Ah yes, AND im currently learning to drive in my dads VN and i have driven a 253 v8, as im some how aloud to on my l's, and the 253 had nothing on the V6, which killed it in acceleration (dad had it at calder with a stock 253 that his mate owns and they dragged them)

The wb one tonner would be ideal for me in transport, financial terms ($2k w/RWC/Rego) And it'll do me perfectly for work.

Potty,

Yep. A 1975 Passat TS [c.1490cc] will out accelerate a light V8 of the same vintage over a short distanceand has a cruising speed 175 klm per hour. Maybe, a low powered and low weight cars [less mass in a prang] should be purposely designed for restricted licenses.

Just to try and get the message across I'll give another example of a low powered car that anyone would be allowed to drive.

1.5 litre engine,push rod OHV, 4 cylinder, normally asphirated, 4 speed box.
Performance: 27 mph in 1st; 52 mph in 2nd; 72 in 3rd and 90+ in 4th.

This car is still on the road and performing as well, if not better, as when new.

How would a speed limiter work on it? Limit the power? It only produces 54 bhp

The idea of excluding V8s was just a feel good exercise without the intention of doing anything concrete.

Finally, some people who see where i am coming from. The Corolla i was driving (mums old one, recently got rid of due to being rear ended) produced 97kw and only weighed around 900kgs, it was a wagon and it took off like a rocketship and it would just spin the rears, with full tread, if u went too deep on the throttle. So im not aloud to drive a 1400kg, 115-116kw 253 V8 because its of 8 or more cylinders? Crap.

Potty, a 1400kg car at 80km/h will do a lot more damage to whatever it hits than a 900kg one. Given you're in the category of drivers most likely to drive into other things, such a restriction seems perfectly reasonable.

Yet i can still drive a 1700kg (or close enough) 200kw 6 cylinder aurion? sure thing.
