New monaro owner

[HSV_V8]

Just a quick hello, purchased my 2005 VXR yesterday....drove it back in possibly the worst conditions anyone could wish for! Swapped my DC5 Integra Type R (another amazing car) for this as I couldn't resist and always fancied a Monaro. Credit crunch...who cares!

How do!

I too came from the Jap fold, I used to drive an over revving torqueless piece of rice (S2000 and CTR) too (still got one). You'll love he lazy V8 power. I do miss the buzz of 8,600rpm+ but the Ro' more than makes up for it.

Enjoy

Welcome to the mad house. Great choice of car the Monaro but then i would say that would'nt i

Actually I have never owned a Jap car, only fords and gm stuff from an Anglia though many falcon's and commodores and the odd fiesta.
I believe they are evil and without character

Ex Cossie and Subaru man myself and have to say the Ro is a perfect replacement as it gives great lazy slugs of power rather than the turbo warp drive experience. The wife and mates said I would swap the Ro within 6 months. They were wrong. Although I do like the look of a used new shape M5.......

Thanks for the welcome! Ive had various other cars before including subaru's, Type R's and various other stuff. At the moment I also have a westfield megablade so that satisfies the high revving part of driving but I love the raw power and brute force from the Monaro, looking forward to getting some use out of it!

Im in an S15 silvia at the moment, after a line of Mantas, Carlton GSi, Omega MV6 etc...
Looking forward to getting behind the wheel of a monaro at some stage! Still saving :-)

Don't do it Lewis, BM's are as common as dog doo. You'd be exchanging relative exclusivity for relative mediocraty!
