Bomber Carnage on the Garage Floor Donating Members 3,994 Member For: 14y 9m 20d Gender: Male Location: Gold Coast Posted 21/02/11 07:21 AM Share Posted 21/02/11 07:21 AM (edited) Interesting and again only a guide but Redbook reckon the auto is a couple of grand cheaper. Bang for buck potential second hand is looking unreal. It will be the best of both worlds. I'll get the V8 soundtrack back, it will be quicker than my turbo and dust off anything HSV has on offer for around 40k.

They say you can find a second hand 5.0L Supercharged 2010 GT for 55-60k now.. when it's only 4 months old.. Resale value of these cars are bad, but not THAT bad..Wait some months before we look at resale on the Miami's..Yeah they are hard markers but dealers use it and others to gauge prices. Like HSV though mate, first up owners get a spanking. Edited 21/02/11 07:34 AM by bomber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a new car because they gave me a good deal on it. Sure, I could have waited for a second hand "business" car that's been flogged the hell out of, but meh.. I wanted one to flog myself..

The rear end setup is useless under power and the axle tramp issues with the FG have not been addressed. The chassis cannot handle the turbo 6 let alone a supercharged V8.

Guest XR09 Guests Posted 23/02/11 07:56 AM Share Posted 23/02/11 07:56 AM You can fix the tramp. A decent set of matching springsand dampers with the superpro bushes. I dont suffer any. As for the front end pushing under power... That I don't think will ever be fixed till we can get wider rubber legaly under the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
