That was great reading

The only thing sucked was the prices he was quoting on all the cars.

We are getting D$%K%D in Australia.

I mean HSV...$80K Aus.....M3....$75K in America....lol...I know which I would buy.

Whats an M3 in Australia...$180K

lol havnt read that article yet but corvette ZR1 fanboys where thinking they would own the vspec but apparently it looks like it wont even beat base model GTR round the nurbburgerring. base GTR is 7 min 38 sec, ZR1 apparently looking over 7 min 40 sec. Vspec is hoping for 7 min 25 ish

oh the embarrasment ha ha ha

ZR1 being the first car to come out of america that CAN go around corners, I'd hardly expect it to do well around the ring of hel. Having said that, 7:40 for a first timer is quite amazing.

7:40 for a 2WD road car with mechanical suspension, that isn't some featherweight kit car Lotus 7 copy, is still really impressive.

Most of the 2WD cars in that bracket are supercars like the Carrera GT, Zonda, etc, that would have far more R&D and exotic materials poured into them than the Corvette.

EDIT: Just read that the ZR1's 7:40 time was in the damp, which would affect a 2WD car noticably more than a 4WD one. That time is looking more and more impressive.

yeah...top effort to them. This is actually a better comparison since both the GTR and the ZR1 did their laps in damp condition. Now they need a dry track time for both cars and let the fanboy/interforum fights begin lol.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
