The 'loser' refers to the Rugby game. They love the car.

Some of the reviews they've given the Monaro on that show match ferrari's, lambos or whatever. They absolutely love it.

I think one of the reviews they said it was the most fun to drive car they've ever been in.

But let the holden bashing carry on :D

Its one thing test driving a brand new car, its another living with it and watching it age, break down and rear its ugly head.

Monaro is a good bang for your buck but matching it against a Ferrari? :D

So are you saying Italian built cars, particularly Ferrari are paragons of reliability & build quality? :( They are actually one of the few makes worse than Holden. :D

Everything is relative. I meant in their enthusiasm for the car.

If the Monaro cost $400,000 I doubt it would be met with such enthusiasm :D

Bang for buck wise, they love it.

No, the Ferrari for what its worth is not reliable at all, they are getting much better these days but in the past the engines had to be rebuilt often.

If you want to put it that way, a Ferrari is merely a status car... definately not worth the price and hassles as a track car unles your Bill Gates.

Historically Ferraris sounded pretty & looked pretty. But they were badly built & handled badly. Their handling is much improved nowadays which is in marked contrast to their looks.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
