For the most part i drive a '06 Courier Diesel (technically a mazda) or a '03 Navara Diesel which are both work vehicles and about as boring as it gets as far as driving is concerned. On the odd occasion i get to drive a '03 VY Clubsport which isn't bad, i prefer driving the Sprint though.

As far as I know the biggest engine ever to go into a Mercedes road car measured in at 7.3 litres.

However its a 720bhp (537kW) V12 and lives in the US$2,000,000 CLK-GTR SuperSport. I seriously doubt he has one of those.

And even then they are realistically a 6.8 litre (6814cc) engine , I've owned a 450SEL 6.9, they are a great car. I'm not a member of ozbenz but i'm going to have a look around!


Do people even read the thread title or is a Ford not a Ford?

Great cars the Stageas. A friends got one and has fiddled with it to make it really boogie. Sorry to hear about your daughter.

I'm looking at a cheapish tow pig in the future, that will be the closest thing I’ll probably get to a typical Ford Falcon. I may get a friend’s VZ Calais 6.0 (hasn’t been thrashed, good price and does the job with a bit of luxury). If that falls through I may go back to a 2 door car and maybe get an AU XR8 ute unless a cheap import (GS300 twin turbo/GS400) gets in the way.

If that happens it’ll be great, and even the tow pig will go out on the track a few times.
1 x tow pig (Holden/Ford)
1 x race car (Datsun)
1 x daily driver/fun car (Honda Integra)

This is my other car, 1985 Toyota 4Runner, not so much a car as a truck, LOL.
Goes nicely with the 2008 LT Focus Zetec, and my baby, 1995 EF1.5 Fairmont.
