| Yes. Your 280hp heavy Soarer beat 2 450+hp blown Mustangs. I think the guys who were driving weren't racing. |

| ahahahah ow my god, this has been hilarious READING what people wrote thanks for the comments, everyone. and YES, im on my P's, but i have an interstate license, so the police never say anything, i have been pulled over a few times for breath tests and random license check in the Soarer, but no comments from the police. I drive the car VERY responsibly and yes.. i tend to have some fun when there is LEAST chance of anything going wrong. i absolutely killed myself with laughter when Tristen mentioned that i explain to the cop's that its a V6.. with 2 extra cylinders for backup. ahahah I will be on the next cruise here in Melbourne, and i cant wait to meet all if not most of you. i was trying to remove the Toyota badge last night but i couldn't, and didn't want to proceed any further, so i'm keeping the TOYOTA sign as is. I have beaten several 5L V8 commodores.. in wet and dry weather.. on the freeway and highway's at rolling starts and launches, so.. so far im impressed, because most of my mates who drive 5L commodores reckon there car is the king of 8's.. but i just LOVE proving them wrong. INSURANCE wise.. the car is under my father's name, who is well in his 40's, so i don't think it will be a hassle, No i am not scared of admitting i drive a V8 on my p's..in a public forum, because after all i do have an interstate license, so the Hoon law's do not apply for me as i got my license in 2007.. that's about all i need to respond to i think and about the interior..how rare is it really.. can it raise the value of my car teheh keep the conversation going ahaha by the way, any female Soarer owner's here in Melbourne ? under the age of..25 ? if so, come out from the rock which you are hiding under neath and say hi .. or are most of the ladies here, classy revhead mum's with 2 door coupes |

Classy? Hardly, all it does is make it look tacky as it's labeling something incorrectly, Lexus' are LHD, Have an L on the steering wheel and other areas, many different options through out etc. Your just kidding yourself, same to all Lexus badge nerds. |

| Ok Miles, it obviously seems as though you don't agree with much that i have said.. I never said i exceeded the speed limit, sure, maybe i have 'raced' but UNDER the speed limit, its possible. And what's not to say i haven't taken my car to a track day, and raced friend's there. I briefly mentioned 'beating my mates' but did not really specify much detail for you to point the finger !!!!!! And secondly, my job takes me back and fourth between Perth and Melbourne, so I'm never in one place for more than 2 months champ. Technically i have 3 months to drive around in Melbourne with an interstate license, So Vicroads says. Where as DPI in perth says i have 12 months.. either way i get ATLEAST 3 month's of driving at a time before i can't drive in Victoria, but by then im back in Perth for another month. Anything else you wish to disagree with, and or raise a point regarding ? Now, To Mike Beck's comment, well yes, you have your own opinion, i personally think the Lexus badges look nice, and what you have quoted was in my first post, i can no longer edit that, so i apologize if there is misleading information. Now, To Ian Ross's comment, When im in Melbourne, i stay with my parents in the south side of Melbourne. i dont want to specify a specific suburb, as their may be people who are on this sight for other mean's of business. |

| "I have beaten several 5L V8 commodores.. in wet and dry weather.. on the freeway and highway's at rolling starts and launches" Just trying to help you out chief. You're what.. 18 or 19 years old and putting all sorts of info about yourself out there, including illegal acts and maybe setting yourself up for insurance issues when you hit someone. |

| yes, i have, what's to say i didn't speed up from 0.. or 10.. or 40kms.. on the on ramp to 80/100kms on the freeway ? Besides.. what is your point ? and What is it to you, if i receive a speeding fine... how has that harmed you in any way, and when have you ever heard anyone off any public forum receive a fine for typing out a comment stating that they have conducted an illegal road act.. ? I don't think i signed up to this forum to be questioned by you officer. So if you don't have anything else worth pointing out, then please keep it to yourself. I understand you are obviously well known around the soarer scene and probably much more respected than others.. but just because im a P plater, Doesn't mean i'm a hoon. |

| Don't worry about it, Miles loves a good argument. Hey its arguments and porn that keep the internet ticking! =) (Slightly more) on topic, how did Holden manage to make a 5 litre V8 that only put out 165kw and then sell it as a "performance saloon"? WTF was up with that? |

| Yes, there have been a load of people get looked into because of what they posted on forums. Not to mention insurance claims rejected because of said comments. Racing on public streets is illegal, no matter what speed you stop at. It gives everyone with a Soarer a bad name. Don't wanna take some friendly advice which is encouraging you to at least stop posting the details of illegal activity for all to see? Fine. Dig your own hole. What is it to me? I'm sick of my hobby being ruined by 18 year old clowns bringing the cops' attention on modified cars because they don't know the time and place for racing. And smashing each other up and making the news. Every time I see someone on here bitch about being targeted by the police because they drive a Soarer, I wonder why they then welcome illegal activity by others in Soarers but can't figure out why this model is targeted? Police target models that they find people breaking the laws in. All of you who legitimately drive your Soarers should have a vested interested in trying to discourage illegal behaviour in them. But here we are, and doubtless within a week or two I will see another thread whining about how someone was harshly targeted by the cops just because of the model they drive. Well, what do you all expect? |

| i have not bitched and whined about how i was targetted by police, Sure ive been pulled over, and YES i respect the police for doing their job, after all i would pull me over to, as the car does look like it is a modified import, but its only a stock 4L V8. Thank's for the encouragement regarding me and my personal info about insurance etc.. but anything i have stated is not illegal.. Yes the so called "street racing" may be VERY dangerous but i never admitted to exceeding the speed limit, If anyone ask's WHY the car is registered under my fathers name, well the truth is, im never in melbourne LONG enough to claim the car is souly mine.. when im out of melbourne, my dad drives the car.. when im back in melbourne, the car is mine. As i said, i brought this car because it made my heart throb the most at the time, which fit into my budget.. honestly, if i wanted a car to thrash and race with i wouldnt have brought a V8 soarer.. im sure everyone here can back me up.. i would have gone and brought a worked S14.. or even a skyline for that matter with a highflowed turbo, bit of boost and a fmic..and BANG! bob is your aunty julie! I do apreciate your concern and i understand where you are coming from when people have a sook and winge, and i know you are much older, probably alot more mature when it comes to driving, and have had alot more experience with car's, the law.. and soarers to be more specific. but at the end of the day, i dont see myself as a hoon, NEITHER have i done anything illegal, as you pointed out that my license "must be converted".. no your wrong. i't doesn't haveto be converted. i still have a house in perth so technically im a west australian resident aswell. I think we should end the rant here, i take left and you take right, Hope to see and meet you on the cruise this weekend though, im still up for it if you want to shake my hand pal. As i am with anyone else here. Seem's like a forum with the older crowd and yes, i want to fit in, not be singled out Thanks. |

| not all of us are old!!! The Soarer is a nice, classy yet sporty car and its not targeted by police unlike Skylines, wrx's etc and we just want to keep it that way. Miles isn't having a go at you, just raising some issues thats it, so don't take it to heart dearie |

Fair enough mate. I guess everyone is entitled to their point of you and I agree with Miles and yourself but at the end of the day we are all responsible for our own actions. No matter what brand of "unique/nice" car you drive, if it has a "P" on the window it will always be targeted by the police. Also, I don't know of anyone who at the age of 18ish didn't drag someone at the lights or speed down a straight road etc... hence the fatalities that always occur! The lucky ones survive and grow out of it. I did and there is no way I would drive like that in my car today. With age comes common sense and experience!!!! |

Correct Ian, but, i can honestly say for myself, that i am a responsible driver, i have recieved a few speeding fines in perth a long time ago.. and after the last one, i kind of got OVER it..not worth it at all. so ive learnt my lesson. After all we are here to conversate about soarer's and praise each other on how beautiful these car's are not to discuess the law and what is and isnt right about insurance and P platers... i consider myself a p plater but aswell as an experienced drive, ive had 1 year more experience at driving over any other 18 year old p plater on the road today as i was 17 when i got my P's. |

| Well i try my best i just reset my ECU following the guide on this forum.. my car run's sluggish at the moment, did a few 0-60 launches to recalibrate the ecu.. i guess. and the car is running with ALOT less power than it did prior to the reset maybe needs a good steady day's worth of driving. |

Now that doesn't sound right? I've always been sceptical about ECU resets delivering buckets of horsepower, but they definitely should NOT cause you to lose power. Did you do anything else at the same time? I'm a TT man, so the V8 is a little foreign to me... |

| Racing is illegal even if you stop before you hit the speed limit. Look it up, save yourself some trouble. Your car can be impounded even if you don't break the limit, if they catch you racing. They have all kinds of dodgy laws to get you. Racing is treated far worse than simple speeding, as is "display of speed". When they catch you, they give you about 3 or 4 different charges which require a court appearance and very hefty fines. Good luck with a story of how you should be allowed to drive a V8 on your Ps in front of a magistrate. Not to mention traffic convictions on your record. Just letting you know, that is what you can get without even breaking the limit. I wasn't talking about you with regard to the targeting - I was talking about other people here who post big anti-police rants on how they targeted his Soarer even when he wasn't doing anything wrong. And then the very next thread people seem to have no problem with behaviour that gives the model a bad name. I don't really care about that any more, I don't drive a Soarer (and that's one of the reasons why). I was just pointing it out to some others here. You may go left and I may go right, but I have the law on my side. Good luck. And I'm not that old mate I'm only 30. No cruises for me with these groups.. never did when I drove a Soarer either. Too often there's trouble with these kinds of cruises. Cars I drive now, never any trouble. Cops let ya do whatever. Another example of model stereotypes at work. |

What are you implying Miles? Are you implying that if you drive something different you can 'do whatever'? Sounds a bit hypocritical to me. |

You should have seen my Spa Country cruise back in April 08. Speed limit all the way... I think everyone nearly went to sleep. Kinda handy when you're the only one who knows where you're going and everyone else has to follow. Hence why I'm not that keen on coming along with the Great Ocean Road/Marysville etc cruises. From what I've heard, everyone seems to think it's a golden opportunity to measure up their bravado against others. I don't want to be pinged for something that the OTHER blue Soarer did. I've had my fun doing stupid sh!t on public roads... being hauled up in front of the magistrate and having the riot act read to me was enough deterrent and I'll never do it again. I can't sit here and criticise others for being clowns, since I'd be calling the kettle black. |
