Chev badges.

I get FAR MORE pleasure out of the R36 than any car I've owned before. And that's all I care about.

And I say good on ya for it, but the outlandish statements above we a complete dribble of crap. I love the R36, I think it's awesome you track it but dont reduce yourself to pissing up the wall like that. If your keen on trackdays, have you ever checked out trackchat.com.au. Thyere a good bunch of guys who regularly meet up for the odd track day. I'd be keen to see some results for the R vs the SS's and the likes..

My clubby didn't have 317kw or 550nM. Re-read what I said and then get a clue.

Sorry

VE LS2 Clubby still had 307kw & still had 550Nm

That's only a tad more than the R36. (more like a whole bunch)

[Rocket36]

I stil get off the line better than the Clubby. But the Clubby was a whole lot of fun!

Got to say this has been one of the best running threads & conversations going for ages & even without getting into personal attacks or improper language, getting out of hand etc.


Hats off to everyone & take a bow.

Good stuff VWW

As for the RS4 comment, couldn't afford it? LOL!!! I test drove one, as well as an M3 and a C63. Yeah they're all quicker more powerful cars but are they $80,000 better value for money? NOPE! And if I had to pick one of those three other options I was looking at, it would be the C63. I came pretty close to buying it but it really wasn't $80,000 better value for money than the R36.

I'm sorry, but one of these things is nothing like the others. How you could even come to the conclusion to compare the R36 with them has me speechless. Gosh - heaven forbid Top-gear did a comparison between all 4 of them. Would youthen be jumping up and down crying about how unfair their comparison was?

On a side note - they would compare the clubsport against them and that'd be a fair comparison...

Perhaps the lack of both power and torque, with the addition of AWD does better suit your capabilities as I mentioned earlier.

I'm sticking an Audi badge on my Jetta.


That would earn some respect from my bitchezzzzzz.

I have a Porsche badge on my Polo... I think I gained some street cred, but nothing compared to a Chev badge on a Commodore...

I'm going to check out something in the States when I am there next week... I'm going to see how many Chev's have a Holden badge!!

You fool, they have Pontiac badges over there. Well apart from the Astra's, they're Saturns.

Lol that'd be ironicle.

Next time I'm in America, I wanna get a Kangaroo sign and put it over their Dear sign. Just for the lolz.

Nothing wrong with my driving capabilities mate. There were some with the guys in the HSV club but I can't help that. I've done a fair bit of racing and a LOT of track days. I'd happily put my skills to the test around any track if you like. Hey I could arrange a Wakefield day for VWW. You keen?

As for comparing the R36 to the RS4, M3 and C63, I can compare it and you know why? Because the R36 doesn't cost $150,000 to drive it off the showroom floor. So while I am sure I would have loved owning the C63 and I came very close to owning it (it's the best of the other three), I decided the R36 is better VALUE FOR MONEY. I.e. less than half the price but not half the performance. None of the other three options are worth $80,000 more. The R36 is the perfect compromise.

You're entitled to think what you like of course, but that doesn't mean you're right. It's just your opinion. Like I said, bottom line is I'm happy.

[VW VR6]

Maybe people don't like type of car which drive? Like: How many people removed VW badges from Golf or Jetta or Polo etc. - but I can not understand WHY ??? Maybe they don't like to drive europe cars or they look like better. But I did not see any BMW, Mercedes Benz, Ford, Toyota ... without badges. VW without VW badges at front and rear is same like writing letter i and forgot put fulstop on the top.

[Buller_Scott]

Passat is the new polo.....like the polo fan boys wanted a Golf GTI but could only affoird that...

hahahahahaha... man! you CANT make statements with THAT many holes in them, come on!

but i think it rocks. i especially love commodore executives with stock ride height, bird crap on it and not one single decently maintained panel, but rockin 19 inch advanti medusa wheels..... awesome.

meh, if it makes them feel good why not? im sure many of them are decent blokes just looking for a good bunch of guys to help them in the right direction....

Luckily I didn't mention that someone should go and enjoy a golden shower...

This thread is useless but its one more fr my post cont!

This sort of debate is never going to go down well on here, no one is at all impartial

Can I put a Datsun badge on my mk1's? they were made in the same factory? will that give me cred with all the sick 1200 ute boys?
