Default Someone tell me what car im talking about please....

on monday at about 2.30pm i was driving and came across a car pulling away from the lights very fast, i chased it for a bit came to set of lights and didn't bother looking at what it was.... all i saw were little badges on the back that said "V8" or "V6" but im pritty sure it was V8.

Also it had a sign on the front passenger door trim reading "6.2" or "6.7" i could be wrong but im sure it did say that.

didn't get a good look as we both pulled away very fast so was concertrating on the road.

the car was blue and was deffinantly european but i get the feeling it may be an old Monaro which would make it aussie.

the car was a mid sized family saloon type thing and was blue.... looked subtle but not completely if that makes sense, was also in west drayton (heathrow area) if that helps cause it might be a user as it was not an average joe car.


Deffo european if not aussie but any one got pics of an old monaro if there ever was one?

please i need to id this car cause i want one sounded ace


any ideas lads

The HSVR is a 6.2 iirc

A chap locally owns one and a Holden pickup.

The commodore was the earlier shape iirc if it didn't look like a Omega

Sounds like the Vauxhall Monaro?
Often not a clue what they are until I see the Griffin, so bland looking.

could have been a cadillac (CTS i think) as they have a brakelight across the boot above the numberplate recess
