Compared to the equivalent ford of the time (AU) the VT interior was miles ahead in terms of looks and appeal, while quality wise they were pretty equal.
I know I'd rather live with a VT interior than look at that ugly AU egg shaped dash every day.

I think what is really affecting the resale of these type of vehicles is the price of fuel at the moment. People are steering clear of V8's and looking for more economical alternatives.

yeah, thanks for the comments guys... the more i've thought about it, the less i want it. I love the cars, but if i'm putting that much money into a car, i have decided i'm getting something i really want...

So the mustang project is go go go... watch this space for an update on my new toy soon....

My dilema is, do i buy it, drive it for a year or 2, sell it for what i paid, lose no money... or buy and sell real quick? or just forget the idea completely?

I'm not a holden boy, but the r8's are very nice cars to drive, and they are quick too :(
