There are some VE SS going for low to mid 20ks, that's not bad value?
Or even this Merc E55 AMGs (runs 11s) https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/det...12562202/?Cr=1

Harder to find one that hasnt had ten shades of **** beaten out of it though.. As for the E55 , repairable write offs are the lepers' of the car world Yes probably true although the VL turbo was a fairly short production run whereas the Falcon turbos spread across 14 years or so

Missed that part, I didn't scroll down that far. Just watched the dyno and the 1/4 mile run haha. Its a beast though, and would probably still drive straight.

Later model turbo falcons are slim pickings also which is another factor, a lot to do with they didnt sell well either.
