[32line]

hahah, ur friends are freggin delusional....buy a stock r32gtst, and watch ur friends vs commo's dissapear in the distance behind u.

v6 VS commo's are slooooow....even the VS V8 aint quik...

the other car i drive is a ford au fairmont auto. this car feels pretty damn quick when you floor it. would i get the same sort of rush from a completely stock r32 gtst or is it out of the falcons league (being a 2002 model car)?

also, does the stock bov in the gtst give off a nice loud pshhhht?

thanks

Hey man,

If your looking for a clean R32 GTS-T ready for you to do mods, why dont you buy mine? Im selling it for $7,600, ive dropped the price down heaps because the drivers side window is not working (cabling is caught) and also I am getting a work car and at the momment im better off with one car financially.

I have a new RB20DET engine in mine and its pretty good, good enough to beat a VS stock. I reckon if you added a intercooler and tweaked with the boost it'll be a killer engine (for a budget mod). The car is pretty stock so its up to you if you want to make it a high end performer, but I can say now its pretty quick! The stock turbo is excellent, boost smooth and sounds good when you drive (spool + exhaust + bov = nice)

Exterior is pretty clean too. New tyres. Registered.

Let me know if your keen.

- If your ford fairmont auto gives you a "rush" then when you get an r32 gts-t you are in for a treat. I drive my parents 3.5lt v6 magna (150kw) and it is resonably responsive but the power from my car leaves it for dead.

- My 32 gts-t when completely stock (except for a very shit and cheap cat back which I am sure was not helping performance at all - its long gone now) did 0-100km/h in 6.57 seconds with a G-tech metre. Show me a VS commodore v6 that close to that.... they are shit slow, so are the supercharged variants and even the 5.0litre V8 would be on par with a 32 but quite possibly slower (especially auto)

- An r32 gts-t weighs 1320kg..... a VS commodore is over 1500kg.... your mates sound well informed!!

- A cat back exhaust does shit all other than change the sound of your car. An exhaust is only as good as its thinest piece. If you pump water through a series of pipes the water can only get through as fast as the thinest pipe will allow...same goes for exhast gas out the back of your car! The quicker you get used gases out of the engine the quicker you can bring in new air and petrol! That is why a turbo back 3" the whole way is required and will give a noticeable power increase as it did in my car.

- That "pshhhht" sound will always be there because the turbo has a blow off valve but in a dead stock car it is relatively quiet. Put a pod filter ($50 - $100) on and you will hear it much louder and with the exhaust its better again.

- This site has lots of info so the more you look around it and read various posts the more you will learn. If you are budgeting $10k for your r32 that is fine but it will not be perfect, i.e - paint might be f*ked, or engine has had it, etc etc so in my opinion such a car is not "clean", but as you go you can fix it up the way you want it and it will become better.

BEST OF LUCK
