You mean the "Official" ones... there were only 15 of them

[willisit]

Yeah it's all the same though isn't it - yours is no less a 500 than any other

[jfk1958]

You have to admit the 500 does have the 'Pose' factor

In that case, I'm #16

[greens vauxhall]

15 Official customer cars + 3 PR cars at the moment. They may not stay as 500's though so dont count in the official numbers.

You can buy a brand new one and do your own conversion for 31k. some sellers REALLY do have inflated ideas on the worth of some cars

31 k plus £headers exhaust ripshifter brakes suspension got to be another 6- 7 k of wortec extras assuming it as all extras as stated =38 grand and no warranty i know which one i would rather have !!!!! plus residual of one of the official 15 as got to be better than standard!

[well_fans]

New VXR - 26995
Ripshift - 350 (any more they're taking the p - its about 250+VAT to import last I checked)
AP's - 2500 from LSV
Headers - 600 (and thats pushing it coz again they retail for around 700-1000$ Aus)
Exhaust - 1600 (should cover it be it Wortec or LSV, 800 if go to the US)
Supercharger - UK Price 5-5.5k, US Price 3-3.5K (know which one I'd go for)
Suspension - 2000 Lets put on a decent set of Pedders street sets complete with all the bushes etc sourced from US, reckoned to be the dogs danglies as far as suspension goes.
EFiLive Tuning software - 500 (see ringram for exact pricing - not necessarily needed as most US supplied supercharger kits also come complete with a tune and the programmer to upload it, still desirable piece of software to have mind you)
Rolling road hire - 60 an hour to dial it all in (remember bonnet up )
Friendly Mechanic to install - 40-50 an hour or diy

Voila - a car to more than match the standard VXR500 spec which iirc didnt include AP's, ripshift or suspension as standard....Still no warranty mind you :-)

Course the easy option is still to say sod it and buy the whole thing as supplied by Greens and be done with it. Depends how keen you are in buggering about with your car and a set of spanners.

A 500 without the badges is good
