By 1996 standards 200kw wasn't too flash... I think the VS Clubsports and Senators were at 215 while the GTS R was 235kw and another second quicker down the 400m (?). As far as hero models go the EL GT has always lived in the shadow of the GTS R.
Unfortunately there is nothing distinctly significant about these cars.
The amount of people lining up to buy one at the inflated prices from dreamer sellers could be counted on one hand.
Last time I saw one for sale (in NZ) was at $80k.
For that price I could consider,
Modern American muscle car - Mustang, Camaro, Challenger
1950s-'60s American in original condition with good options list.
Old Aussie classics - Valiant Coupes/Chargers, GT/GS Falcons, 2 door Monaros.
Modern Euros that a climbing in price - Porsche 993 - 997 911, 996 911 Turbo, BMW E46 M3 and BMW E39 M5.
Who would choose an EL Falcon over any of them, for driving enjoyment or an investment?!
