Comparison to an e39 M5.
Discussion
Had both a Ro and an M5 once.
M5 was better built and a balanced car but needed looking after otherwise it went off quick
Ro is rougher but more of an experiance. Basic engineering ment it was easier to look after and cheaper.
Buy a 10k Ro and enjoy yourself and save money by DIY servicing if you can hold back from modding past an exhaust.
Buy a 8k M5 and you will pay dearly to keep it in good shape if you use it.
Both cause people to chat but the Monaro does more if only cos the badge does not shout Tosser!

I'll pick out the truth from the above:M5 was better built and a balanced car but needed looking after otherwise it went off quick

M5 was better built and a balanced car
I have an e39, have had ro's and had vxr8 too. The 39 is unquestionably better built but it isn't as fun to drive. Its more refined, it handles better but it isn't the event. Servicing is just as cheap and they only cost a fortune if you buy a pup.
If I still had all three on the drive it would be hard to choose which to drive. Certainly the M is the most conspicuous, you don't get noticed and to anyone that doesn't know what an M is, its just an old beemer. Between the Ro and the VXR8, the Ro is by far the better build quality inside and the nicer place to be but the VXR8 is the more modern, just a step down in quality over what the Ro was. All go equally as quick as each other, I might know of a really nice Le Mans blue M5 for sale with all the toys
