[kobasica]

coppas coppas punch em in the face coppas coppas.. if your still a coppa then your gay!

[FC3SROTA]

Man 100 hours..200 hours a thousand hours..driving...Its not gonna change shit..I admit...driving fast and booting it at the lights is bad shit....But its so fucking addictive...Especially when your driving a turbo rotary...LOL .....but i have learnt ...3 months suspension is fucked...and a week later after getting licence back police yellow stickered my rx7...Shes on the road now...And its still hard not too give her shit..

[koryan]

The laws are a load of shit. The P plate system needs to be abolished, that piece of plastic is what causes the problems. I am disgusted that this country is turning into a nanny state. Every other country it goes L plates, then full licence. No P bullshit.

The restrictions make no sense and are only punishing people for the actions of other idiots.

[freestyla101]

look i agree with the laws, but i don't like them.

and your right, its not so much the power, its the torque. p platers will try to take take any car up to 200, i know for a fact. but its the cars that have high acceleration that get guys into trouble because they dont know enough about control. think about it, i wouldnt be buying a 200+kw s14 for looks.

btw, going back a few comments, there are many parents who buy their 18yo kids expensive cars, including lotus elises.

[itsdamo1993]

Nah not the base model...

I'm not saying we could buy them....i'm saying if say our parents had one we could drive a 5 sec 0-100 car 100% legally.

Yet if someone elses parents had an old

v8 with a 0-100 of about 10 sec, we can't.

[freestyla101]

is the elise charged?

[lukebaldan]

I guess you can pick up a 2nd hand base elise for $50000 these days which is still a hell of a lot of money for a 18-19 year old! Not to mention the chance of being insured

[lukebaldan]

Sorry your logic is a little silly. How many 19 year olds can afford a lotus elise or an ariel atom (Which is something you would be hard pressed to find on any Australian road)? QLD rules will probably end up matching VIC's 125kw/ton rule which is a little more restrictive.

[itsdamo1993]

@lukebaldan

A 19yr old...yeh they could buy one if they saved up.

Hypothetically, I could drive an aerial atom without the supercharger, with 4 sec 0-100's.

The governments logic is just ridiculous.

[lukebaldan]

It's an LX, basically a non turbo WRX with about 120kw versus 180 odd kw in an XR6

[lukebaldan]

Because a lotus elise is easily accessible by P platers?
