Frank I have to agree with you what a shame The problem is thatĂs all you can get is front wheel drive. The biggest joke was the sales man that sold my wife on the front wheel with traction control was IT IS THE NEXT BEST THING TO FOUR WHEEL DRIVE And she believed his sell pitch I hate it that Gm is trying to jam front wheel down our throat : [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/mad.gif[/img] I am getting a bad feeling

Speaking of rear wheel drive V-8s in our latest issue of Wheels they did their annual test of new cars for speed, both 1/4 and flat out.
One of the stand out performers was GMH's new SV8, a stripped down LS1 four door Commodore with 17x8, spoilers and not much in creature comforts (ie no leather , sports seats , etc )
Ran a respectable 14.1? ( did'nt use a strip so no rubber to help the lauch ) but a very nice 164+MPH top end in the flat out test.
The price , under US$25,000. or about $5,000 more than a V6 Camry here.
Those LS1's are being put to good use.


Australia the Modern VEEE8 Muscle car capital of the World.
