I never thought 'Overseaers' saw our cars like this! :lol:
Well I liked, before the whole Monaro scheme was dropped, the VT GTS...

I'll take a Holden Monaro or GTO

No Vaxhaull for me, I'd rather have an Opel badge.

Same car.. The 500 is just a HSV with supercharger bolted on, It was a option here also it was introduced with the AWD Coupe 4 to boost it's power.. 375kw. Work that into HP and you got 500. But i'm glad you like it you buggers get it cheaper then us.

Value for money there considering its in M5 class for less then half the money.
I'd prefer the C5R-headed 420kw version. Not exactly an M5 competitor though, especially with a stripped interior.

Probably closer to an M6 CSL, if it were to be made.

Yes, especially as he can't afford the fuel of a standard one the extra fuel usage of the supercharger makes it even less affordable

That thing is gorgeous. I hope more people buy the VXR8 over here, I hardly ever got to see a Monaro, which was really quite a shame

I love seeing GTOs around here and the reason I think I'm seeing more GTOs here is the fact that people are getting really good deals and really realize how amazing these cars are! I really hope people fall in love with the G8.
