I know this might be old news but my seaching didnt bring anything up about it in the forum. P-Platers in Vic might be able to drive XU6's again legally.
I was just searhing the vicroads webite and saw that now turbo and supercharged engines less than 100KWs per tonne are legal and between 100 and 125KWs per tonne are legal if you apply for an exemption. Looking at the pdf it seems exemptions are given on the basis of if they like you or not as the criteria is vague. Must be 4 doors. Must be family not performance orinentated.
As we know the XU6 fits in the category where it must get an exemption. but whether one is given or not is the tricky part. The site does list the XR6 Turbo Manual and the WRX Manual as "examples considered to NOT meet the criteria". So it makes you think how a XU6 Auto would go.
Here is the site and the PDF file is where the quote is from.
Lower perfomance turbo or supercharged vehicles : VicRoads
I would love to get an XU6 but i think I would want the exemption before I bought the car.
has anybody heard of this or got the exemption?
