It always makes me laugh when they never mention performance stats. Probably cause they can never be matched.

Ahhh, I mixed up the names from Coupe4 and Cross8.

Whoops Coupe4 was it Wheelnut? I had Coupe8 in my head *shrug*

From what I’ve heard the Avalanche was a good bit of kit as is the F6X. Some off-road capability without compromising too much on sharp handling and stonking engines. Hard on juice though.

As well as the Monaro based Coupe 4.. HSV also released an AWD wagon known as the Avalanche and an AWD Crewman known as the XU-V.. neither of which were particularly popular among HSV fans.. Nor is the FPV Territory for that matter.

If you want an AWD Performance Sports Car you should be looking at either Audi or Porsche

These are big, heavy, safe 4-door family cum sports cars.

HSV tried AWD with the Coupe8. Good package but too heavy.

So Z80, making it AWD will mean it won’t become a pile of rusty garbage???

How about the beaut examples of XY Phase III GTHO’s and Monaro GTS’ that have survived nearly 4 decades? Piles of rusty garbage?

Someone willing to fork over $70k-odd for an F6 or Clubby will take care of it.

acctually they got a best of 6.3 in the fpv gt with the 302 boss the new xr8 is quicker than the last gt and the auto was short shifting and the gt need to be ran in to got it’s best they should be good for a 5.8 at the least and the new fpv gt should go a hell of alot better than the current but it might only just match the xr6t.

how do you know the new hsv v8′s are quicker than the new fpv v8′s they could only achieve a 5.6 out of them .4 seconds for (over 10 k more spend 3 to 5 k on mods on the xr8 and it will demolish the gts.)quicker than the xr8 so thats nothing to be proud of duck
