DrewBytes Member 95 Member For: 21y 7m 27d Location: Canberra Posted 28/09/03 12:27 PM Share Posted 28/09/03 12:27 PM Either way you can't go wrong, but the Clubbie is a great buy at that price. Add $1500 on top of the purchase price for a mafless tune and you'll have a 300kw car (if that's what you after).BTW I can average 13-14 l/100km driving around Canberra, including a reasonable amount of fanging, and around 10 on the highway. Of course 15-20 is certainly possible if you fang it all the time!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I lied about that last bit, but it's still a good car. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Turbomax Guests Posted 29/09/03 05:20 PM Share Posted 29/09/03 05:20 PM Decisions decisions. Make it even harder to decide by considering if you put an APR stage 2 kit on the T (or similar) and a suspension kit!! Still less than the Clubbie and a damn side quicker! Good luck.How about a Vortech on the clubbie.......just kidding....you need to concentrate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could go on and on and on! I Can't Get Enough of This!Pocket the saving and go for the T. Otherwise check out the XR8!TURBO6MAN : Not sure if the Clubbie would get in too many laps on th track, as they still appear to be prone power steering pump failures.
