I guess its now sort of official that people on there red P's are now able to drive turbo or v8 as long as if its a family orientated car and has 125KW per tonn...
personaly as a red p plater i think its a sort of good idea, i am now able to drive my 67 xr fairmont, and my dads 351 F100 (if i need to) i still think it was a safe move (even though i didnt agree) however its been said a 1000 times a person can speed in any car turbo or not... Off the vic roads site Permission to Drive Lower-Performance Turbocharged or Supercharged Cars Drivers who obtained their probationary licence on or after 1 July 2007 can drive some lower-performance turbocharged or supercharged vehicles. These vehicles generally have improved safety features and greater fuel-efficiency and can be driven by probationary drivers. Probationary drivers may apply to drive vehicles with 6 cylinders or less that are: * turbocharged or supercharged with a power to weight ratio of less than 100kW per tonne; * turbocharged or supercharged with a power to weight ratio between 100kW and 125kW per tonne and that are considered to be a family type vehicle (4 seats or more) rather than a sports type vehicle. A family type vehicle is a sedan, station wagon or hatch normally used to carry families/passengers with 4 or more seats and is equipped with child restraint anchorages and does not include sports cars eg a two door coupe. Vehicles with eight cylinders or more, family type-type vehicles with more than 125KW per tonne or other vehicles with more than 100KW per tonne will NOT be granted under this scheme. Probationary drivers may drive diesel-powered supercharged and turbocharged vehicles provided they have no more than 6 cylinders. No exemption is required. Examples of vehicles that are NOT lower performance turbocharged or supercharged cars and must not be driven by probationary drivers include:: AUDI TT QUATTRO 2D COUPE 4 1781 cc TURBO Multi 6 speed Manual BMW 335i E92 2D COUPE 6 2979 cc TWIN TURBO F/INJ 6 speed Automatic FORD FALCON XR6 TURBO BA 4D SEDAN 6 3984 cc TURBO Multi 5 speed Manual MAZDA 6 MPS 5D SEDAN 4 2261 cc TURBO F/INJ 6 speed Manual SUBARU IMPREZA WRX 4D SEDAN 4 1994 cc TURBO Multi 5 speed Manual Probationary drivers can apply to drive lower-performance turbocharged or supercharged cars by completing an application form. You can download a copy of an application form or telephone 13 11 71 to be sent a copy. Application to drive a Lower Performance Supercharged/Turbocharged Vehicle Completed application forms must be returned to: VicRoads Exemptions Locked Bag 5000 KEW VIC 3101 Probationary drivers granted an exemption will receive notification in writing. For further information contact Tel 131171. Penalties From 1 July 2007, the penalty for driving a high powered vehicle will be three demerit points and a maximum fine of approximately $1100. These penalties will apply to both the former power to weight restrictions and the current high powered vehicles restrictions.

Link is in the thread above ....but was closed. Like all things related to P platers and Turbo's, they inevitably all turn to crap.

sort of, but its not exactly the same...
i love the fact that they write: A family type vehicle is a sedan, station wagon or hatch normally used to carry families/passengers with 4 or more seats and is equipped with child restraint anchorages and does not include sports cars eg a two door coupe even though those on there Red P's have no use for a family sized car considering they can only have 1 passenger thanks for the link read the other thread its a bit different but feel free to close this thread if neccasary
