gaz1 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 its a nice car no doubt, but it is really a middle aged guys car, the sort of car i would go for in a few years i guess, don,t think it really suits you jamie, (you still have a bit of boy racer left in you:p) and how would you feel if a well setup single supe went passed you, i know what your thinking and i think the same sometimes, 25-30k on a 10yr + old car, but really does that matter as long as it does the job:D no matter what you buy, you will lose money on it but get something that your heart desires;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivan Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Gorgeous car Jamie. But I agree with Gaz, it's too sensible for you. Now me on the other hand... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 I'm with Gaz, it's a saloon with a big engine (a great engine at that), but I wouldn't have one as my sports car, for going to work in yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 Gorgeous car Jamie. But I agree with Gaz, it's too sensible for you. Now me on the other hand... Id probs stick a huge supercharger on it for 600 bhp and no lag.. still to sensible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Id probs stick a huge supercharger on it for 600 bhp and no lag.. still to sensible? It's not the engine (or it's potential) that's putting me off, it's the looks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewOW Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Only 403bhp from 6litres? You'll have to do something about that! Otherwise its a lovely car. EDIT: Oh you've already mentioned the boost. That'll teach me to reply quicker! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is an everyday car im thinking of buying, as my buisness is getting bigger im not on the tools anymore so have no need for the truck. thinking this would do both jobs for a while.

SupraHuman Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 I saw a 800hp supercharged Holden Monaro on piston heads a few weeks back Jamie. That might be more to your power cravings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think re badged Holden to get you away from poxy Vauxhall and that the Japanese drift team loved it. Put the blower on and you have a devastatingly quick car that suit everyday needs. Then get a supe tricked right out for pod days and meets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustGav Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 In all honesty, the monaro will still get good money compared to as has been said a 15yr old Jap car... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havard Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Personally I like it. I would de badge it though!! I bet it goes through fuel like Michelle McManus went through pies!! Never been in one but they sound like great fun to drive! H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
