Hello all, I recently purchased my VXR monaro on Thursday (04/09/08) and I am well pleased (apart from the crack in the windscreen from a stone chip after 10mins of driving!!!!) Any way it has a personal plate on it is "V8 0 HSV". So if anyone is interested, make me an offer. I'm not sure what its worth but if it's not much I might as well keep it, so we shall see.

Cheers, I have to say I have a Vauxhall based issue (I'm rebuilding a cav mk2 which will be red topped) so actually like the griffin badges. I was looking for a monaro for over a yr, finally got V8 0 HSV last week and it's got some upgrades AP brakes, wortec performance kit (quiet section fitted), tracker, and loving it. I need to get the retrofit switchable valving gubbins so that it make the proper V8 roar at the touch of a button!

Or do what I did. Save myself £1k and just have it loud all the time - no switching. On the LS2 Monaro it works out quite nicely. Quiet when you're cruising, loud when you're hoofing it. Was worried about droning, but it's fine.

I've got the straight through section (swap over) that allows the silly loud, but leaving for work in the morning at 06:30 will mean that it will get key-ed by the neighbours! That and the fact on a motorway run, it would be nice to have the option of swiching it off.

Electronic switching all the way for me. £600 well spent. Only realistic option to keep the 'Ro ok as a daily driver.
