They had a Roush 480HP Supercharged for US40K on the road and a Supercharged 427 Saleen 560HP fopr US53k on the road, they make the old R Spec look a bit ordinary. I have to spend most of 2010 there, 3 guesses what I'm getting. The silver Camaro is an AVIS renter V8 of some description. I didn't bother to open the bonnet but it looked good and went well, not to bad for a Chev. They have a huge placard in the window of all new cars which tells you everything from where the engine and trans are made to average MPG, stopping distance, impact resistance etc. Enjoy Edited 30/11/09 03:24 AM by hypnodoc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
our06t Mmmmm......BOOST Member 3,135 Member For: 17y 10m 1d Gender: Male Location: central coast Posted 30/11/09 04:45 AM Share Posted 30/11/09 04:45 AM if you can keep it over there for 12mnths you can bring it back fairly cheaply can't you . still have to do a conversion on the steering though I guess.I love the roush unit great bit of gear , they are both nice but from reviews I have seen even though the saleen has more power the roush is ment to be a much nicer car to drive , it beat the saleen in top gears track test.

If I didn't know anybody I would agree 100%, but its a great place if you have good friends and associates. It needs the roads done and the streets cleaned but then again so do most Aus cities now. At least the cars are much better value for money. Still theres not too much you can do in a Saleen or a Roush during the almost 24 hour LA gridlock. Maybe that's why they both have such small and pathetic brakes on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
