    So far I like the vs monaro but I'm not 100% sure yet
    I'm gonna spend about $40,000
    So anyother cars out there worth the 40g??

    Whatever you think is worth $40k, is worth the $40k, not what everyone else says. It's YOUR cash dude, don't ask every person on here, you will get a heap of different reponses. You have a good choice of range with that kinda cash.

    It's as if society expects me to act like a cockmongler when I'm driving the Commodore. People always look at me weird when I go the speed limit, or indicate for more than 2.5 clicks or accelerate moderately off the lights... wtf

    daewoo matiz.. overnight parts from japan and you'll have a 10 second car.

    You have to narrow it down. What do you want in a car? V8? V6? Wagon? Ute?

    Manual CV8Z, it will hold its price better and its something different.

    PERSONALLY, I would go a VZ R8 and spend the change tricking it up.
