VT2 HSV REVIEWS

[kiwiis200]

Hey guys does anyone know of the reviews of a vt2 that was done on a uk motoring shows in 2000? I dont know which one it was but have been told it possibly might have been the old top gear but cant be certain and one of the cars could possibly have been mine.Any help would be highly appreciated.

Yeah I think top gear had a blue one at one point. I remember seeing the segment on it.
Do a search on google it should crop up.

I know Top Gear reviewed the VT 1 as I have that on DVD. From that I would suggest it wasn't them for the VT 2. I remember Vicki Butler-Henderson driving and HSV at some stage. I am not sure if she was working on 5th gear then or not. Might be a good place start though. Hope that is of some help.

Last one mentions a programme comparing an HSV against a BMW M3 and Merc AMG but can't for the life of me find it sorry!

that reminds me.. when the chev powered VT's were launched circa 2001/2002 (VT2) there was a good comparo done running a GTS (UK GTS-R)vs the M5 & E55 AMG at the Ring. Can't find the link now but I've seen a web based copy somwhere

Excellent docs Paul thanks. Some look familiar from the old days.
Everyone will note the GTS-R price of £49995!!!
So with 7 extra KW these days and a technically superior car the VXR Clubsport really does look fairly priced.

Mind you on the other side Im sure the BMW and Merc, have raised their power game by a hell of a lot more than 7KW!

Lets see if HSV bring out their LS7 sedan.. Tiler
