    the obvious answer is get a VS...

    but in all seriousness get something your happy with,
    and by the looks of it you can get a cheaper car with less km's over in the eastern states.

    Man with a spare $18,000 I'd put it on the house but if I had to, I'd buy a restored V6 FX Holden with nice Show Wheel mags.

    you could probably find a ve calais... Depends really what you're looking for. If you want more 'go' than 'show' then get the vy ss... I still love the look of the vy ss anyway! You just need to consider if a v8 is really worth it with petrol sitting at around 152c/lt

    I know you said you wanted a holden but:
    2003 FORD FALCON XR6 TURBO BA Cars For Sale in QLD - CarPoint Australia 1216 1247 1252 1282 4294966285 4294966463 412&PriceTo=412&__Ntx=mode matchallpartial&__Qpb=true&__Nne=15&__Dx=mode matchany
    Then you got 5 grand for mods.
