wallace9 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I used to have one of them and loved it. Fantasic engine albeit a bit on the slow side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmunky Posted August 19, 2008 Author Share Posted August 19, 2008 I used to have one of them and loved it. Fantasic engine albeit a bit on the slow side. I know what you mean but its supercharged and running 530bhp so that should hopefully solve that issue. What are the LS2 engines like for reliability?

wallace9 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I only had mine for just over a year but never had any probs with it. I think I would have kept it a bit longer if it was running more than 500bhp though Probably won't do the reliability much good though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmunky Posted August 20, 2008 Author Share Posted August 20, 2008 Pictures as promised, WHAT A BEAST! Holden 5.7lt V8 Supercharged running 530bhp (not bad for a daily driver) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Nice car that, i see your post on the hsv forum saying you was getting it. is it intercooled? What are the LS2 engines like for reliability? Thats a LS1 in your car;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmunky Posted August 20, 2008 Author Share Posted August 20, 2008 Yeah all intercooled the only problem is the pipes are so large for the intercooler the bumper need refitting, sorry yeah found out its model after the post a LS1 CV8 VX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmunky Posted August 20, 2008 Author Share Posted August 20, 2008 I believe there is only around 6 VX CV8 in the country but you can get the Vauxhall Monaro CV8 without a supercharger for around 11/12k then around 6k more for a supercharger there is a really nice one on pistonheads for 16k already upgraded will find the link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl_S Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 To my eyes it looks like a 1992 vauxhall cavalier. So understated, to have that as a company car would be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
