Light???Light???????????? They are 1350kg cars hahaha! I have more respect for them for driving cars with big power, big weight & skinny minny tyres IMO!

Bloody commodore drivers, thinking that 1350kg is a light car lol! Its just that your commodores are porkers hahaha!

My Subaru even has nearly about 100kg less weight than a that, it tips the scales at 1242kg (on the last weighbridge ticket for my compliance plate). Only 320 or so hp though, wish I had 600

i drive my VX SS like its a Barina Mcrow, but ive had V8's since i was 18, so im quite used to the weight, other cars just dont feel right anymore, kinda feels like go kart driving.

if your trying to save fuel then thats ok, but if your not, BORING!!

i nearly always do 10kp/h over the speed limit all the time been 70k's over the limit so far haha! and still haven't been caught.

i reg have it off the clock, i do a fair amount of highway driving and normally i just dont have the patience for 100kph, 240+ is the way to go.
Havent been caught yet but i did get a multinova flash (speed camera) but never got the ticket, prob missed me in the pic id say

Cracked 215kph in the Old Mark 2, valve bounce in 4th still had a gear to go too.

i hate the P plate laws

My clock goes to 320 - haven't had it that far yet, but been up over 250, which is quite an achievement on NZ roads...

as do i... stuck with my non tubro suubi. i swear sometimes i can hear it whizzing, it wants a turbo, i want a turbo... stupid government and their cotton wool tactics, thats why people are getting in fights in the city, becuase they aren't allowed to settle it on the streets anymore!

hahaha that was during the toyota cruise, we passed 20 odd cars in a 1.5km overtaking lane, the only car to give us a go was the v8 soarer.

might have to put a pic up of the mobile artillary soon

V8Supercar $300 million deal

Sorry but what is the point of having more manufacturers when the cars are all exactly the same anyway?
This is seriously why I don't watch the Supercars anymore, since project Blue Print it just doesn't have the same 'feel' anymore. I miss the old days when we basically had modified road Falcons and Commodores on the track. Even before that when we had all manner of manufacturers in the game it was more interesting than the team based sport it is now.

As a Holden fan, I'm going to continue blaming this on Ford and their poor sportsmanship (please note the sarcasm, please, no flame war intended)

Ca çhing! money makes the world...and the cars go round

He was already in a ford, but he was running his own team and had no real success with triple F racing

With the COTF does is really matter whether the sign says FORD or HOLDEN anymore?
