Demand & Supply suggests its a good time to sell if you are thinking of it then..

Ive noted numbers of VXR8's isn't huge either.

with prices of other performance cars sky rocketing I think people may be looking at alternatives in their price range and seeing how much metal/performance you get for your money.

Since i bought mine, about 2 months ago. I've seen nothing worth buying, very pleased with my purchase, i've seen once almost the same as mine, with similar mileage for 3.5k more than mine, but thats it. I feel selling mine wont be a problem!

Dutch Auction. I've done that before. smile

I thought all the yellows were early CV8s. That one advertised is a small boot model. confused

There are those that would rather I (and a few others) weren't here. wink

I keep a low profile most of the time. It saves aggro.

Yes, yellow VZ are the fewest in number of all variants.

Have you still got your VZ Rich? If not, when and where did it go?

Hi Rob, yes I still have it, still very shiny too. cloud9

It's next big outing will be Thunder Road where my only aim is to return the wooden spoon to ARAF. I won it at the karting event last month, and I'm fairly confident that I won't need to look after it for long. wink

Are you doing TR again this year?

Yes I'm signed up, but very busy with work in August, so fingers crossed I can make it. Was hoping I could wrangle an entry with a C6 ZR1, but it's not permitted for understandable reasons. So it will be the Monaro, but still looking forward to it.

My prediction for the wooden spoon is something going bang and coasting over the line, so unlikely to be one of the near stock entries.

Gareth and R Ingram for surprises of the day if the tune and diff ratio are optimised.

It'll be ok, but the mile with 3.46 gears, MM6, Atmo requires 600fwhp and big cube torque to pull 5th to 6500+ rpm.

3.46 and MM6 ratios will get you 145+ with stock power. I'm still planning on handing the spoon to ARAF tongue out

CV8 stock power? I should be ~35% over that at least wink

ARAF is welcome to the spoon!
