Best looking Aussie Muscle

[Blue Supra]

says who?
they cant sell it if it doesnt comply with crash tests can they?

[Luciferous]

It's got a fully FIA approved roll cage in it, but that meant they had to delete the side intrusion bars, meaning it won't be street legal. Side impact intrusion bars had to be standard in Australian cars since the mid 70's

The cars getting sold as a weekend racer so it can be sold but not registered for the road.

those intrusion bars i think are the biggest thing in grey importing a jap car, you gotta gut upen the doors and stick in some rolled bar so the RTA stays happy

the GTS-R's just basically gunna be what they wanted the 427C to be, except there'll be NO street version

[Luciferous]

Nah the 427C was a balls out supercar whereas the GTS-R is a V8 supercar without the sponsorship all over the sides.

[Blue Supra]

well there you go...

yeh getting those AI bars put in is a bitch, most expensive part of compliancing a car...

[SlickHolden]

Wounder how long it will be before we see that engine in a HSV ?

[Blue Supra]

no time soon id imagine

[Luciferous]

It'd have to be in a Monaro shell because the body is a lot stronger than the sedans. The VT platform is getting pushed to it limits so expect to see some big numbers when the VE comes out...

[Blue Supra]

thats not for another 2 years or so
im lookin forward to the VT hitting the big depreciation slump after 8 or so years get one for 8k or so then

[Luciferous]

Yes yes quite the hardcore tuning for the GenIII should be expected

[Blue Supra]

youll see all the damn P plater punks in their mad VT commis, i envy P Platers in 5 - 10 years from now, theyre gunna have the best damn cars for so cheap its just not fair

[Luciferous]

Yeah we're all stuck with Sunny's and VL's and they get VY's and BA's. Jerks.

And think how cheap Supra's will be then Bluey....

[Blue Supra]

well series 3 Supras are around 10k still, and theyre more then 15 yo. if they dont make another newer supra then id expect them to stay around 25k for an RZ for quite some time. the erliest series 4 is 11 yo and they still cost 30k an 11 yo commi is like 4k if that

[Luciferous]

Yeah true... Have you heard the new Supra may be packing a V10 ala BMW M5

[Blue Supra]

ive heard MANY things about it over the last few years, im not getting excited til i see a concept or somthing solid.
