    Which is not as far fetched as it might seem. Today some twit hung his phone out the window and started taking pictures of the F50. Naturally his car starts drifting towards the F50.......
    Another twit nearly ran into the back of my CSL because he was doing the same thing a while back.

    Don't know what's going on in the working west; but I saw ANOTHER 430 at Taylors Lakes today. It was hairdresser spec (of course) and Giallo in colour.
    The rego was UAD 899 (Vic), so I guess he was silly enough to get raped by the Victorian Gov on stamp duty and rego.

    today i saw a black monaro "HSV coupe 4" i have NO idea what that is, but man it looked HOT!!!

    also i saw a chick called "suzie" (that was the no. plate) riding a 998s ducati. she looked uncomfortable. those bikes are ridiculous.

    Actually, they make 270kw. Due to the AWD system, they can't fit the proper performance exhaust as they do to the RWD models. or something like that.

    It's not fitted with the GTS Callaway 300kw motor, just the 'standard' HSV 285kw motor. Motor Magazine wrote plenty of articles on this car!

    Probably is a great car to drive but I haven't seen one or then again probably haven't noticed it is more the option.

    Plenty of Cont GT's around the place. And the coast is being over run by H2's at the moment. Saw a white 997 the other day that had the best looking body kit on it. Unbelievable, wish I had my camera on me

    Mate, don't know, and don't particularly care! All I remember is that the HSV LS1 produced 270kw in the Coupe 4 due to the more restrictive exhaust, necessary as a result of the AWD system. If you have any more questions, e-mail HSV! ;):D

    Its alright. Dont really give a f*ck also. My brother is the local HSV guru/bat squeezer. He WOULD email them to confirm that even though it has been published in 20 magazines that have all said the same thing. :confused: hehe

    your kiding right? theres a heap of those old $#!tboxes floating around here in Perth.

    there is in fact even a Limo company here with a couple of Walkinshore limo's and theyre reall Walkinshores that have been chopped, because a V8 yob at my work was complaining about how they destroyed a piece of history.
