there is something about 4 turbos & 16 cylinders :)

Just strap 4x Evos together. Cheaper and more powerful.

Plus it's 16-wheel drive. No cheese eating surrender monkey can do that with a VW :)

I think one of the problems is Ni that the P1 cars often end up racking up 50,000km's in 6 months and they are usually HARD km's - so I guess many of these classics just aren't up to that kind of abuse. They probably need something new they can buy and belt around for a few months and then flog off (hence the high car turn over).

Snowy gets 10 out of 10.

Being new (or near new), all our cars are covered by warranty and 24hr roadside assist. Something we NEED to have for 'just in case'.

Some of the other clubs around the world run both classic classics and modern classics - but it's not something we will do any time soon.

That said - Mustang wise, we can look at the new GT-500 Shelbys

Sam - we asked members if they wanted a 599 or LP640, and they chose the Ferrari.

That's not to say we wont get one though - just not right now.

They chose the 599 over the LP640...oh noes....although I guess the average age of most of the members answers the big why question :(

yes of course...

New GT500s are pretty dam hot too tho... same with the new camaro (when its released) and challenger SRT8 but im assuming it wont be viable as there isnt a RHD conversion available

my brother in law has a mighty boy ute if u wanna buy it for P1 l337ness... its pretty sick... red with a thick black stripe through the middle (side on not like racing stripes), polished beetle wheel caps with red steelies and whitewall tyres! Wont have to worry too much about petrol either it only uses about $15 worth for 2 weeks and seeing as the budget is only $500k im sure we can drop the price down for you james to around the $480 mark... mates rates

Interesting that you blokes all picked hot sport cars for the top 10.

I'd have thrown in a Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG, a Maserati GranTurismo and maybe even a BMW X6 as a low points consuming weekday runaround.

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
