I do love the monaro but in my opinion from some angles it doesn't look the best....for me this picture it the total opposite, looks great, really love the lines from front to back.

Great car and i love it to bits but lure of a V8 is a tempting one....but then so is popping a GTM supercharger to the zed.

Not be able to do any work myself (due to zero mechanical skills) it would fall to someone like abbey motorsport and as my car is totally standard, right down to the exhaust, i wouldn't get any change out of 10k (the charger alone would stand me in about 4k).....I would however have 500bhp in a beautiful looking car....it's a heck of a lot of money but I would have a heck of a lot of car that ticked all of my boxes rather than switching into something else and like now potentially hankering for more.

All in it would be about the same as the monaro then, there must be plenty of owners who pick up an LS2 monaro, love it for a good while then fancy more, before you know it your well in the red...but grinning from ear to ear every time the key is turned...it is a conundrum.

Can i ask how you made piece (slightly dramatic choice of words I know...) with investing the sort of money you clearly have in your monaro?

I'm not in a position to supercharge my car at the moment but i'm realistically only a year out, i have been having a real battle with myself about if spending that sort of money is totally mental or not....especially when I could just get a 911/370/ZM4 or even a monaro/VXR8....but knowing what i'm like I imagine I'd only start looking at modding again and thus the circle of evil begins all over again.
