"Those with a power-to-weight ratio of more than 125 kilowatts per tonne, or an engine-capacity-to-weight ratio of more than 3.5 litres per tonne, are considered high-powered.

Cars listed include Ford Falcon and Holden Commodore V8s, the Honda NSX, the Mazda RX-8, the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution and the Subaru Impreza.

The Lancer in Saturday's crash is not on the list but a car does not have to be to be banned.

The rules ban P-platers from driving eight-cylinder cars, and those with turbocharged or supercharged engines"

considering by the last comment all forced induction cars and v8's will be banned.

Damn that sucks.The cops used to pick on wrxs,holdens and skylines and I used to feel safe enough to go through a car check on the princes without even flinching, knowing that the cops had no clue.Now that every man and his dog are importing evos we are in the limelight and have to be more careful about what we do.Too many evos/gsrs involved in crashes lately and its only our fault really.I have decided to keep it on the racetrack from now on and advise a few of u to do the same for all our sakes

 

[tenji]

question is does anyone know who's GSR it was?

and was it a CC GSR or the older version?

 

[olly]

definatly a cc gsr, you can tell by the tail lights..

It kinda shows that the extra few years you guys wait does nothing to save lives. 18-24 year olds are often no more "mature" than 16-18 year olds

18-21
a 24 year old should not be on their P's unless they've lost their licence

 

[olly]

or lazy ..

what i heard was the gsr basically t boned the taxi on the passenger side. don't know how the rear damage and such happened though, maybe hit a pole? flipped?..

your on your p's for 3 years, i rekon its good, gives ppl some time to get some experience before jumping into a car that is overpowered for their drving experience

That's exactly what I mean. Many 24 years olds are wankers who've lost their licence - yet many 16 year olds have the maturity the 24 year old should!
