generally the rex will be quicker, if you a looking to modify the ute will
be cheaper.. they are totally different cars though, what exactly are you
looking for?

such...

I reckon its Cyborg_0091 in yet another alias. Was hoping it had buggered
off permanently a while back :(

Both from Tas and both have very similar (disjointed) writing styles.

<high five> =)

I recall Cyborg used to be a bit harder to comprehend, but there are
definite similarities.

Yup, he is Cyborg, dunno about the drag though. Admitted to it
on Saturday in the "I need a Ricer" thread, however mentioned the
RX had died.

What, the one he was trying to design a front air dam for that would
stop him getting airborne at 280km/h over the hump in the road in the
main street of his town?

They don't make bullshit like that anymore =)

Whatever it was, it obviously went up, but never came down.

Obviously want something with a bit of punch,but dont want to modify
anything to get it.
have included the VY ute because i can claim it on my tax,but have a work
ute already,so it wont be
doing any hard work.Hardest being driving around for quotes.
What im after is an easy to drive comfortable, good handling ,reliable,car
with a bit of poke.Am also considering the XR6 Turbo if i can find any
resonably priced ones.

Cheers
