I remember when I was on my P's I wasn’t allowed to drive a 308 how is it for you since you own a VT Calais 308 5Lt?
I know on my L's it wasn’t a problem but when I hit my P's my HQ Monaro had a 253 4.2 and that was fine.
I love the ride very nice I think many chicks will dig this vehicle!!

Just a quick note no links to other automotive forums thanks!!! :D

umm yer that was a problem i had to get it weighed and it weighed in at 1.78tons so it passes on power to weight and capacity to weight so yer... its all good and its all legal. :D

edit: btw, its a 304ci (EFI) not a 308 like the carbys were :)

$19,000... bought it off our mechanic so its in beautiful condition. hes bought himself a WH statesman international, black, with a genIII, hes got a couple chips in it touched up, has lowered it, put bigger mags on it, had the windows tinted, and put a sports exhaust on it, all in the first week!

cant wait to see it. drove past on the way to school the other day and saw it sitting in his shed up on the hoist.
