saiyan and aiya, try this (note all australian prices) as i am comparing purely on price...

retails for $60,490 RRP
0-100km in 5.7sec

Ok Monaro isnt flash, but when looking at the other comparisons i dont see why your precious sti is so great, with the price differences of all the other cars you could easily work them to be faster, on top of that its pretty common knowledge that you can work a wrx to be faster than a sti..


All in all IF i could have any car out of that lot it would still be the ek9 (not possible unless i steal the one in melbourne/brisbane; get a working visa and go to new zealand to get one; buy every single part and change a ek4), 1.because police arent going to pull them over as much as the sti (and any imprezza that looks like a rex as it has gotten a bad rep over the years by all the tards who think its wrc on the roads), 2. its teh sex. if i could have any car period, i'd take the batmobile  8) with all the batman mods -_-.

aiya, ok point granted you can get some chasers into the country, but not all, which brings me back to the point not all cars can be imported into all countries.

The problem isnt with getting it out of Japan, its gettin the car through customs in Australia and gettin it road registered.
_v0rani is right, the only legal method of importing a civic type R to Australia is as a personal private import where you've must of owned the car for more than a year in another country.
Most import cars you see in Australia are imported under SEVS, but only a select few cars may be imported under this scheme as cars like the civic type R which share most of its chassis characteristics with a locally produced version deem it non eligible under the SEVS scheme.
Although nowadays in Australia, cars older than 15 years are all eligible for import. Thus, were seeing a current flock of r32 GTR's into Australia.

krazykunt:
Also, i think we may be seeing a different monaro/GTO here, thus explaining the price difference.
Coz the one on that site has a gen4 6.0L v8.
Whereas the one currently on the market in Australia, the same one marketed in the US as the GTO is equiped with a gen3 5.7L v8 and looks different to the one of that site.

but hey, comparing a 2.0L 4cyl FI turbo charged motor to a 5.7L v8 would be more reasonable than comparing it to a 1.6L naturally aspirated motor.

Yeah, i was looking at the HSV GTO
