Well its almost time i looked at another car and im looking at a change (not whats under the bonnet though) Im looking at around $35-37K to spend on another LS1 of some type what do you guys rekon...

Im either looking at getting a newer barge or a VY SS

OR

Getting a VX II SS or R8 and dropping some $$$ on it before i drive it what do you think.

If i do the second option Cam or F1 are first on the list then some ripper brakes.

The only reason im looking at selling the car is that i have had someone VERY interseted for a while in my car and he has just made a offer that will be to hard to say NO too???


Anyway im open to your thoughts.


Cheers
Anthony

the r8 is the go, looks great and even comes with breaks that work. a pad upgrade is strongly recommened as the oe pads do suck.

Lots to choose from - get a holden mastercard take advantage of the $4k discount and grab a demo VZ SS - demo's VZ's have been advertised in Brisbvegas Zupps for $40 - $42k.

Low K's second hand Monaro - or I thought I saw a GTO going for $41k a little while ago - anyways good luck with the hunting :)

Go the VX2 R8 (as ScottR8 said the brakes are already there and very capable) and a Gen T system. The S2 R8 also has the toe link at the rear......

Power, looks, brakes........SWEET!!!!

I'd be looking at a new VZSS. See the latest advertisement, you pay what we pay. Holden giving away cars at staff discount rates.

Wont do too many favours for resale.
