boo its not even a real gts-r. its a gts-x with the gts-r rear spoiler. sadly that is actually over priced. which is strange for nz... they usually have the best prices.

That's what baffled me, why use a GTS-X than a real GTS-R??? One answer is a genuine GTS-R is expensive due to being rare. But I have seen similar replica's (Gibson GTS-R replica, Impul GTS-R replica) forsale in Japan and they were based on real GTS-R's.

There was a genuine ex Gibson GTS-R in NZ (Green colour) that was owned by a privateer team in Australia after Gibson were finished with it. But has returned to Australia from NZ and races in Muscle Car Masters. It was on
SAU.

i got to see the real ones along with the gibson GTR and dr30 in 06

Wasn't that originally the Beaurepaires GTS-R (Sizzler GTS-R)???

I found a photo of all 3 GTS-R racecars -
