DCOTY 2009: Best performance car over $60000
Using a extent simple, but devastatingly effective, principle, the GTS is an trustworthy effort and one that will appeal to a lot of Australian car-buyers.
With 6.2 litres of V8 and now 325kW of power with HSV's latest upgrade, the GTS is an redoubtable performer in a straight line and its natural ecosystem is a flowing back road where the enormous torque and footprint can wake up into their own.
It's less happy in tight stuff, however, and it's here that the HSV's weight (about 1800kg) starts to capture up with it.
Combine that with a recalcitrant gearshift, that dreaded Commodore A-atlas blind spot and patchy interior and the big Aussie loses some points.
Nissan's GT-R could never be accused of having a self-evident interior with its plethora of display choices and arcade-ready feel, but if anything, it's too far the other way.
But that's the GT-R for you: extreme in every department.
