petrol patrols, in general, arent exactly economy vehicles.
don't be fooled by saying they are gutless...give them a generous serving of rpm and you can be quicker than a 4.2...not to mention a rb30 would have to be one of the easiest motors in the world to turbo, as well as alot of spares available for cheap due to vl's and r31's sharing the same motor.
i have never driven a 2.8, but i have ridden in one before...i found that that was the gutless one, thats for sure.
