Just a query really. Having seen a few of you turning up at the Breakfast Clubs and Pub Clubs i just wanna know what your experiences are with the VXR8. Are they reliable, cheap to run (for a performance car) and fun to drive? The current price tag is rather tempting and potential for some massive bang for your buck is huge. Convince me!

Oh nearly forgot... I think Sewards in Branksome has one in the back. It was silver I believe? Also they have a racing edition of the VXR that might be worth a punt if you are trying for test drives.

Yeah they got them in for me to test. It'll need to special for me to consider a change though.

I reckon you will change, from what I have seen of them, they seem well worth the money and everyone who has one tends to have a stupid big grin plastered on their face. I know if I had the money I would buy one.

When I worked for a local VXL dealer i drove a standard 6.0 and the later ls3? 6.2 with the Wortec upgrades and switchable exhaust - my god what a sound, and a comfortable car - even with the 20's on it.

When i can, i'm getting one - not bothered about 6.0 or 6.2 at present!
