Weren't all Australian cars back then known for chronic brake fade?
And after you use them once, how do they feel the 2nd time.
never specifically called a bathurst option pack but you could option up a standard GTS with everything the top of the range model had except the big engine......and thats where the confusion mostly starts with people claiming there 186s GTS monaro is a bathurst spec car.
) so I have a soft spot for them. Please tell me yours is Indy Orange as its my fav colour!
I got a HK monaro 327 and my old man had a HG way back before i was born (may have been conceived in it
^ I do get easily trivialised on some older car, but not as a whole entirety, as long as I have the correct references that I can back its validity.I'm sorry if you thought it trivialised your choice (never complained about your choice when you posted it) but I did find it a bit dissappointing that a whole new model designation (eg HG) that I thought should qualify (the best of the breed version too not the standard average joe Kingswood or poverty pack) was knocked back over 2 versions of a BMW (320 and m3) from the same model.
I thought i explained in my post why i didnt link them
and I must admit I sometimes forget that not everybody know these cars. If i may enlighten you with a helpful rule when it comes to Aussie Ford/Holden/Chrysler products, the model (eg [HK] [XY] [VF]) is the equivalent to most japanese ( [R32] [R33]) or euro ([e46] [e92]) cars. If they are not significant to justify a new model thay may just add "series 2' or "mark 2" on the end of a model prefix. Welcome to the wonderful world of Australian cars........still not as difficault as some of the American stuff
Ps If you want I could help you with some of the Aussie content as Im pretty much a self confesed car fan (35 years old) and am currently schooling my self in the ways of Americaland through old Motor Trend buyers guides (eg 1977) and excellent Collectible Automobile Magazines, let me know👍
^ Did the link that I personally provided didn't justify anything then? If not please explain, other guys seem to think so.
Maybe i'm blind but I didnt see any E30 M3 requests anywhere? Either way, if the E90 M3 is ever requested does this mean that your request is then bumped/disgarded under the rule #4. Significance - The vehicles must have any performance significance (aero, engine, and handling) compared to the former car, even if it is very minor. So just an appearance packages (like minor bumper, head/tail light packages) just won't cut it. ?

[HG] Monaro-> On your second statement, I would think the [HG] Monaro can be included on the list based not just on your personal opinion but to others as well.
3rd/4th & 5th statement-> I didn't know too much on how the AUDM works until now. But now I know, its sorta similar to USDM (Mustang, Camaro, & Corvette), JDM (Lancer, Impreza, & Skyline GT-R), and EDM (911, 3-Series, & Escort) format, but lesser known compared to others.
6th-> You and Nd 4 Holden Spd can co-op on that one.

I do apologise for my mistake.
^ Got your list in. But I split the PT Cruiser GT into two models:
^ Done deal, I've also added more Ascari's that was transffered from V5.0 and added the Ecosse concept car.
^ Almost all the cars are on the list, except:
^ Got that modified, plus re-configured the links too.
^ It was already added since V5.0, so I just transferred in with the detail you've provided. But thanks for the info and letting us know.-Top Secret-
Toyota Supra [JZA80] V12 Twin-Turbo '07
=Pic=
Japanese tuning house Top Secret recently took their V12-powered JZA80 Supra to Italy's Nardo high speed ring in an attempt to crack the 400kph barrier. Unfortunately, they missed the mark by 42kph, but the end result of 358kph is still nothing to be sneezed at.
What's even more impressive is that they accomplished this feat using an engine that had never before been used in a high performance application: the 5.0 litre 1GZ-FE V12 from Toyota's Century limousine. With twin turbos, a custom plenum and aftermarket management, Top Secret has managed to massage just under 1000hp from the 1GZ, all of which was fed through the Supra's Getrag 6-speed.
^ Done. Plus I've added some E36 M3 and Z3 for historical significance.
^ Heh, heh, I've added it in anyway!My apologies, I didn't request an E30 M3, but your talk of M3s earlier on confused me and I knew I'd requested an E30 of some sort so assumed it was an M3!
Mate, I confused myself to often during the BMW discusion as wellMy apologies, I didn't request an E30 M3, but your talk of M3s earlier on confused me and I knew I'd requested an E30 of some sort so assumed it was an M3!
.
, too many models mixed up with the chassis codes mixed with my 22 month old daughter crying for me to play DORA the Explora will do that . With the whole "most significant model" thing, I too see the benefit of listing car that deserve to be in because they are special....I mean even thought they is an e92 M3, I would still want a e92 335i (ie best of the breed & next best). Thanks TVB, and also I dont envy your job 1 bit-> ...
^ Got that modified, plus re-configured the links too.
BuickGNX88-> I'll get back on your Chevy list. But is it ok if I could add the Silverado looking Astro (also featured in Enthusia)? Your Astro is the pointy version.
^ List updated, I edited some cars on your list, but nothing major. And I've also added the 2005 Astro LT.
^ I have some coments in regards to these two cars.For the S2000 fans like me:
Autobacs ASM S2000 time attack at Tsukuba and Suzuka. The ASM S2000 is the record holder for fastest N/A car at Tsubuka!

A very cool S2000, this car is being owned by Ben Schaffer from Bulletproofautomotive, he is the importer of some very exclusive and wanted parts in the US.
The car has a mix of bodyparts from different Japanese tuners like:
-Tracy Sports
-Powerhouse Amuse
-Top Secret
-Spoon Sports
Each tuner delivered parts that Ben modified to make his S2000 a true one off example.

^ I would like to know on which part of the VWL needs revising. I'm being more and more careful on entering these vehicles as I add it in. What is it do I have to revise? You can PM me if your unable to share it here.
