A nice looking early CV8 with Vxr wheels 8)
You say potato, I say potaato ::) it's an early build from the position of the fuel filler, also gets a full size boot... Just don't reverse into anything at speed ie off a wet bend/roundabout :D




Actually its a reasonably late one although built 04 like them all over here it is first registered December 05.  :y

I've always preferred the VXR 6.0 styling, not sure why. The more aggressive bonnet and small rear spoiler really set it off, still one of the best cars I've sat in comfort wise.

The CV8 is nicely understated imho, kind of an Omega Coupe... Upgrade the brakes to Wortec or Ap then uprate the clutch,crank, pistons and cam them finally finish it off with a nice little super charger 8)

If preferred, there's very little from the vxr that won't bolt straight on. Afaik.

....provided the parts are available of course.


Re upgrades, how bigs your wallet?  :o

I've never been a fan of Monaro's or VXR8's but I have to admit that a black Monaro could grow on me!  As Al says kinda an understated Omega Coupe.   8)

Enjoy!  :y

It is the exact same size  :y and many parts are interchangeable I believe it is a more hard drive than the omega and suspension is tighter  :)

According to Mr Monkfish, there's plenty of ls2's punting out similar power with no issues. Rob was just unlucky. (Piston snapped over the gudgeon pin.)

....according to Mr Monkfish that is.
