How much

[Bonnie and Clyde]

Popped into Slaters Colwyn bay yesterday to have a look at the white Bathurst S they have for sale. Its a awesome beast however the sales man quoted £49,995 If this is the actual price why would anyone buy one of these new?? It would loose £15- £20K on leaving the forecourt.

35k or so atm with the june discount deal

[Aeroresh]

I nearly bought it myself and was eventually quoted circa £35k. Alot of car for the cash imo but decided on a more "sensible" standard Bathurst edition for £7k less than that with 20" wheels and the bi-modal sports exhaust.

If you dont want the frills, you can get a regular R8 for £23k for this month only with a £6k Vauxhall registration incentive plus haggling the dealer margin.

Some cracking deals out there at the moment!

27k is the best confirmed deal I've seen so far though Motorbodies are hoping to do 25k if they get an order for 10 together. 6k off list takes standard car to 29k so 27k is already biting a heavy chunk out of the dealer margin. Salesman at Belmont, Aberdeen had to confirm his sales manager would match it if I could sort a deal for the Monaro and the Astra. Unfortunately the Astra finance deficit is making it complete nonsense to do so it doesnt look on for me. Advice I got on here was to look at standard car and spend the 3k difference for the Bathurst on mods of my own choosing - looking in to it I'd have to agree with that advice.

Nice, almost worth buying a spare
An LS3 cam only would scare a few feeble supercharger owners too! GMM in Oz run 10's with cam only.

I'd like to see some proof. At a minimum the car would be auto with stall and DR's. You can work out how much HP would be required to get you into the 10's and I don't think 380HP on a VE would do that. Id hazard a guess that GMM have got one or two other tricks in that package to do that including being bottle fed.

I think June must be National Tall Story month

[ringram]

Way over 400rwhp girls. Its not an emissions cam.

Ok plus its a 6L L98 not LS3

DR's of course and some weight reduction. But the engine output is impressive!

Gareth, you of all people should be down with the NA situation

Yeah, just drive that baby straight from the strip to do the weekly shop

[ringram]

Ok, so first its wrong, now its right but undriveable. I see..

How about taking a look at this then http://www.ls1.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=10354...
Same car in around town drive format

Terry also asked me if my car had the stock cam in it, when he called by last night. So just because an NA setup goes fast (or in my case slow) doesnt mean its undriveable.
But you guys wouldnt know that as you drive ashmatic lumps of ineffiency so NA horsepower is something you are not familiar with nor understand

a supercharged s2000 can do low 11's and thats only about 400hp

Oh I think we do mate.
We give thanks to the thousands of people like you over the past 70 years who have braved the elements and soul destroying experiments to provide us with fire breathing monsters featuring such things as ported and chambered heads, magical cams and custom tunes designed to extract every last ounce of power limited only by the rules of physics, designed to go as fast as they possibly can.........




















AND THEN WE SLAP A BLOWER ON IT TO MAKE IT GO EVEN FASTER

So what you are saying is all FI (and by proxy those that go that route) are great at blow jobs?

no just say theres nothing better ..!!

I'd sell mine for 29k, that's only 2248 quid per second on the 1/4! Faster than a bath S with a BTCC champion winning driver at the wheel too! Cash only!

Mysty, I hope you are not serious!
