Been hovering over this twin turbo Monaro for a while and am thinking about looking at it but just wondered what you guys thought???

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vauxhall-M...8AAOSwYIxX-Nde

My thoughts are wtf can you get with 700bhp and sound like this for 15k?

I do like the monaros and have driven a standard ish one before and thought that was quick so this thing must be mental

Unless anyone has a 3dr cossie they wanna sell me cheap

Remember when I said to you rich you would regret the day you sold your 3dr lol.

Please please don't buy that it's horrendous looking,but it does probably go like stink

3drRich

I don't regret selling the 3dr mate but I could be persuaded to buy another I think

I quite like the styling of the Monaro but I go to aus nearly ever year so think they've grown on me plus I love a noisey v8 I just think it's a shit load of car for not allot of money and I can abuse it

lesley7

please dont buy it you can get a mint saph for that i thought you can get a 3dr for that

I like that. I bet its a bloody handful.

A lot of power for your money but not a fan of the styling inside or out. You'd get a good Impreza or evo for that money Rich

It's Czech Mate

None of which is a 700bhp rwd drift bastard

all the recommendations of buy a cossie
if that monaro has been done properly and is tidy its in another league its a 6.0 ls v8 !


il be honest im tempted myself at that money, I wont consider doing anything though rich unless you decide your not going for it, if you do look at it and don't want it let me know what you find

whats the spec ? my r33 v spec was Ł15k and that was modded everywhere 600 hp ended up over 700 hp on same spec almost


I loved that car was a beast

3drRich

I spoke to them today funny enough (the guys selling it) and they said speak to monkfish performance to get the full spec which hopefully I'm going to do tomorrow if I get time

It's Czech Mate

Monkfish? Should be tidy

Certainly a lot of grunt for the money, be even cooler if it was a ute

3drRich

I love the Utes but it's more money and less seats so unfortunately probably not gonna work for me.

My Brother in law worked in the Holden factory in Elizabeth where they made the Australian Monaro and he says they are well put together and offer one hell of a car for the money!! They were not mass produced and had the best of everything put into them.

For Ł15k I'd be buying that.

Looking at the pics again, you might want to get them to replace the front discs.

When I was working in Sydney, I had it in my head that I was going to get a Maloo for work. Never did happen and I returned to Scotland but the ute will always hold a special place in my heart.

Also did the parade lap around Bathurst in the passenger seat of my buddies
FPV ute with 2 of the v8 drivers standing in the back, they're all mad for the big engines over there

Over here they are called the Pontiac GTO. I almost bought one and the ones you see on the road are always modded. Ready to eat alive a Mustang or Challenger. Fine cars they are.....for 15k? Of course I would.

Owned a monaro VXR recently, great cars and they sound awesome with the right exhaust on them.

I'd much rather have that Monaro over an old Sierra anyday!

Mr--c

I'm ford daft. Love cosies. But have a soft spot for those. If it was black I'd be all over it. Not got good luck with silver cars for some reason lol.
A lot of fun for the money I would say

3drRich

This is gonna sound funny but I think I'd rather have a supercharged one with a bit less horsepower as this thing is just going to light up in every gear where at least the supercharged is even power delivery but will still move.

Massive r888s will cure that mate no problem

Guy I know bought 1 new but a 4 door. I HATE Vauxhalls but he had that for 2 years and never had any bother with it. Well apart from a dangerous driving charge. Had a blast of it a couple of times and for a car of its size it loved getting thrown about. I expected to condem it after a proper drive of it but it was an awesome car to drive. Just a shame about the badge
