i will watch out for that show, im in brissy so i guess its different shows here. Theres 5 22b's ai. shit. My bro should of bought the one for $55G, sold within 12hours though :shock: . Im still in shock that the hsv spanked the evo...far out...and on the wet too...there is something sus going on there..how can it beat the evo..that has so much technology centerd on handling...the yaw system i think its called? was on the top gear review, showed how the evo attacked and cut into the corner and lifted the rear wheel where as the sti just ran wide...not to mention the evo's,sti are all wheel drive....and the hsv is only RWD....i having trouble here dude...

well 5 to be exact but only four remains on the road whilst subaru australia kept one for promo.

$55K?!!! are you sure it was the 22B? they go for $100K easy. plus the original owners haven't departed them yet. also there are 3 in nsw and 2 in vic, so i doubt he would of seen one in brisbane unless he was in those two states mentioned.

It wasnt in Australia Dude. It was in Japan and yeah it was a 22B. How did they compliance the 22B in australia? as the wrx was brought in by subaru australia so they can not be complianced in australia.

i think for 55k he might mean the 400 2 door, and 400 4 door sti's they brought in.

btw, monaro isnt about going fast on low traction surfaces, its about lighting up the rear tires on low traction surfaces.

Nah dude it was a 22B, it was not in Australia, was in Japan. And yeah the monaro is about lighting up the rear tires on low traction surfaces

Well i think the skyline would still woop its ass if u ask me. the car looks nice and thats it

hemi_fan · 10-23-2003, 05:03 PM

V8, and its not front-wheel drive. im sold

stracing · 10-23-2003, 10:05 PM

all v8's are rwd in australia, comfort is second priority here

gmd97 · 10-24-2003, 04:54 AM

are there any Front Wheel Drive only v8's? it seems like a lot of torque to be putting through just the front wheels.

all v8s i know of are either RW, or all wheel drive.

altezza · 10-24-2003, 05:46 AM

yes, there are cars using V8 engines with FWD
e.g.:
2004 Cadillac DeVille (4.6L Northstar V-8 (300 hp))
2004 Cadillac Seville (275 hp)
2002 Cadillac Eldorado (300 hp)
2004 Pontiac Bonneville (275 hp)

You got to be kidding,Fwd V8?Think of the torques steer on those cars.

How come GM hasn't designed any new- camaro,Pontiac GTO(well their own GTO) or Corvette?

stracing · 10-24-2003, 07:59 AM

hasn't the camaro been axed?
there is a new corvette, there is a spy shot on these forums

gmd97 · 10-28-2003, 06:14 AM

there are a lot more aussies on here than i first thought.

btw, i reckon u could do one of these up to be as fast as a modified skyline in a straight line. would probably never have the handling though.
