Thunder from Down Under

Pricing and Spec confirmed for V8 Monaro

---

The new Vauxhall Monaro will be available from spring 2004. Power will come from a 5.7 litre V8 engine developing 328hp and 347lbs/ft of torque. Just 300 will be brought to the UK.

The car will be sold in the UK with a comprehensive specification including leather eight-way electric seats, 18 inch alloy wheels, full size driver, passenger and side airbags, electronic climate control and six-disc autochanger.

Prices start at a very attractive £28,500 although Vauxhall will have to work hard at beefing up their image to maintain decent residuals.

Kevin Wale, Vauxhall's Managing Director, blurted: "The Vauxhall Monaro is a great car for the real enthusiast. The Monaro is an icon in Australia and I am sure the UK car enthusiast will thoroughly enjoy it ."

I can see one absolutely HUGE problem just by looking at the photo.

It appears that some goon has put a vauxhall badge on it.

Kiss of death IMHO

Rip that off, let 'boostedLS1s' mates loose on it and

presto

something to go to the shops in
