Cv8 diff ratio and power output

[91964]

Hi guys, I’m shopping for another Monaro and it seems the price gap between good and bad has widened (as you would expect I guess) we’ll the good ones appear to have held values well and the tired ones are getting cheaper as the mileage rises and conditions worsen.
My previous pre facelift CV8 was great and I had no real areas I disliked other than the gearing. I’m aware the VXR stuff had resolved that issue with closer ratios but what about the Facelift CV8? Are these still on the old diff and original 333bhp ish power out?

Thanks

It’s a tough choice. I’ve seen a nice facelift CV8 but it needs cosmetics, for another £4K I’ve seen a very smart VXR which has exhaust done (one of my must haves and then for another £4K a low mile minter with every essential mod done. I’ve just got to decide where to dive in. I love my cars but I’m a bit of a tight arse! Worst combo!!
