A low km,pristine condition W1 in say 15 years could fetch what????
1 million??
2 million???

Its a pitty that Australians and Kiwi didnt buy more of the Aussie muscle cars to support the industry. Shame it is gone now .

I own one of these alongside an 02 CV8, a 1971 HQ Monaro LS and a 2000 VT executive all manual all in brand new condition even my commodore!😂

Where was this filmed?

Lol
It's funny that the 100 thousand dollar GTSR Maloo ute was the better car and quicker than this car.

Chevy ss in America right ?

Wanting !

It’s nice but it’s not worth the money. Buy a vxr8 Bathurst s for £35000 get it tuned by monkfish to the same spec as the w1 for £50000 all in. U park the Bathurst s next to the w1 and I know what car I would rather have.

I noticed he said they'd hunted up 'almost' 300 x LS9 donks. I wonder what they used to make up the rest..
