you can easily pick up clean VT/VX with the 5,7 LS1 in it for under 10K. And you can get XR6T for just over 10K.
These are two cars which are good in plenty of aspects (no need to mention why, they have already been mentioned numerous time in this thread)
so if you want a quick family sedan/ Sleeper this is your car......
then to talk about current FPV/HSV models...
even top gear speaks highly of these cars http://www.youtube.c...h?v=PkiZdcAR6WU
thier compared with other High Performance sedans. The HSV is half the price and you get a similar thing (obvisouly not the badge, but the rest of the stuff)
0-100 KM
FPV F6 - 5 sec
I would never buy an Australian car new because of the depreciation, but i would consider the ss or F6 second hand.
Basically though, the reason there is an obsession for the falcodore is because we are in australia and you get a lot for your money. The obsession for v8's are because we just copied what the USA did with their cars. and everyone loved them since. The sound, the size, the HP....
the best australian cars arent even Falcadores
