THATS RIGHT I HSVE A PROBLEM
that is the problem, I like the HSV-VE R8, I like it a lot and its not out of will of not trying to like it it just that they look so tough lowered in black with 20 inch rims. Is there a cure for this sinfull lust or am I doomed to own/yern for this BEAST of a car even though Im BLUE through and through???...HELP!!

Just buy one. As long as you dont buy a washing machine from Toyota I dont think anyone here will care.

Lusting over a HSV is the same as lusting over your own sister, it's just not right.

just think about the thousands of VE's recalled on there release because they spontaneously combusted like a ford pinto.
think about yourself strapped in a burning car. now think about cruising in a FG Typhoon with the turbo singin on boost did that help? |

I'll admit the VE HSV's look nice but every time I see the tiny quad exhaust on them, I can't help but laugh!

They don't look bad the HSV's...
Have you seen a black lowered F6?  Think of the quality driveline you get with it... or just test drive the HSV's and FPV's, then decide.

The VE HSV's have grown on me from a cosmetic perspective.

Ill also admit that black lowered VE R8s are the toughest looking. But.. buy a black F6 with 20s anyway and work on humiliating any R8s you find. Thats what any true ford fan would do. and stay in the closet lol. jk.

Get one... a 6.2 V8 Clubsport will lay the stomp in any Blue Oval V8 sad to say, and they look tough, you're right. They go well too.

Though the LS3 in America stomps anything Ford has there. The GT500 can't keep up with the LS3 C6 Corvette in a straight... forget about cornering, wrong car for the job...

Dont do it! The interior is crap and when you see one hell of a nice FPV pull up next to you at the lights you will find your self wondering why you swapped camps.

Pitty Sourbastard is OS, would have sent him over to your place to sort you out.
However, do what is right for you at the time. |

Get a GT ..forget the pornstar VE . In the real world of everyday driving the performance difference of a Clubsport to my 290 BF is not that great. I had one try and cut me off on a lane change ( goose) on the M1 up here , and he could not round me up.. I was in a slower lane and had a truck in front of me 200 mts away ,so I tramped it so I could merge and this clown thought I was racing him so he went with me !!!

I'd definitely drive them both (FG FPV & GTS etc) back to back before i opened my wallet. I'm not going to write the FG V8 off just yet though it would be an easy decision for me if it were BF V8 vs VE.
