Oh, sweet music from that tailpipe! (Shame about the transmission whine though.) Can't get enough of this V8 Symphony. Muscle cars rule!

That is fuggin amazing, although sounds like a baby crying on the return runs lol

either way some of the best cars you can buy in that price range without a doubt, people dont buy them purely because they havent test driven them before making their other brand purchase such as a beemer or merc

day in day out these cars are unbelievably fun to drive.... basing my opinion on a Monaro 6.0 i drove which was an animal one of the best cars ive driven

Loving that, the emphasis on the drop is justified in that article, looks so much more agressive sound is just

BTW - Robbo is that the bloke you know in the feature, was getting rid of his M5 for the gtr?

That sounds slightly mental! Would love one of those!

Do they still have the VXR badge stitched into the seats?

The 1st one in the vid with the silver wheels looks very very nice!
