Manual performance wagons around $10-15k?

[nutttr]

Well non-suv wagons are a bit thin on the ground nowadays so I know what you mean. Plus the ones that are built resemble enlarged hatches more than proper wagons.

Spot on. I didn't really want an SUV style thing and a turbo territory was an option, but running costs are high on those... which is annoying.

Have you ever driven a Liberty GT or a Legnum wagon that was also mentioned?

Yes. Liberty GT handles really well. Magna must be something to behold.

so, if something can do a 13s pass, it's a performance car?

lol....um yeah!!!
fuck me if something breaks into the 14 sec zone it's a performance car.
please tell my why not?

You obviously live in the same Olden Days as I do, when Ferrari 328GTS's only just broke 15's and it took an F40 to go any faster ... even though the likes of Maximas do 14.Xs quarters these days.

Performance car.

they do 14.9 with the Aurion setup don't they???\

hell yeah performance car!!!!

shit load cooler than a recycled VW with a punched face and a chrome grille so Skoda can sell it as a different car!!!

No Forg,

I live in the days that when someone asks for a budget performance wagon, they don't expect to have heated leather seats to make up their decision between a soft 16 second turbo Subaru and a 14 second Magna wagon

Members on here are really are too far separated from reality, grasping at sales brochure power figures and using Moroso drag time calculators using drag co-efficient against dry weight figures and 30% driveline loss hp etc!

it's all a lot of bullshit, and the drag strip calls this crap out everytime.

No one gives a fuck about failed Australian mid size wagons. Just stop.

They are decent enough cars for the money. That is all. they are nothing particularly special. Quickish in a straight line but shit to drive overall.

[darwinschops]

your love of magnas confuses and infuriates me

I have honestly made fools out of cars worth bulk loads more than mine.

i make a fool out of anyone driving a magna simply by not driving a magna

I hear you can get them to do a 1.10 around Wakefield though.

I live my life a quarter Mile at a time. Ahead of falcons

you fagna cunts have fagged up this fucking thread.

You made a magna beat a bunch of car for under $1300... we all had a laugh.. it was great.
but fuck off now... bringing it up in other threads is just fucking annoying.

great. you made a magna run 13.5. well done.
now move on.

Lols. In about this order.

And I'd throw a +1 behind those rebadged gti skodas - seems you can just get manual slightly better than bland Czech gti for $15k - http://www.carpoint.com.au/all-cars/...-2061284&Cr=18 - sedan and wagon - http://www.carpoint.com.au/all-cars/...-2350604&Cr=21 .

That or I'd still go a liberty or ve calais/ss. Rocket sled or easy pointy thing are both solid options. Seatless magna comes close for a comfortable daily driver though.

Must really suck when your performance car gets chopped by a 17 second 1.6 MX5 around the track.

How do you get a turbo Liberty to 16s? Is this the Caravan Towing Drags or something?

Great performance wagons through Australian motorsport history.







Does this thread remind anyone else of the other great wagon thread of PF at all?
