Porsches. I'm a sucker for the Porsche flat-6 rumble.

A man with good taste! I'm also a sucker for a porker! :P

When I was in the states I would drool over a Corvette. But I almost orgasamed over Vipers. That V10 sound just has to be heard to believe!

Forgetting the cars i will only ever see in magazines or Burrows drive day it would have to be:

- any 57-65 Vette :P

- 92-96 Vette especially ZR1s and Callaways

- Tough 68-69 Camaros

- Tough 65-68 Mustangs

- 1994-Present TVRs

Or tough as nails modern track cars like GT3 Porka or Lotus Exige , TTV8 Espirit... oh if only i was rich

Anything that does under 14 seconds in stock form from the factory makes me smile.

As a man with simple tastes, any R34 GTR makes me break my neck when they drive past, even if its stock.. :D

Yeh i think the thread went missign when the forum went down earlier in the year.

I would kill for that '69 Camaro...My Powerball winning would be well spent ...hell its even the right colour:)

I love:

Group B Rally Cars that were banned- peugeot 205, lancia 037, lancia delta s4, audi quatro.

Old Mustangs, Monaro's, Impala's and other low riders...

Alfa gtv's, all skylines, supra's, rx7's (series 4 up), pritty much most jap imports...

Did you know a rally driver names Henri Toivenen in 1986 took the lancia delta s4 round Estoril the Portugese F1 track and the time he got would have placed him 6th on the grid for the F1 that year. Saddly in Corsica Herni Toivenen died and Group B rally cars came to an end.

take it easy

Have u ever actually seen one on road in Australia though?
I haven't seen one yet but they also have not been here for very long....

I am sure after being at the motorshow that someone with too much money should pick one up....

I think there are a lot more exotics down in melbourne though....

Well if you are in Sydney just keep your eyes OPEN :(

Article from A.I.M.S. here: http://carsguide.news.com.au/aims/story/0,...6-28977,00.html

"The three firm orders are all from Sydney, all have property development as their core business and all are in their 40s."

Looks nice in black.

Not too many S4's on Aussie roads though makaveli, but they sure were awsome cars.

They took the S4 in race trim around one of the F1 tracks in '86 or 87 (can't remember which one) & it would have qualified 6th on the F1 grid at that track that year!

    • I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp
    • Forgot to mention that these are the before pics when I first got it!
    • Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆
    • Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
