Has anyone viewed any of the supercharged Monaros advertised on this website and on the Autotrader website? If so, any thoughts/observations? (I am trying to avoid a possible wasted journey)

Yeah, they are all too slow and girls drive them like Bonnie.

Go and buy an LS3 VXR8

Hi Julianwavey Great choice in motorsclapI'm not to sure about the Monaro's advertised mate but there are some really helpful guys and girls on here that should be able to help you. About SC'd Monaros being "too slow" Your more than welcome to join us at Shakespears Raceway on the 16th May. I think you may fair few VXR8's getting there asses whipped by "slow Monaro's"yes
Take no notice of Ringram, he has nightmares about powerful women. They scare him to death. He'll be alright

Theres only one on this website. First thoughts were that its a bit expensive; second thoughts were 'perhaps not'. Loads of money spent on it, and loads of choice bits. Low mileage and in the fastest colour! In terms of performance, far quicker than any non supercharged VXR8, and far better looking too!

Mind you, at the moment, you'd be better off with a Land Rover! L.O.L.

All good so far except the stock hydrolic clutch setup.

I hope Gareth can be bothered tuning his up properly too, 50%+ of the cam power will be in the tune.

Dont have belt slip... just change them regular now! Easy DIY once you have it mastered.
I hope you dont break something at the strip Rich if your going to be running sticky tires!
