    P PLATER LAWS CHANGING. Game changer

    This will effect 99.9% of Ozhonda lolz.

    The P plate restrictions on force inducted, V8's and high performance V6's is going to be lifted under the premise of a 130kw per tonne rule.

    Discuss.

    I for one will see a MASSIVE decline in Honda ownership. Leaving only true enthusiasts.
    But then again Honda's will become so cheap everyone would buy one?

    Here's the source, just in case anyone wants to verify.

    I think it's about time, and if every p plater decides to dump their honda's the price will obviously plummet and that can't be good lol.

    All this means is a hoon can get a V8 commodore, put a big assed sound system in it to weigh it down and get around the 130Kw/T rule

    You can still drive a Dc2R. 141 kws at 1087kg = 129.71 kws per tone

    You would imagine that the switch to power to weight rule is for the purposes of allowing eco boost cars to be driven by P platers and reduce the abuse of turbo/super charged diesels.

    Performance turbo charged cars, e.g. Silvia's, Skylines, WRXs etc, would and should still be banned under the new rules similar to how 350Z and M3s are banned although they are N/A 6 cyl (under Victorian Law).

    I see no harm in banning high performance cars from P platers, been on enough touge runs to see the stuff they do. It's a good time to learn the fundamentals of driving and vehicle dynamics. There's plenty of time later on to enjoy Turbos and 8s.

    Yes. I can see all the P Platers abusing this rule.

    No one buys a S15, WRX etc because it is "economical"

    If I was a P plater and this rule came in I'd do something sneaky like, I'd buy a AUDM Spec R. Do a T28BB swap, put sleeper mods and go on a rampage.

    Its not good for us because Honda prices will plummet.

    At this stage it looks as though any <130 kw/ton car will be legal, however I see them somehow making cars like silvia's, skylines and wrx's illegal.
