Keeping with my latest budget:
If I didn't get a VP in June my second choice was a Honda Prelude
BTW, don't ask such hard questions! :p

I'd always wanted a 99wrx.. Until every mofo and his dog got one- nearly as common as a commodore it seems.

Then theres the Ford BA xr6t.

Whats my budget, I like some Lexuses, or BMW's.. Hmm, how about a twin turbo Supra.

If it had to be cheap and dodgy, with 6-7 grand, well... I'm stuffed for idea's

Well if there was no Holden, then it would be fair to say Chevrolet would be a mainstream brand in Auz and NZ, so I would have a Z28 Camaro

I'd be cheap and dodgy... Hmmm... very tough question ;).

I might even have to *shudder* purchase a Ford sedan for myself so I get my big car + 6 cylinders... I wouldn't shudder if it was a BA, but I'm a man on a budget ;).

Actually maybe a Mazda 626, an old Liberty or Impreza (only if I can get one in manual). Actually yeah, I'd probably go with an older Subaru.

If Holden didn't exist, we would probably have a BA or some kind of Chevy.

Nothing new...I just want my 1972 VH Charger 265 Hemi 4-speed back!
Sold it when I turned 19 and it was the STUPIDEST thing I have EVER done... :hit:
500 Holley, Cain manifold, ported and polished head, shaved 60 thou, E49-pattern extractors and twin 2" system, E49-grind cam, high volume oil pump and enlarged sump, Holley blue electric fuel pump, 1/2" fuel line right back to the tank, heavy duty clutch, to name but some of the underbonnet goodies...
Dynoed it once and they worked out something like 300hp at the flywheel...can't remember the figure at the wheels, but on back road drags I couldn't get traction off the line...rolling starts were the rule...

I still miss that damn car... :cry:

New cars? Maybe something unusual like an XR6-turbo, although being realistic and within budget, it's probably be something more like a Honda Civic...all riced up of course... :D :D :D
Or any Subaru...I agree with the Liberty GT... ;)
