    Fantastic! Handles pretty well, reaches a decent top speed,
    the noise is phenomenal and it looks even better IMO.

    Bought it yesterday, BTW.

    I remember this car, but I didn't know it was Australian back then. Looks pretty clean and sweet.

    Nice performance, is that engine originally from another car or is it specifically designed for this one?

    Not my personal taste when it comes to looks but it takes all kinds to make a world.

    How much does it cost?

    the 6.8L engine was derived from a 5.0L V8 but obviously has been heavily rebuilt and changed. not sure on cost, i've heard $500,000 AUD but that could be completely wrong.

    AUD $500,000 = £210,000 (approx.)...

    ...Nice, but there are a load of cars I'd rather have for that amount of cash.
