[sasser]

whats the deal?
it all seems very hazy on wether you can drive a 5.0 litre commodore on your p's.
i know all aout the power to weight ratio shit, 125kw/tonne.
but ive heard mixed reports on wether you can drive a vn commodore v8 on your p's.
an help would be appreciated.

Im almost posative you cant drive a V8 or turbos on p's

not sure about vic. but rta.nsw.gov.au has a list of prohibited vehicles

I *think* it was 3.5litres of engine capacity to 1000kg of vehicle weight, the engine size rule that is.
Its the 125kw rule which stuffs the VN V8s.

nar i wouldent think the police would care when they are giving you the ticket.

you (would??) recieve exemption as a mechanic because you have to be able to drive all types of cars when servicing/working on them.
well thats what a mate from vet said(tafe automotive course).

i dont know if its true, just thaught somone here would know.
