you guy's (to me atleast) are lucky [url]mailto:b@$tards[/url] <? what the heck?

anyway you guys get alot of really cool cars not available here (US) like the GTR's, Falcon's (AU versions new and old), Valiant Wayfarer,Commodore SV6, Chaser, etc.

just curious if we make any you can't get, but would like to own.

Both are heavy pigs though

But I guess leather seats would be nice.

I love the cars DODGE makes, i mean our CHRYSLER CHARGER is cooler looking to me, but the DODGE one is bad, man. and the CHALLENGER RT. is awesome.

I also like the CHEVY MONTE CARLO, BARRACUDA, the TORONADO (when i first saw this car in the movie THE DARK HALF, i had to have one.

But still, i love the AUSSIE Muscle car the best. - Pre 80's FALCON's, and HOLDEN's. f**k anything made after 80, in this country.

i used to have an '87 2.3 turbo coupe. a little heavy of a car for that motor but man did it move when the turbo finally spooled up.

you can always check out the new Pontiac GTO, its a borrowed design from the Aussie GM car. Plus 350hp to boot. Not the most attractive thing (crossbreed between a Sunfire and a Grand Am) still handles like a typical GM, a brick wrapped in cream cheese.

Find you an SVO Mustang, same hot 2.3 along with the intercooler and a lighter body, junk the stock turbo and go wild with a build up and shim up the wastegates then give the fony pony boys a run for their money. Would love to get my hands on an SVO again but they are rare around here in southern Indiana. If you find one its completly trashed and not worth the time or the effort. Been serious thinking about getting another turbo coupe but I've been dumping all my money into my '02 Celica GTS.

Er... Why would the SVO be a lighter Body?

I believe the hoods are Fiberglass but the rest of the car is the same as a 4 cylinder 'Stang.

Main difference in the weight between an SVO & the GT is the 4 cylinder vs V-8.

Got my eye on a 4 cylinder 85 Capri.

Need a bit more info on doing the Swap, but If I ewere to get this one, I'd swap a lower milage Merkur XR4Ti motor. (Same thing as SVO Mustang except Valve cover)
