Beschreibung
This is basically a 4 door, 5 seat monaro and was fitted from new with a Vortec supercharger, which lifts the power considerably. The dyno graph says 570bhp – I don’t know how accurate that is, but I doubt you will think it’s underpowered. Its no 29 of the 30 odd imported.
This is my second HSV GTS - in my pursuit of powerful V8 rear wheel drive cars with a manual gearbox. It’s not subtle and probably the nearest thing to a large 5 seater TVR that I can think of. Jeremy Clarkson called it the “identical twin to the old Aston martin V8 vantage”.
The Spec is:
HSV GTV VT2 - 83, 500 miles (MOT 29/ 8/ 17 but only 1, 000 miles since las MOT with no advises)
5. 7l V8 (Chevrolet LS1), with vortec supercharger, performance cam and custom exhaust
6 speed manual gearbox
AP Performance disc upgrade (6 pot front, 4 pot rear), front disc replaced this year
Peddlers uprated suspension (springs, dampers, bushes)
Rip shift short throw gear selector
Air Con
E Windows/ Cruise control/ trip computer etc
ABS, and air bags (4 I think?)
Racelogic traction control (with off/ on switch)
Phantom Black metallic paint
Black leather interior
2x remote locking keys
These cars can rust, so I spent some time checking out the underneath and doing proper rust protection. I have pictures to show the condition of the panels.
Pictures paint a thousand words, so I have uploaded plenty more, but it won't let me add a link so please ask.
Have a good look - you can see the condition yourself, but I regard it as extremely good for a car half its age.
If you are interested, drop me a line with any questions, but I am not desperate to sell, so no silly low offers please.
Located in Epsom Surrey.
