General Jones Veteran Offline --> Posts: 345 --> Join Date: Jan 2007	Howdy Y'all. My name is David Jones (Yarrrrr) I live in southern Utah and my joe collecting is pretty much the same as snakeeater. I stopped collecting in about 1990 and didn't start again until 2001 with the RAH collection. then I left home for a couple of years and then I came back to go to college where I met my wife who had already graduated and now I am on the wife scholarship. I got back into collecting when my mom got me a v1 stormshadow with a full cardback for Christmas and I've been going ever since. Lately I have been trying to get into collecting G1 transformers as well and fixing up my old figures like devastator. Interesting story, I was helping my mom go through a closet with some old boxes and I foung the complete Voltron Lion foce mint in the package, all five lions, so needless to say I achieved another childhood goal. My major in college is Information Systems with an Emphasis in Network Administration. I should graduate next year unless the department chair tries to pooch me. I love playing american football as well as the real football. Favorite Joe: Good question Favorite Cobra: V1 Viper Favorite Food: My wifes Spagetti & home made meatballs Favorite Drink: Jones Cream Soda Favorite TV Show: The Office Favorite Movie: I am anticipating that is will be the new Transformers movie, but I'll let you know after I see is tonight. Favorite Color: Blue Favorite Music: Classic Rock Rock On!! Get Your Cyborg Name __________________ Chuck Norris doesn't Tea Bag. He Potato Sacks.

Bring on the GTS-R! Hail HSV!

Uhm. Dude? The Viper GTS-R is made by Dodge... which is owned by Chrysler, not GM.

As for HSV... no idea what that is.

Lol Yup the Dodge is made by Daimler/Chrysler... But those guys have nothing to do with this beast... Good job too, as they'd only ruin it...

I'm not surprised your confused Jay... They aren't for sale in America/Canada... At least not yet... But I think they will be soon enough... Kinda strange That GM are sourcing cars from Europe and Oz now. The Saturn Astra and Pontiac GTO being examples. It should be noted that the most recent GTO was an HSV rebadged as a Pontiac. It had a few cosmetic changes here and there from the version that was sold in the UK and Outrider's part of the world. But nothing drastic.

Anyway... As for the GTS-R? The Viper has nothing on this limited edition HSV. Although the cars name is not officially known, it's thought to be "GTS-R" or possibly "GTS-R 427"

Basically it's a super saloon with the 7.0 litre engine and gearbox from the current 'Vette.

The bad news is we have to wait until October for it. It may well never make it to your part of the world or the UK! That's a bugger...

If your interested... www.hsv.com.au You won't see any Dodge's there

However, last time I checked, there was no word on the website. Not yet anyway... They are building this thing to celebrate HSV's 20th Anniversary.

Whether it's to you tastes Jay, I don't know mate... But as a concept, It's very respectable, especially since it will be a lot cheaper than an M5.

Note to Craig: Buy one! I know "I just want one"

Dave

Yeah I know the heap you're talking about, went like stink in GT3 though.

HSV has had a GTS-R model off and on for at least 11 years... Maybe longer.

Whats in a name anyway? At least the HSV will be... less ugly than the viper?
