A real V8 at last
Discussion
I've always loved V8s since early childhood and growing up around V8s and V12s. My dad and his brother were avid car fanatics and between the two of them have owned some incredible motors, a Fezza 250GT(LWB) and '67 AC Cobra to highlite my favourites. I promised myself I would have a nice V8 one day!
Well...got the Monaro VXR at the end of Sept, met up with Brian at Greens in early October to view the essential mods and low and behold I've just got the car back with WORTEC Catback, remap and Rippy. I aint smiled as big since I saw my daughter born.....I delivered her by the way.
Car is fantastic, sound is absolutely incredible, particularly in my home town and cruising at 20mph in 1st and 2nd along a half mile one way high street with high building either side. The service from Greens has been superb, Brian has been at hand every step of the way with advice and updates, service manager on the other end of the phone at any time and of course Paul....delivering the fantastic and essential Wortec goodies. I cant thank all of you enough.
Only snag is I cant get the wife out of the car, she loves it! Have had an interesting two days since I had the car back. Had a DB9 come up alongside me at the lights, driver gestured for me to wind the window down, his words were "I want one....it sounds incredible". Today a guy in a GT2 was behind me all the way from Guildford to Camberley....no way I was letting him past. He caught me at the Watchmoor Park lights and said asked me if it was road legal. He was absolutely gobsmacked and admitted he was genuinely envious of the sound the car was giving off in front of him.
I think WORTEC sells itself, an absolutely fantastic product, one I had researched and experienced before I had taken the delivery of the car. Was pretty simple, thanx to Brian...I knew where my money was going to be spent!!
A massive thanx guys!!
EDIT
Oh I forgot to mention that I popped into the Vaux delers today where I got the Monaro, just to wish everyone a merry Christmas, New Year, 'appy birthday and all that crap, and as I pulled in there the look on their faces was an absolute picture, it was fecking priceless!! Snag is I've promised to take em out one day next week so they can appreciate it properly!

I'm not a GP but enjoy my efforts at Gaenocology.
Agreed that ppl stop and stare and the Ro. Even before the essential mods were done, the car turned heads as it went by, now I revel in the enjoyment of going down a high street with heads already turned.
A very interesing event today....I was leaving the car park at my local town and ahead of me in the high street was a yellow Gallardo and every head in the street gazing at this thing as the bloke was constantly blipping the throttle. I was about 4 or 5 cars behind it. I went by and I could hear the comments such as "the Gallardo doesnt sound anywhere near as nice as that"....and...."its a fecking Vauxhall....sounds incredible", and I blipped the throttle only ONCE! Comments like that and your average bloke gesturing with thumbs up make owning a car like the Monaro an amazing experience. I got alongside the Gallardo a few miles down the road and the guy was obviously staring out of the driver's window on purpose. Now.....at this set of traffic lights, he could have booted it without any problem at all, but he sat there behind me for a good 2 miles before giving a hoot of the horn and a flash of the lights before heading off up a slip road!!
Nothing but good vibes and positive comments since owning this car and nothing but smiles since having the car doctored by Wortec!
