Prices in the US are better than in Australia as well, mainly contributed to the face the Australian market is so small.

Four door 182kw BA Falcon money gets you a base model 3 door Focus in the UK or the USA or *half* a 316 compact in Germany!

PS Name one other 'factory showroom supercar' with a 240kw turbo engine (on 7psi!) available for under AU$50k. The closest thing would be a BMW 330 Coupe or a Porsche Boxster - both around the $100k mark.
PPS Name one 'factory showroom supercar' made in New Zealand!!

Is there something in the water in Christchurch? Laughing at our
high performance fords and holdens.
What about when the supercars came over to Pukekhoe (? spelling)
just a few weeks ago. Pretty fast taxis!!!!
These taxis are now doing better times than the works GTR's were
doing ;-) Cheers,

Gee this is getting wanky.

Get with the program,,

P.S
Bathurst is a total JOKE,,supercars Ha ha holden and ford DONT
MAKE SUPERCARS.THEY MAKE TAXI'S.
-----Help me,
Don't get me wrong - I'd buy one if I found one for sale -
but what is so special about a P510SSS ? Let's face, they're
NOT a Falcon GT (where stock original is worth more than
modified and big name people invest mega bucks in them). All I
see is a couple of small SU type carbys on an L16 with a bit
more compression and a great looking dash. Interior is nothing
special, wheels & brakes are the same, same floor shift 4
speed as the standard 510 etc..
I am aware of supply vs. demand, but even in today's special
events such as Targa Tassie and Classic Adelaide, Datto people
are calling their cars H510SSS with L18, even though they are
P510s (originally fitted with L16s).
I see some of these bullshit prices floating around for
P510SSS equipment that's not that special and yes I'm confused.
Rick, are you missing the SSS rocker cover (with three full
ribs)? Maybe I didn't quite pick it up in the photos. Nice
original find anyway.
