SLI works a lot better than you'd think actually, I had 2x GTX 460's for a while. Found the lack of video ram and the fact that Nvidia don't optimise new drivers SLI profiles for older cards to be the biggest problem (i.e about a year after release only the 5xx cards were having optimizations done). The amount of scaling that you'll get depends from game to game as well (compared to one single powerful GPU). I also recommend both having a decent sized case, and using reference cards. Microstutter is more an issue for tri SLI and AMD Crossfire setups; I wouldn't worry about it. Buy the fastest rated RAM with the loosest timings for the best price, it'll make more of a difference than latency these days, but neither is it really worth spending big dollars on

started playing through the first two in anticipation

used to get a lot of Frank Zappa records played to me as a kid amongst others, bit of a tripper.

my favorite song from Illmatic - it wasn't an album I liked on first listen, but the lyrics have a subtlety lacking from many others of the same era

ls1 is a good upgrade

loving that album, good choice mane

a bit of metal to mix things up

love this video clip hahaha

why do i have this love of hilariously terrible modern rap!

the filmclip to this is oddly captivating hahaha

Just checked out most of these albums, you are a true connoisseur of 90s rap/hip hop.

N/A people who have actually gone to the effort of building a tough N/A RB too.

Rhymes Like Dimes = killer track!

there would be a certain irony in you leasing the Winfield R32 back to BAT though

I wish I was on 55-60k! But then again I don't live in the city. Cowboy1600 is right though. If and when I buy an import again, it's going to have an LS stuffed into it, these engines give me a hard on! I wish I'd had enough to spring for a HSV; they are just that bit 'nicer' than a regular commo. ESPECIALLY the LS3 variants. It would also give me a legitmate reason to purchase HSV branded clothing

everyone on here can also help by buying a locally made Holden or Ford

Yeah I'd read that the X series sales boom was mostly due to selling pov pack models to fleets. Ford's first mistake was to get rid of the V8s, and the second to not market them well (or even really make a desirable variant of) when they reintroduced them.

Can't say that my VZ feels cheaper than my ol' R32, quite the opposite actually! Mine was looked after by the looks of it though and I've kept it that way. For the price I could not buy anything Jap made of the same age with the same sort of potential. The VE especially is very underrated, I challenge any of you to take one for a test drive, with an open mind and tell me they are a POS, especially the V8 variants. Same goes for the F6/5.0 GT. Boaty is the last thing that springs to mind with the sports models, let alone one with a decent suspension setup. R33 owners should not be throwing rocks btw

It's a combination of factors such as changing preferences for transport, the perception that big cars use lots of fuel etc etc. Gotta remember the VE was designed and engineered BEFORE the GFC as well. These threads seem to be an annual thing on Commodore forums; the more cynical suggest that it is the car companies way of ensuring more handouts. Even things such as a lot more people choosing to do novated leasing over buying second hand fleet cars (which incidentally in many fleets have all been changed to diesels) Unfortunately Commodores and Falcons are seen as taxis and old man cars, the newer models are actually really good bang for buck. Ford's marketing are it's biggest letdown - the supercharged GT and turbo variants are absolute animals for factory cars, yet you barely hear about them (that and brand image with bogans) The biggest contributing factor of all IMO is the tastes of the majority of the car buying public have changed, and the big two have been caught a bit unaware. You can cling onto the narrow minded Liberal voter viewpoint of "blame the unions" if you like, but it really is a number of factors.
