Muffleman Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Okay I liked the look of the Monaro before, but the new VXR500 ? Never have I wanted a vauxhall so much ! 500bhp, 6.0supercharged, 75mph in first gear !!! And the noise ! Nice, give that a couple of years and it'll be £15k not £35k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mathew Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 why the fook did they have a review on the biggest/most expensive lawn mower in the world??? if it was to hi light the power and torque of that toureg then they did an awful job of that as the seemed to want to show the farmer giles wank mobile more. that show has gone down hill along with the presenting which is dire. although the competition was good, entered that a few times:d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imi Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 They are trying to copy TOP GEAR......a very poor form of imitation Tiff is a really cool driver, but his attitude stinks.....really full of himself. VBH is simply annoying. And no idea who the others are.....I dont think they know either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rik Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 That Monaro would be an awesome car to own. Large capacity V8, rwd, and Supercharged!!! Looks quite good too. Just needs a set of open pipes and some slicks on the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiefgroover Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Vauxhall, do some decent cars but image is awful, mate many moons ago had a Cavalier Sri, on several occassions he had dudes walking up to him asking "have you any drugs mate?". Nuff said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dee_rz Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 That was actually quite a good show i thought the other day,also like tim lovejoy i find him hilarious and vicky can also see the monaro as a car i would potentially own one day great value for a car with all that to offer and that zzr 1400 mental Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Yeah I quite like the Monaro's. I wonder what aftermarket performance upgrade options are like for them. The VXR500 is just an officially modified version of the standard one isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The VXR500 is just an officially modified version of the standard one isn't it? yep an officially modified version of the vxr version with the 6.0l ls2 chevvy engine in it not the 5.7 ls1 thats in the bottom of the range one, aps and some other aussy compnays do twin turbo kits for both the 5.7 and 6.0 and can go from 350bhp or 500bhp to 500-800bhp but they ask alot for the kits etc, the engine and trans is strong and good for a good power hike too.

Gazboy Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I wonder what aftermarket performance upgrade options are like for them. Chevy is the king of aftermarket tuning mate. A supercharged chevy is just about the easiest thing in the world to tune- that includes guitars & piano's lol. Anything from £200 airbox upgrades to full build 4000bhp jungle juice drag engines.
