I have realised that my GPvR is a powerful Sport Car for a STOCK I dont no but have the GPvR been Tuned Harder or abit more or something cos i ummm dont like t say on the forums but no other stock fto has come close to me being stock. :wink:

I just wanna no if GPvR's like mine have been tuned harder or something o are they just Top of the range With Mivec and V6 & Other stuff.

The straight line performance figures and power figure of GPvR is same as GPX. The engine is the same, brakes are the same, every performance parts are the same.

GPvR is bascially build for those who like to take it to the track on the weekend. Hint why there are no climate control, electric folding mirror, and a lot less sound proofing.

How ever the trade is, GPvR comes with LSD (same as limited edition), front top strut and a bit lighter, how much different are these going to make on the track is really depends on the driver.

Oh and the half bucket seats are same as GS, GR, GX, and GPX, its just different colour.

I driven a GPvR, drag a few, but they don't seem to be any faster then my GPX (when it was stock) on the street.

I thought the fastest "Factory" FTOs would be the freaks (i.e. bens and that other one we saw a while back)

I don't think Ben's is what you call 'factory', it mutated after leaving the factory.
