I have no idea where your old car is, but interestingly according to the DVLA it’s taxed until July next year but the MOT expired July 18 this year.

I think my old car ended up down in Ayrshire somewhere and I know the owner had it sorn'd for a while I thought he might have been on here

You sound like some retarded chat bot.

Timing significantly retarded due to lack of sufficient cooling, well remembered

Am old subject but still got my ‘500’. One if the original 14 in Phantom Black. Still goes like S*** of a shovel. Made an Aston driver blush just last week. Evidently he did not know what one was 🤣. Does now!!! Gives you a smile you can park a car in every time! Liking the prices rising gradual for ‘the real deal’. Still only 22K on her! Only had to change the st AP discs for proper Aussie Iron. Oh! and the badge for a Holden original.

^^^ Nice to hear. How long have you had it?
500 supercharged horses are going to go like the clappers in any decade!
I'd love to supercharge mine!

The vxr 500 is Over priced

That's because its a centrifugal type, which is essentially a belt driven turbo.
Very similar to the Procharger kit, the route I'd be interested in trying.

A procharger is the only way to go they Awsome kits

Yes, they have a whine. You can opt for a quieter gear set though for reduced noise which I would do.

They wine like a old washing machine

Obviously you are speaking from experience, do these kits also add some bottom end shove?

when I had my monaro ls1 with a D1 high output procharger with 720bhp 620lbft 590rwhp it could drive around like a 1.1 fiesta or a beast from Hell lol

Are there any original VXR500’s for sale at the moment.
Was looking at these before I got my VXR8 all those years ago, probably 6 yrs ago.
Now in a C63 AMG. Loved my VXR8 though, bloody mad.

[Ronaro]

Bet that AMG is just as, if not more bonkers than a VXR8.

[Dave3166]

C63 does go like stink & sound awesome, but VXR8 had more character
