    Default what should i blow my money on..

    plan is, i sell my vn calais, and by the time its sold i should have a total of 5000, and then 2 months later i'll get prob another 4000, im just on my l's, but hey, im 16, i got people who have full lisences who will cruise with me and let me do burnouts in the middle of nowhere, i want my car to go hard, but not be really noticable, so i want stock height, no real body mods, and a stock or performance exhaust system but if its performance its gotta be quiet as shit cause i dont wanna get a cam and yella terra roller rockers and the rest of it and have it sound like a v8, basicly my question is what car should i buy, i was thinkin a vr simply because i've heard their engines have the most get up and go outta the commodores, vp's/vn's have similiar engines but i think vps look like duds when they stock, so that rules them out, and i've got a lemon vn so i aint gettin another one. if anybody has a better idea for a car for me (be it a falcon, valiant, commy, whatever) let me know, and give a valid reason.
    Cheers,
    Steve.

    stick with vn /vp, they will go better than the vr because they are lighter, if a v8 isnt a prob go for vn/ vp ss or bt1 and fix it up a bit.

    Also, OP, you should stick with the VN/VP. The Buick V6 goes harder than the Ecotec, and won't blow up as soon

    LMAO.... I can only suggest 1 car with an attitude like that...... a VL.... Some even come pre-wrapped around trees.

    OP, the VNs aren't so bad. The VR/VS is getting to the point where they're just as unreliable anyway

    lol tom i dont want a 3.3, i was dead set on a vl cause i love the look of the calais front end, but im not allowed a conversion when im on my p's, which means im stuck with the 3.3 and yes, as i and the other fool has stated, im young and dumb, so power is #1 priority.

    I swear...the next person who posts a bullshit post will take a break, already had to delete 10+ posts in a small thread in issue infractions.

    Either answer, or stfu.

    your stuck between a rock and a hard place really. Laws restrict you from having anything that goes hard. There are so many quick cars out there now days you are prob just better off having a nice v6 commo to cruise around in until you can legally mod it.
    no longer a hoon by association - the commodore is gone

    You wont win anyone with your attitude for starters, secondly the VL had the RB30 nissan motor with is a 3ltr straight six, not the 3.3 ltr 202.

    And i would recomend a VL/VN/VP for you. Something that isnt rare, cause looks like its not going to survive anyway. And your not gonna get a half fast car with your p plate restrictions anyway, without a v8 or forced induction.

    Minux, No fair on deleting my last post lol
