Hi Bob,

Don't do that, it might slow you down. Aussie versions look far tougher anyway.

Have you done any engine work?

Cheers,
Nik

No engine work. If I do in the future though, I'll also do a brake upgrade, just seems like common sense to me. I was hunting a set of Brembos on eBay (I know, I know) but I forgot to bid and they sold for the opening bid (AU$1600)

Breyton Race GT Black: 20 x 8.5 (245/35/20), 20 x 10 (285/30/20)

I had to have the rear fender (lips) rolled as I had some scrubbing issues, I kinda still do over HUGE bumps.... but I don't care

Doesnt pontiac have a car that looks JUST like this with a great v8 in it? I mean I saw that car on the road and it looks very nice. I dont know how the car is, but it definately looks really good to me and im sure great bang for buck.

Hi,

While I really love this car, you have to remember how common they are here in Australia. The R8 is an absolute animal, but I've already seen about ten driving around, and I live rurally.

This is definitely one of the nicer examples wheeling around the country though.

Cheers,
Nik

Yup, the G8.
