Id like to see how people come up with these $20-30 000 difference.
If you want to compare Ford and Holden, you would have to compare the GT R spec and the GTS. Comparing the GT to the GTS and calling it 20k cheaper is like a Holden person saying, well I can get an SS for 20k less than the GT and it does the same job blah blah.
Cheapest GTS on Carsales has 5000km on it. Its price at $89 990

The cheapest brand new GTS is $96 720.
The highest is $105 990.
Most expensive GT - Rspec is $135 000

And it has 114km's on it.
Or what about one with 14 000km on it? $92734 EXCLUDING on road costs.

You can also get one with 4000km on it, similar to the abovementioned GTS at $89 986.
So new, they are about the same price.
Second hand with 4-5000km on it, the GT R spec is $14 cheaper, lol. Big savings to be had there.
And not just the price, it has been proven that the GTS is faster in the wet. It has been proven that the GTS is faster in a straight line in the dry. Its also faster around the track, has a load more tech, and amazing mechanical capabilities, and when you spend the same sort of cash on it as a GT R-spec, its actually quicker still down the 1/4 mile.
I think some of you need to get your hand off it. I think I would know what I would prefer if I was after a car for these sorts of coin. The GTS would be in my garage in a heartbeat.
