    Cool cars. My Father has been selling HSV's since 1990 so Ive been brought up with them.
    Shame you guys dont get the Maloo (ute version).
    Bang for you buck, you cant go past a HSV (VXR).

      We DO get the Maloo - and I for rather pheckin like it - completely bonkers - yet utterly practical for all those trips to the hardware shop for all the big stuff that doesnt fit a normal car.

        As for the petrol it doesn't use anymore fuel that any other car with equivelent horse power around 440
        I can't see the point of buying a car like that if you cant afford to put petrol in it!!

          Untill you get to a set of traffic lights on red and some hoody or chav nicks what you have in the back - as what happened to Clarkson when he tested the Ford F350 on top gear

                Really? Cool.
                Ive never seen anything about it in the UK media (I buy EVO magazine religiously) and it doesnt seem to be on the VXR website.
                Is the Tourer (wagon) out in the UK as well?

                      Get the Wortec exhaust, we entered the show and shine at performance vauxhall show at the pod this year in a white astra vxr rep [and won], some chap had a monaro 6.0 vxr with the wortec system near us, it sounded insane on the rollers! It's a shame he couldnt didnt have the talent to make use of the power on the strip!..

                      Another bloke had a Holden HSV pick up, i believe he had similar power, now he could drive, he must have hit just under 13 seconds quartermile, only to be beaten by a gold coloured vauxhall nova
