September 11, 200619 yr Vauxhall unveils two new additions to its swelling VXR stable. The limited-edition VXR500 is based on the standard 6.0-litre Monaro VXR, but uses a new supercharger to crank up the power from around 400bhp to almost 500bhp, with torque up from 530Nm to a quite pant-wetting 677Nm. There’s also an upgraded fuel system, clutch revision and bespoke engine tune, all meaning the Monaro VXR500 can hit 60mph in less than 5 seconds and will do something like 190mph. The Monaro is one on the greatest cars on British roads – and with a £35,995 price tag it’s phenomenal value, seeing as it’s half the price of the next cheapest 500bhp+ car. Damned practical and great to drive, too. Full article: http://www.pocket-lint.co.uk/news.php?newsId=4696
September 11, 200619 yr Probably because it wasn't uncommon to see dealers sell this thing below MSRP just because it looks like a Sunfire on BALCO... ... Sad how no one in North America took notice of the GTO...
