Ok so Im thinking about the next car.
I have around 30 grand to play with.
I want a larger car this time, fairly stock, not cop baity, reliable and no older than 2005.
After something I can cruise around in and just enjoy.
So far I have come up with
-VY R8 Clubsport
-VY, VZ, VE SS
-CV8 Monaro
-BF Falcon F6
Im not too keen on Ford V8's as theres already 2 of them at my house and they shit me to tears.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Coupes are better (but not newer =/)

If you want 05+ and V8 manual, your stuck with aussie cars... Wish you luck...

Pretty much good standard power and Manual is a must.
^that poor monaro has a yellow sticker but exactly what im after

So? Its over east and rediculously cheap anyway. Pass pits here in any case?

And its a HSV GTO = more better than Monaro....
Yes, I said more better

[Tiddy]

Ayy where do you pull these pics from haha

[Tiddy]

Hmm i might look into that one

Yes I know KMs are highish, but BMWs go on FOREVER if maintained properly... Getrag gearbox = you wont be breaking it (hopefully, lol).
Price of one with 100kms = 45-50k....

Lots of SC kits available too....


Edit: lol, theres an antilag thread somewhere of this M5 which lived off limiter only, nothing less hahaah

Damn cool mercs being autos....

[Tiddy]

Those kms look scary
Quite a nice car tho. The only problem I have with that is with high mileage things start to go wrong, which is what im sick of

Fair enough. You could get an inspection/comp test etc?

And if you bought a Euro, my dads mechanic would be happy to work on it....... (Ex Barbagello head mech, only does supercars now but does our shit cause we friends)

BTW, STI actually gone?

EDIT: Wow fuck. Does this convince you?

[Ten Four]

FUCK. SELL SUPRA BUY THAT M5. IM KEEN!

[Tiddy]

Geez! Haha thats nuts! Is it stock?
Someone is coming to have a look next week, I just need to buy some rims and tyres and away it goes hopefully.

[Ten Four]

Yea stock. Euros ownnnnnn. My lil 255rwhp M3 could have topped 280-290...

Youtube, heaps of other E39 M5s doing 300kmh runs.... Fk, I want one lol.

GL with rexy man...

EDIT: lol going through all that poster's other videos, he gives his M5 shit! Nurburgring vids, plenty of others too!

Description: 3 men inside, full laggage, street tyres, stock car. Driven by former racing driver.

Stop mucking around and get a farken bike!!! They're made tone thrashed!! Haha.

Other then that, my preference for the Falcodores are;
Ute
Monaro
Sedan
Every man and his dog has a sedan Commy, where as the utes and Monaros are easier to stand out in.

every second or 3rd man has a V8 sedan but pretty much every ute u see is a 8 and they r all exactly the same

[NA_Goodness]

But you don't see the utes that often, that's my point. And it's not hard to make it stand out. If I had the money, I'd definstrly have s VU SS as a daily! I was thinking about a VR or VS 5L but they're still around $7k with 300,000kms!

Bikes aren't gay, you are! Lol

[Tiddy]

I want a sedan or coupe tho, I had 3 utes and they were quite annoying. Would be handy for carting stuff around but I will have a work van soon so theres no point.
Im seriously thinking Manual VY R8 Clubsport.
