Rexx Posted October 31, 2006 Author Share Posted October 31, 2006 TrailBlazer SS Silverado SS 6.0L LS2 Small Block V8 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TrailBlazer SS redefines the “sport” in Sport Utility Vehicle with a Corvette-based 6.0L LS2 small block V8. It generates 395 horsepower and 400 lb.-ft. of torque, taking TrailBlazer from zero to 60 in under six seconds. Both are AWD. As most of ya'll know I'm from Texas and I'm kinda partial to these two choices. They fall within the price rage but shipping on converting from LHD to RHD is about another 25K.

Wink Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I honestly could not drive such a big car - I picture struggling to get into carpark spots etc. The biggest car I would drive is the Mercdes ML class of 4wds.

Rexx Posted October 31, 2006 Author Share Posted October 31, 2006 Wink you know the trailbalzer is about the the size between the Nissan Xtrail and Pathfinder. I wouldn't call it big. There is a lot bigger and the Silverado well its long but not too bad but is bigger more like longer than the trailblazer.

Four wheel drives are for towing, off roading, enlarging egos and running over children in school carparks, and since I have no need for any of these functions I would feel I would just be wasting such a machine.

LOL well I dont see too many GTR's towing a 20 foot boat...even if it is AWD...LOL Honestly these arent 4WD in the sense of off road more like the AWD drive type cars.

GT-R32 Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 The red S3 R33 GTR VSpec for sale here. S8 RX7 EVO 6 or 7 if I could stretch it. Latest model possible TT Supra Typhoon if I could stretch it (again). Latest model possible Monaro. E36 M3. Or a heap of different older car options and a daily: Mustangs, RX3, R100, RX2 Coupe, Monaro, most likely Cosmo 110... Dodge Challenger... a heap of old Chryslers etc etc etc. I have no shortage of ideas which is probably why I have had so many different cars since having my licence 5 years ago.

predator Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Evo VII or VIII for sure. Only a few years old too.. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/140044-what-would-you-get/page/3/#findComment-2641586 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wink Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Evo VII or VIII for sure. Only a few years old too.. My prediction is that Evos will become the new Skylines (as in their popularity) The 9 is already popular due to it being a fullblown import by Mitsubishi Australia and I see more 6s and 7s around due to the recent import laws allowing them in. 6s and 7s are now affordable ($25-$35k) for many young people just starting off their careers. Add to this they are fairly new, highly moddable, faster than any Skyline GTS-T/GT-T and have decent looks. Within a few years the used 9s will come on the market, saturating the used/imported Evo market even further. Add to this, Mitsubishi seeing the popularity of the 9, will also import the 10.
