Hey guys and girls
Im relatively new to the world of cars and have a lot of questions but no one to ask, And since you seem a well informed bunch I thought I would ask a couple of the most burning ones.
1)Im looking for a commodore/calais but not sure what model to get.Im looking for somethign with a bit of power in it and a few creature comforts but I do like the look of the older models so I'm trying to find a compromise.Does anybody know where I can find a list of models with specifications?

2)I have no idea about performance of an engine apart from the very basics.How hard is it to learn what all the different mods do to the engine and it s performance?

Thats about it for now.I probly sound like a complete idiot but at least you cant point and laugh at me.
thanks in advance people

I spose the best way to answer your question 2 is just to have a good read throughout the forum, theres tons of info there.

then go here for a rough price you will pay: http://www.redbookasiapacific.com/au/vehicle/index.php
