It's a fair race really, they are around the same price after all.... And yeah get the BMW gts for what £100,000 nah get a vxr8 Bathurst s half the price and 100bhp more... Hmmm
Its VMAX not a race ! the only object is reach the fastest top spead down the back straight through the speed trap. The Monaro and M3 are totally matched on top end if you care to look. The results from this event are here ...
Google VMAX 19th August 2007 for the results. ! ! !
Sold my Monaro VXR a few months ago and boy do I miss it. It was unreliable as hell... I owned it for 3yrs from new and had courtesy cars for approx 18 months of that time! But I wouldn't have changed it for the world. Had the same exhaust conversion as the car in this video plus mental audio and various other performance tweeks. Gotta agree though with certain comments - the set-off and shifting here was pretty poor!!
i got a pontiac GTO (Vauhall Monaro, Holden Monaro) in the USA and man its a beats i happen to have a eaton blower on mine however making it like a VXR500 i like vauxhalls look of the car
@Elementtechnical I have 2 old school Monaro's from the 70's in OZ...very collectable! 1970 HT GTS 350 & 1973 HQ GTS 400 coupe. What kind of horses are you making with the blower?
V8 vs inline 6 no wonder, the holden commodore HSV has about the same preformance as the BMW M5, for those that don't know the monaro is just a 2 door commodore and the HSV (Holden special vehicle) is the top line of them
@Danielhsv0 I like the LS9 but not sure if the chassis can handle it. There needs to be ESP on board to cope with the torque and power. THe normal one has a 5 spd manual or 4 sp auto, I mean 4 sp auto??? Come on. Holden didnt have the sport shift tiptronic until the VE came along in 2006. To me ESP and a nice ZF auto will do the trick.
Monaro clearly wasnt trying then, ive raced a few M3's road and track regardless of E46 or E90 and beat them everytime, nd before you get abusive I own an E90 330D coupe so have nothing against BMW.
That monaro looks heaps better and for more than half the price those M3s are overated piece of shit you have never been in one i can tell and i feel sorry for you

Of course a 6L v8 is going to be faster in a straight line then a 3.3L in-line 6! Make them go around a corner and see who wins

pfft monaro will get killed if it took on an e90, period.
it was obvious that the monaro would win against an e46.
BMW is all class mate, M3 over monaro anyday!
R7shandil 1 year ago
@R7shandil E90 is newer then the monaro. A 4 door VXR8 is as fast to 60 as an E90 m3. The brakes on the e90 are, like all M cars, poor.
