[DAWSEY]

until last year the wrx was only a 2 litre. so I imported a motor from denver in 2.5L

we can get almost anything you guys have over there. what I want from the u.s are all the aftermarket tunning and products...

I saw a F 150 Lightning just last week,when I was checking out our cars for work on freo wharf.

I love it and took some pics of it on my phone.

Before I bought the phoon, I looked into the saleen supercharged mustang through mustang australia they were awesome cars straight off the showroom floor, $170K no negotiation, three months wait, not allowed a test drive (drove the standard V8 mustang and was disappointing at over 100K),

20K deposit. Only 5 in australia at the time. I enquired through Saleen in US and really the pricing should have been approx 120K inc. rh drive conversion and all taxes and gvt charges.

That's just crazy. A Saleen Mustang is not worth that much in my book, even being so rare down there. The standard Mustang v8 could be had for $23k US here in the states... its amazing they actually sold for $100k AUS there. I guess it's all about the exclusivity, becuase it certainly wasn't a high-performance machine worthy of the price-tag. ( Personally, I'd take the phoon over any thing Saleen makes, save maybe the S7).

They better be bringin the new Camaro down here!!!

I'm torn between the new Camaro and the new Challenger. You guys see the concept car of the latter? It's due out in 2009, with the same 6.1L 420 hp the Chrysler SRT-8s have. Quite a badass car imho. But the new Camaro looks awesome too. Of course, the Shelby GT500 is also amazing, but unlike the others, is outrageously expensive ($70k US, more than an Audi RS4).
