bit harsh boost, your going to pour though the Petrol but, and not much chance to wind her out in sydney,. for the same money you can have 2 show quality VL's that wont burn through 1/2 the gas.. Plus the Newer cars take out the sensation of speed, sure when you open it up you feel the G's, but you dont get that driving on a knifes edge sensation awsome car but

I dont mind the VY SS we got afew at work as well as a VY Clubsport R8 260 one man that thing is not bad either.. You can get as much kms out of a tank of fuel as a V6 would with most of the new cars.... here is a pic of the company across the road from us they do some damm good jobs there and have some damm find cars as well as the new V8 supercars team had them coming up and down the street the other day good to watch before we started work hehe as to what BOOST ON said well have you driven one before?? do you even know what type of power you can get out of theses cars??? they are damm good cars they had problems with the engine but they have over come it.. it depends how the car is used and when it gets serviced.... here is a pic of a dyno reading from harrop's Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
