true??

mc

nice car btw..

:shake:

Thanks for the compliment *grin*

Damn....maybe I should have stopped if I knew people from here were there...said hello and the like.

Anyways, its a flat 6, 3.3 litre wih 169kW

The brakes are not up to the weight of the car so can get a bit scary on the winding bits but the AWD is great.

Was it an Old Pac run??

Word of advice. Id steer clear of OPH for a while.

There is a police operation on that section of road for the next few months.... you can probably guess why.

The meetings at Thornleigh maccas in numbers are risky also.... 2 out of the last three times i have arrived in thornleigh maccas on a friday or sat night i have rolled in to find at one stage 12 highway patrol cars lined up......scary.

3.3 litre..shyte...man..the car looks light as a feather as well..how much does it weigh??? it looks really glassy to me as in the roof n stuff..i dunno heheh...still cool ...issit an import? or was it sold here locally?

mc:shake:

Its a heavy bugger...1650kg unloaded and with auto means that not quick off the line but once up and moving its quite rapid.

The glass is bonded to the chassis so you can't see any pillars and the roof is black, as is the rear deck, which adds to the illusion that the entire top of the car is glass (thankfully not since already hot enough as it is!!)

Sold new here from 1992 - 1997 - just over 200 odd were sold and 97 currently registered in NSW

My favourite feature are the windows within windows....120/130kph and no buffeting..and quiet at err....higher speeds on private roads :uh-huh:

A WRX engine??? Thats a step backwards!!:)

Have brought it up the old Pac a few times but could not push it till I had a transmission cooler fitted (which is now on it!) but the brakes tend to fade quite rapidly.

Cops hiding in driveways?? On the Old Pac???

Hmmm.......the hoons must be hiding somewhere since I often just cruise around and have to content myself with racing taxi's and STA buses....damn their torque!!:)
