I know its not a golf club, however i saw Brisvegas put his car here, so i thought i would give it a go - you never know other golfers might like performance cars???

I have a 2004 VY calais with extensive modifications, making 310 rear wheel kilowatt (400 in normal language)

Asking $25,000

Happy to give full details if anyone is interested or knows anyone?

I also have a 2005 VZ calais that will be for sale once the V8 sells.

What is the fuel economy like? How many litres per 100 ks?

Don't they call it fuel consumption in a muscle car rather than fuel economy? :mrgreen:

Sits two degrees open, so you won't end up in the gravel, but you may drift occasionaly into the oncoming traffic.

No warranty - car is a 2004 model.

Fuel economy is about 15l/100 around town, 10 on the open road, over 20 if engaging in spirited driving!

no worries. just a dig at some no warranty gear that was floating about here a while ago.

Daves its naturally aspirated - its pretty cranky... thought about a blower but getting to old.

I have a matching calais in V6, they are making way for a Mercedes E 500

you will enjoy the E500 though nowhere near 400kws. I have an E55, so can only imagine how cranky yours is to get 400kw!

Nice - yeah i want comfort and prestige now.... dont need stupid acceleration. Prior to it have the 6 speed manual put in, it had a 4 speed auto and 4000 rpm stall convertor. It was good for 0-100 in approx 3.5 seconds with 3.73 diff gears. I believe the e500 does it in a tad under 6.
