Eh?

the 400hp (300kW) Holden Commodore costs nearly A$100k or about US$55k. However for about A$50k (around US$27k) you can get a SS commodore with a 300hp (225kW) LS1 including IRS but no leather etc. Oh and the 6 speed gearbox is shite in my opinion. My boss has a middle of the road 255kW version and he nearly has to double clutch sometimes to get it in on fast up changes.

If you want to talk car prices, how about an BMW M3? About US$45k, call it A$90k. In Oz the base price for an M3 is A$141.5k or about US$75k
