The correct answer is Nissan Skyline. (Just to wind you V8 fans up)
Seriously though, I like the concept of squeezing as many kW out of a small engine as possible. I won't take sides in the Holden vs Ford discussion, if you want a proper V8 engine, try the Lexus V8, alloy block, half the weight, more power, and most importantly many many cheap off the shelf JDM go fast parts.

There are two sorts of Lifelike chassis. Fastertrackers and the other one?????????? Can't remember the name. I have had both types and they are quick. One of them is better than the other. But I can't remember which one???? Dan would know. The good one was as fast as a good Turbo but not quite as good as a Super G+. They need silicone tires to work the best. The tires you are getting also fit Life Like. Bonus!!!

Cool, have fun with those! Keep them clean for best results. You will soon see how dirty/dusty your track is with those tires!

What do you clean them with do you think? I've read somewhere that sellotape works well, but others disagree and think it leaves a residue.
