They were/are nothing special to warrant the asking prices for them in recent times. A **** factor rear wing, stand out colour and carbon fibre bits... And power level the same as that on a base model BMW 540i or MB E420.
Their asking prices (same as EB, EL GT, BF Cobra) have ridden on the wave of the boom for the classic Bathurst legends... Something the GTS-R isn't.

Fair to say that Aussie muscle started to up its game with the AU and VT series 2, to now where the VF is a viable alternative to some of the Euro stuff. Safe bet HSVs send off model will be more sought after than everything post Group A before it.
Until the VT2 HSV the GTS-R was top dog for power for four years in the HSV world. Thats a long time. Imo it's got the best interior and the best engine Holden created in that decade. Never mind Euro power numbers because they're nothing a like. Strokers were the **** and still are.
