Ive not driven one yet, but looks awesome IMHO

Its got an LS2 in it, so that is also a massive plus point!

Don't you mean VXR8

If you've got 20k then buy a second hand Monaro

They will depreciate like fuck, 20K in a few years no bother at all IMHO

Vauxhalls dont hold their price for the first 10 years or so, even the LC didnt (does now though as not.normal will testify no doubt, lol)
