Turbo/supercharged cars on Ps

Post by sublime19 »

aye guys, my friend told me i can have a turbo or a supercharged car if i got my Ps prior to the new rule came out.

I'm on my green Ps, I've been driving for 3 and a half years but i was on my red Ps for 2 and a half years cos i was too lazy to go upgrade to greens (yea i no this is stupid)
so if u alrdy have a turbo car on your green Ps before the rule came out, its ok to drive it right? or can i not drive it at all on any sort of Ps regardless of when i got my license?

May I be the first to tell you to use the search button :D

Previous discussions of this have included links the RTA rules & regs - including a complete model list of cars that they cant drive.

on the rta website i also saw
"The prohibited vehicle condition restricts all new provisional (P1 and P2) drivers from driving certain high performance vehicles."

so this is for NEW drivers that got their Ps after the rule came out and doesn't apply to drivers that got their Ps before the rule?

i am suprised...
from "the list"
u cant drive evo VI, VII and IX only...
that means u can drive GSR, EVO I,II,III,IV,V,VII !!!
and why are they restricting a honda city...those cars engine is so tiny, without the turbo they cant even go up the slope with only the driver in the car...
past ride : FTO gpx with lots of bling bling
Current ride: EVO 8 with the MOST CARBON IN AUSTRALIA....206KW AT ALL WHEELS

i'd guess that the cars you mentioned are not on the list because they are not ADM.

it is based on power:weight ratio, any car over a certain amount of horsepower per ton is banned.

I don't know about base on Power to Weight ratio, it looks more like Stupidity ratio to me.

For example the e36 and e46 have one of the best power to weight ratio in the world but they aren't on the list :lol: And some of the cars pulls like 105kw at the fly with 1500kg got on to the list because its a supercharged :roll:

So base on these two fine example. I conclude that the list is base on Xmas party spin the bottle section. :twisted:
