My mate has an early 5.7 LS1 engined Monaro in blue, very rare. Sounds gorgeous, got a lot of grunt but was very long geared until he swapped the diff. Goes like fuck now. Would probably sell it for the right price. It's mint, fully undersealed from new, quickshift, factory sports exhaust etc.
Same bloke is just putting the finishing touches to a LS1 engined Grp 4 Mk 2 Escort, it's a bit bonkers.

Another mate has a VXR8, LS3 6.2. Now that is nice, really does shift and sounds amazing. Massive car and hustles really well round a track too for the size of it.

Another bloke I know has an original VXR and has just supercharged it, should be around 600bhp now, might be taking it to Rockingham in a couple of weeks...
