I intend to put a few performance parts on it but it cost a lot to ship to the uk and we get vat (17.5% tax) and 10% import duty (yes we get taxed twice!!) and I dont want it to cost to much mpg wise as we are paying about $10 a gallon at the mo (yep you guessed it more tax!!)
    Wow, I would hate to live in that country. I knew England was tax happy because thats the part of the reason US broke off from them but I didn't know they were still taxing the hell out of everything to this day.

    BTW. welcome to the site.

      Please also look into the F-body Europe. They were a big help when I was overseas with the military. I remember there were a couple of gents from the UK also. This is the place to find out how to get everything out of that V6 though, you won't be missing that lazy 305 for long.

      Wasnt a lazy 305 it was a early 350 with a th350, shift kit, high stall torque convertor, big cam, performance everything!! But cost a bomb to drive and was a bit of a dog apart from the performance!!! Thanks for the link I'll check it out.

        Thats just the half of it we get the royal screw job on everything just being taxed twice is a relief!!! 60% tax on our petrol!! but we get free health care and education so its not all bad just if you wanna drive a fast car!!! :)
