This link takes you to the new laws on what vehicles are prohibited.
http://www.arrivealive.vic.gov.au/c_youngGLS_9a.html There doesnt seem to be anything that would suggest that you cant drive the XR6 unless it has been modified. Last edited by MotherNatureVer2; 08-08-2007 at 11:14 AM. Reason: spelling error |

the xr6 is a nice smooth car to drive, and any car that can go 0-100 in under 10 seconds or over 150km/h is fast. Its pretty sad reading on these forums, p plate little boys with hardly any driving experience wanting huge power. thats why the laws are in place, because you dont deserve to drive high powered cars. |

its fine to have a high powered car when you are on your p's, l's or if you are 10 years old not leagely of course, however, the way you drive that car can put you in the "you are going to get written off" list.

you are saying my mums piece of crap au wagon is a fast car. it is stock as a rock with hubcaps and is running like a fat kid towards veggies. (slow as buggery) it goes 0-100 in under 10 seconds easy. in your way the only car we should be allowed to drive is a mini. or a bettle. |

Lets all get an EA 3.3 column auto to drive for 3 years, and when we dont know how to get out of hairy situations, or know how to overtake/merge... Then how many will get hungry for more power, jump into a 190kw BF XT and not know how to drive it because of that extra power on tap?
