Dont tell me you are back in the market mate?
Why not opt for a superior VXR8? Far more practical!
Hmmm, Richard... Practicality, or looks and rarity? Be honest now mate Why not opt for a superior VXR8? Far more practical!
Unlike most, I never had an issue with the speed/ power/ traction in my old VXR. Remember that standard daily driver that ran 13.1 @ 109

If I was in the market again, I would go for exactly the same model without a doubt.
My only other considerations would be:
6L/ 6.2L with OTRCAI, custom map, cam, and headers - great power/torque and reliability without supercharger insurance worries.
Genuine VXR500 - has its faults and not exactly 500HP with a non-intercooled supercharger in summer heat, but is a rare collectable car that will deliver great fun, and should hold its value in the long run.
IMO: Lotus Carlton = 20 year old rare vauxhall classic commanding premium prices. The '04 VXR and VXR500 should follow the same trend
Anyway, back to the topic... I though someone might recognise the plate (AK54OLR) on this one?. IIRC there were only 13 Silver 04 VXR's, and I've met the owners of 4 of them. I'm trying to work out if this is a 'regular forum car' as well

For the cost of an LS3 mate, drop a 402 in there
Afterall its nothing more than a reconditioned factory engine!
I'd agree with that theory. Better paying the probably minimal additional insurance cost of a reconditioned engine, than explaining a supercharger to them Afterall its nothing more than a reconditioned factory engine!
I've heard they go quite well too
