Quickest car for $500?

[greenfoam]

My VN was almost as fast as mortons full weight with stock gears with a 2 ton rated tow bar on it Unless you can find an EA Falcon MPI manual for 500 the VN is the quickest for that kind of money

yeah r31 skyline... light weight and same engine and running gear as vl commodore...

sounds like a comp i saw on top gear lol

-1 from me, the skyline weighs more than the VL

Looking at numbers alone the N/A VS V6 has the greatest power to weight ratio of stock V6 Commodores up until the VZ's with the high output alloytechs; the reality is that that's based on power alone and not other variables such as gearbox and drivetrain components. In stock form the VN could go faster, so I'd also have to say VN Series 1 Exec stripped down - HOWEVER: For $500 you may have trouble finding one with lower km's and a drivetrain that hasn't had the life thrashed out of it.

This is another point to consider; The more worn out the drivetrain components are the less power is produced and more lost before it gets to the wheels.

Noooooo, too slow. He needs a turbo with drift damage

[VT-565]

there is a difference between 'fastest' and 'quickest'...

Which one do you need it to be?

Theres heaps on ebay.

Just go to cars & bikes, put your price from $1 to $500 and watch the magic happen

OP says V6 but I've bought a 253ci V8 VH for $250 I think it was once, drivetrain was alright but body wasn't... could get an old school V8 (if lucky 308, if not 253), would the 4.2L VH be quicker than the 3.8L VN?
