rmmackfc Posted September 21, 2007 Author Share Posted September 21, 2007 Was up at the dealers today, so got a few piccies on the phone (hence the poor quality). I'll get better ones once I get her home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H5 Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Is the first mod a 'de-badge'?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmmackfc Posted September 21, 2007 Author Share Posted September 21, 2007 Is the first mod a 'de-badge'?? Probably, although I've created a bit of a split opinion on that on HSV forum No holes under any badges, so easy Although I may just take the Vauxhall one off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would just make the rear look cleaner IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stew Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 De badge would look good. I like the Holden badges though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks nice anyway mate!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev946 Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Nice car mate... I'd take any reference to Vauxhall off. Holden badges would look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest prescience Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Nice car But the holden vs vauxhall badge kick - get a grip IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digsy Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Evil looking motor, mate. Darker wheels would add to the effect.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam@Z1auto.com Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 very cool cars - does that use the same engine as we get here in the states? (it was sold here as the GTO) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmmackfc Posted September 22, 2007 Author Share Posted September 22, 2007 very cool cars - does that use the same engine as we get here in the states? (it was sold here as the GTO) Yip, LS2 Old Corvette 6.0L. It used to have a trunk, until you guys started getting them They moved the fuel tank into the trunk!..... although that then freed up space for twin exhausts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Nice Dan fell in love with his. I'm sure he maybe able to help you out if you have any questions on the car or even if you need some questions to ask the dealer. So much so he just bought another Searched high and low in fact, and will always be looking. Not only a great drive but bloody good news sale wise aswell.

Dan Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Anyone heard of these guys....http://www.quickars.co.uk/21156/quickarsltd.htm They have one or two for sale at good prices and low miles Yes I've dealt with them, they messed me around quite a bit. They were supposed to be buying my last Monaro from me, 56 plate with 4k. They offered me a trade profit, I accepted their offer, and two weeks later they moaned at me because I sold the car retail. ie they had two weeks to come and collect the car and didn't turn up, then moaned at me for selling it ! In the trade you don't mess people about like that and I wouldn't deal with them again. Rank amateurs and a couple of prats IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Made it to the end of the thread LOL Well done mate, you will love that engine, any revs, any gear it just goes. Massive torque makes overtaking a lark, you never need drop below 4th gear unless you really want to show something up LOL. Keep that traction control switched on in the wet Two more points, in Black my last Monaro turned more heads than any other car I've owned and you will comfortably get 25 mpg at 80-90 on the motorway. Sure you will get into the teens on the back roads giving it plenty but the gearing is so high and there is so much torque its very easy to get decent fuel economy from these cars. My only complaint was the car was too quiet LOL It's got a 6 litre V8 and I want to hear it god dammit !!! There is a sports exhaust available from Vauxhall ( about £1800 I think ) and that would be the first mod I would make if I was keeping the car.

Ross Mac Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 I 100% agree - it looks . Its the type of motor I would imagine Darth Vader having in his garage. The only (tiny) downside in my nopinion is that its a Vauxhall - but you'll be going that quick no one will notice the badge - get the holden badges slapped on and that will confuse the majority of the population!

davej Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Stunning Car!! had a couple of goes in these, once at GM's Tourist event in vegas, Dave; Just let me get this straight I can go as fast as i feel comfortable? GM Bloke; Yup, yer english you wont scare me, by the way only one foot on the pedals (Auto) Dave: OK, there's one for each foot!! After the first corner, white knuckles were seen, then janice had a go! The only reason i never got on is that Janice isn't too happy with the driving position, Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 The only reason i never got on is that Janice isn't too happy with the driving position, Dave Yeah the driving position is a little unusual, needs a bit of fiddling with but the seats are among the best I've ever sat in, absolutely fantastic. I actually wish I had kept my last one, it was a black 56 plate with only 4k on the clock and one owner. Difficult to replace and sold in ten days, just as I was getting attached to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
