I think to compare a genuine VXR 500, in purely value terms, to a modified Monaro is missing the point a little.
Is a modified Sierra Cosworth worth more than a standard Sierra Cosworth RS500 because it’s quicker... No.

Lol

A vxr500 was a dealer special a bolt on blower, zero difference to wormus and his 48 engines.

This isn’t rs500 vs cossie ,

Vxr500 was endorsed by Vauxhall so it wasn’t simply a dealer special. Mine is in no way related to said car. Really not sure what your point is but your misinformed ramblings make you sound like an untrained chat bot.

I think we have all been quite restrained in our view of George Smiley when in actual fact he's a fking bellend.

The only bellend is whoever pays a premium for a non heritage badge

A bit more special than a standard car, plus when released it was a thousand quid cheaper than the standard one.( as per the vid anyway.)

Not sure what all the fuss is about, still a great car at the end of the day. I'm not talking about the one for sale just the VXR500's in general.

I think this is totally missing the point. It’s part of the car’s history and they only did a few of them which for some will make it desirable. No I would not buy one now but I can see the appeal.

It’s the same difference between a HSV and a normal CV8. Same car underneath are they not?

In Aus, the special one was the CV8-Z, not the HSV.

How can the truth be missing the point
