Looks the mutts nuts! Something a bit different than the usual rep mobile too.

Are the roof and other black bits factory? As said, we NEED more pics and details!

I would love a vxr8, but I can't justify one right now.

But they would suit me I feel. Large, noisy, unrefined.

As we've seen on here, with the will, they can be pushed to 800bhp without much hardship!

I thought it might be my Boss's old car with all the Walkinshaw bits but having done a bit of digging it appears not.

ENJOY:-) These Holden/Vauxhalls are bloody brilliant , so damn reliable an barely depreciate at all.

yeah they can easily reach 800bhp you really don't need all that power to be fair the car is fast enough as it is just put a cool exhaust on them and you will be very happy I am very surprised about the amount of people that just look at it everywhere I go its like something they have never seen before haha but yeah they are awesome cars and can go on forever if well looked after and the price of them at the moment is just amazing for what you are getting... that's just what I think tho

Nice cool

Really enjoyed mine. Terrible MPG, obviously (17mpg average on mixed A/B) but they sounded great, went well and we very keen to go sideways.
