I e-mailed vic roads.
if you have your Ps before July 2007 the rules don't apply.
this is what the told me.
"The new high powered vehicle restrictions will apply to all drivers issued
a probationary licence from July 2007. This means if you currently hold or
are issued a probationary licence on or before 30 June 2007 then you will
not be affected by the change in the high powered vehicle requirements.
However if you will be issued with a probationary licence on or after 1July
2007, then the new restrictions will apply.
This 12 month lead time is designed to let people know well in advance of
the new requirements of what type of vehicle they should consider acquiring
if they are likely to obtain their licence after this date. The current
exemptions for use for work reasons and exceptional circumstances will
continue to apply.
Information about the current high powered vehicle restrictions are
provided in the following link

High powered vehicles under as of July 2007 are explained in the following
link
http://www.arrivealive.vic.gov.au/download.../GLSA4_FAQs.pdf
Under the new high powered vehicle restrictions, it is expected that the
sorts of non turbo, non V8, non super charged cars that are likely to be
banned include BMW 3 series and M3, Honda NSX, Nissan 350Z or if the
capacity of the car exceeds 115kw/T or more that 205kw.
Regarding your question about green Ps, you will be bound by the conditions
when your original licence was issued. At 1July 2008 you will only need to
serve the remaining period of your Ps, on the Green Ps."
