Think that one belongs to Garth Tander,somoen may be able to confirm that.

[maloo97]

Awesome shots guys.

that is correct :)

Nice Pictures Matt. The E Series 2 in the pics look quite good. I dont think they are as bad as people 1st thought .

[chrissn89]

Great pics :)

in the clip of the guy reving the E2 HSV at the end the guys say its in 'transport mode' thats why he couldnt rev it much/hard. I didnt even that they had that kinda thing (map)

[Shaun]

I think with E series 2 lots of changes have been made in terms of maps .. One of them is comp mode when you turn the ESP off . It's like the VXR sports mode on .

[Shay]

OMG at that red coupe,
Matt your a legend :clap:
did some excellent work yourself adz...

[Wraith]

Nice pics Mat, factory floor looks the same as its always been...

How doew the VE look like in the matal ?? GTS wheels and the rear bar still look like :spew: in the pics...

I think the GTS wheels look alright in the flesh, but you definately need the optioned blacked out spokes.
In terms of overall design, i'm still not convinced even having seen them in the flesh. They don't look as solid as their predecessors.
I was able to compare an 'E Series' to an 'E2' side by side both in silver which were parked around the back. The E Series looks so much tougher with a much wider air dam and narrower nostril 'grille', giving it a very wide and low stance. The E2 next to it looked high and narrow in comparrison thanks to it's much smaller air dam and taller nostril 'grille'. Also the bonnet vents draw everything up even further, adding to the narrow effect. There is so much detailing in the centre of the front end (even more so with the GTS' blacked out centre portion) that it just make everything look high and narrow.

If you were going to get one this would be what I would suggest.

Opt for no spoiler or the Senator small lip spoiler.
Replace the bonnet with a non-vented item.
Colour code the black/grey (Chrome on GTS) plastic inserts above the front nostrils

i remember seeing that HRT Maloo at the motorshow in 2001 (i think)... i instantly fell in love with it!

[btm]

Thanks Mat :)

Will have to see those GTS mags in real life, blacked out ones in the pics look shite...

[MatsHolden]

Don't get me wrong, they're still no VX GTS rim, but they look better with the blacked out spokes, the full silver looks terrible.

[Wraith]

i had a clue u would have already seen it before :p

I actually missed it, because I was paying attention to all/any red VE's and saw the tigre mica prototype Monaro and thought maybe Shay was colour blind :D

My bad though DOH ! :mad2:

True that, a couple of the VE series 1 rims they had were great designs :)

Pity about these VE series 2 ones though...

It's the Coupe 60 concept unveiled at the Melbourne Motorshow last year. It's a VE Coupe. One hot beast.

Here's a rear shot for you.

thanks Matt, very Sexy indeed. I didnt realise they made the actual car. I thought they had only done CGI pics

There you go ;-)

[Wraith]

ANGE and ADZ, i was talkin bout this one...

Ah, see I thought so...

But it ain't red LOL :lol:

Tigre Mica duco or bronze/brown :)

I prefer the later and similar Fusion colour which was featured on the last Monaros :)

That particular model just missed out on a 200 vehicle production run becuase of soaring costs, had they built them it would've been a 240k vehicle :eek:

Wasn't that the HRT427?

The GTS/R was a concept for a track car for pure off road use and for a one make series.

damn that ve coupe is porn!
