what is the power to weight ratio for GTS4?
-
It was a joke mate, you'll say the same thing when you're off your Ps.
its ok i got that it was a joke. i already use it when i see p platers trying to race at lights or driving modified v8s and turbos. but as somebody trying to follow the law it does get tough

Get a latest gen VTi-R Prelude. It's the perfect P platers car. Still good looking, light, economical, reliable, sporty feel. They handle reasonably well and will break into the 6's for a 0-100 when driven well + the basic N/A mods. Ignore the FWD stigma bullshit - if you think people are going to laugh at you for that, they're going to laugh at you more for drag racing in a slow P plater car regardless of what drivetrain configuration you have.
Keep in mind some states have laws against P platers having ANY modifications to their cars, so it kind of defeats the point of going legit with a non-turbo car if you have plans to modify a Supra etc.
Most people on the road cannot drive a manual for shit, let alone drag with it. If you're playing traffic light heroes, an automatic 0-100 in 8 second car will beat 90% of the people driving manual 0-100 in 7 second cars. There's no such thing as a bad launch or a sloppy gear change.
Oh yeah, bloody P platers.
Birds - Please try not to group all P platers together some we are not all the same.
As for Mods I agree. why worry about whether the car is turbo or not when any mod is illegal. exhaust mod only or a rb26dett the law sees it as the same "high performance" car. sure the cops may forgive an exhaust mod but will your insurance company do the same if you wrap it around a tree. remember part of your insurance agreement is that you must be legally allowed to drive the car.

another quick car that you wont fins may people going around in is the Ralliart Magna. FWD I know but very limited production and had great proformance stock. recaro seats and a decent sports exhaust stock from memory around 11k to buy. looks really tough IMO and the cops should leave you be as its a magna.
something I would look at if you wanna test what vic roads will give an exemption to would be the HSV XU6. needs an exemtion for the supercharger but it does fit within their definition of a family car and has a power to weight ratio of just under 125KW.

I wish ohhh how I wish this was non-turbo.
It looks like it is in mint condition.
good luck though.

having read this and kinda being in the same boat here is what I can tell you from my experience.
From all my research the NA imports that you are looking at are slow (there is a reason that people mostly bought turbo versions). If you want to get a good car look at one where turbo's / superchargers werent an option. MX-5 is a perfect example, its light and quick, I have a mate with one and in the right colour with the hard top it looks fantastic. Plus who cares what others think about it being girly. another example of a good RWD you might want to look at that people call girly is the new MR2s.
I would suggest a V35, It what I will get once i have saved up enough and put a deposit on a house. just remember that as a P plater in Vic you can only get a sedan V35 the 350GT is on the prohibited list.
At the moment I am driving a "boring" VS commodore and while i dont go hooning or compete in the traffic light grand prix it is more than quick enough off the mark for me and has the power to let me over take on a freeway and undertake a tram.
To add to that I am sure I would have written of an import if i got one straight away. at least if i have an accident in the VS I dont care. I know this coz when I was on my Ls I scraped it on a pillar and wasnt to worried.
any way just my 2 bobs worth.

I dont know what stage you are currently upto but if you have pics please post. I would love to see.
-
sorry to hear about that mate I hope you get it all back.
Times like this you wish that if the person that did it were found you could unleash some good old fashioned mob justice.
-
great car mate. have you considered keeping it and dropping a turbo engine in? it already looks the part.
As great as it is I doubt how many P platers can afford a 16k car especially when with that money you can get a manual coupe r34 in decent condition (both trubo and non-turbo).
-
for the CBD i have been told that EARL Canteen is the best place. I have a friend that swears by the place.
As for myself. me and ppl from work love driveing to footscray for viet pork rolls. best value at 3.80 each
-
correct me if I am wrong. but you are looking for mods yet you are a p plater. Mods are illegal for P Platers. cops and insurance may allow an aftermarket exhaust but I have always thought that extractors are considered engine mods and hence illegal.
so if your going to drive a car that the cops consider illegal you may as well just get a turbo and be done with it.
if your looking for a car with power that you can legally drive ( and please dont flame me) the VN Commodore is a good care wont look as good as your r33 but would no doubt beat it every time.

Hey LKC i will try to add this as a post cant send you a pm until I have 10 posts
Hey mate DW I will sms you
-
I gotta say having opened this thread and not seen the original I am confused and disapointed. I was hoping for a wasteland style thread.
-
is there a reason that you are comparing the FPV ute to the holden when its natural comp would be the HSV Maloo.
as for which one to choose I have always loved holdens and grown up around them but from the BA onwards from a looks perspective the Fords have my vote.
Is there really any need for that much power in a ute though?
-
mate thats a nice car.
If I still lived up in Forster I would defs buy it from you. but at that price and then having to get it to melbourne its out of my reach.
Good luck

It was my first DECA but I must say I had a great day. cant wait till the next one. might even enter my car.
-
Glad to hear you and your bro are alright.
-
I might consder getting it after payday.
continuing the theme of the end of AC2. was there anybody else who was amazed that the pope was so strong "for an old guy". (ignoring the fact that it was the end boss fight. I just feel that for an old geezer he had alot of fight in him)
-
hey Ash. I got my membership pack today. thanks.
can you make me a vic club member on the site now.
thanks
-
great car mate I keep seeing it on carsales. is there any mods or anything done to it?
-
I wish I had the money. That would make an amazing convertible. Please somebody do it.
-
I cant wait to get this game if it is anything like AC 2 then a month of my life is some how going to go missing and I wont know what happened.
-
Go to Just Car. it will be better but not my much. when I was looking at it for a R33 non-turbo auto with no mods they quoted me ~2600 so its cheaper than RACV but still im would be considered the same as you. 20 yrs old and only had my license 5 months. that said even with non sports car your going to get high costs for comp insurance i was quoted roughly 2k for my commodore to be given comp from just car. young male drivers no matter what your record will always get high premiums.

Is that the same GTR that was at the show n shine on the weekend?
very sexy car I must say.
If cars must be brought in stock to Aust how exactly were you able to bring that in and comply it when it is so modded? or have the mods been done since its arrival?
