Slow.... That depends what your comparing it to! Was as quick as the Clubsport in 2003 and really made HSV lift it’s game as it had no real competition for many years before the BA GT came along.
The auto wasn’t the best in the BA GT and really held back the 290 but the manual was/is a very enjoyable drive, especially with a decent exhaust note to back it up..
I have a low k one in my collection and quite enjoy driving it when time permits. Still turns heads, never gives me an ounce of problems, and has one of the best exhaust notes in the business..
Just a great old Grand Tourer...

Agree with this post. I also have a low km manual BA GT owned for 13years now and took it out last Sunday for drive down to Bowral as it doesn't get used much now with the Mustang being the new toy . The BA is a fun car to drive and gets plenty of looks on the road ….

Speaking of build quality though , give me the BA over the Mustang anyday...not so much because of panel gaps but the lacklustre interior, things breaking easily
