I wouldn't try and turn it in to anything else though. The Bentley/RR styling is popular but I don't think it works personally.

No I understand what you're saying, again personally I wouldn't mess with a car of that sort of value anyway, nice enough standard

Had a 3.5 V6
150bhp
Not very fast to 60mph
112mph speed limiter  (Hire car).
Drunk silly amounts of fuel when booting it or round town.
But it would sit at 80-90mph in overdrive in 4th (auto) at about 1500rpm and the fuel gauge hardly moved. VERY good long distance cars, but the lack of power meant you needed to knock the bugger into 2nd/3rd to gain any more speed.
13 hours driving in 1 go and no sore ass. Stearing was rediculasly light. Got back in a 1.2 Corsa C with PAS and it fealt like both the front tyres were fat.
Went round corners ok for such a big car as well.

the diesel isnt bad speed wise, and deffo the one i would go for, they do a 5.7 hemi v8 fast version which is pretty cool, and fast, but hoplessely pointless.

Yeah, theres a 425bhp 6.1 V8 Hemi version. Comes with big pimping wheels and a grill that eats children and small adults.
Not as good performance wise as the new VXR8 (Monaro replacement) but a very good car with bags of tuning potential. Still has the gay 4 speed auto though, unsure if they do a manual version of it.

SRT8.

West Coast Customs also done a roof chop on a 300 and made it a convertable with 22" wheels, and a TV for a stearing wheel.
Unsurprisingly, they got pulled and the car banned from the road
