and a SR20VET also hopefully.... you did know the GT Models came with them factory aye.. and an extra 130KW is always good for racing the other mums for the best parking spot at the soccer fields :smoking:

Haha, yeah I've heard about the GT's in Japan.

They have 206kw compared to my 125kw. So a bit more go but they are only available in manual I think as the CVT can't handle that power.

It was this ad that sold you right? I was in the US when it came out... lasted about 2 months before someone kicked up a stink about something. Damn pikies.

Yeah I hate the older ones with the cluster in the middle. Plus the interior finish in those didnt seem as nice.

Really can't compare this to the clubby. The ride in the clubby was amazing, in this it's, uneventful.

But that was sort of the idea. I love blending in and not worrying about being oulled over etc.

I am planning on taking it iut in some mud. Though being on road tyres it may be interesting.

My missus has a 2010 ST and they are surprisingly good off road. Did a day at Stockton beach. Dropped the pressure to 15psi and she went everywhere the other 4wds I was with went. Ripped off a flimsy plastic guard underneath though

Need manual for them Hektik launches thou... I had a CVT M6 in a P11 wagon, smashed the front to bits, put a "hole" in the rad/oil cooler. only had first gear for just on 10ks of driving - had f' all fluid but did get it home.. good old slip-tronics..

So, this Saturday was the first time I towed my boat with the Sextrail.

I have to admit, I was surprised at how well it performed given the boat+trailer is really at the top of the car's towing limit.

It did rev about 1500rpm higher than it would without 2T behind it and getting up to 100kmph was slow. Once at the speed it towed well and I felt quite comfortable.

I was a little worried about the ramp and the hill up from the ramp. Those familiar with Mt.Martha cove ramps will know it's a bit steep getting out of there. But no problems pulling the boat out or up.

Very pleased to say the least.
