Still the best car footage to date. No music. No commentary. Just man and machine as one.

That is INSANE!

Default Not only do we lose out on money, but power also! ***VIDEO REVIEW VXR500 MONARO***

CLICK ME ---> VXR500 MONARO 5TH GEAR REVIEW

Interesting video I've found, despite the fact we are a Ford forum I thought this video review was actually pretty interesting.

Its essentially a HSV GTO but Vauxhall have created a Special Edition version you can buy in Britian that comes with a supercharger and makes 500hp and costs 30k GBP which is LESS than a standard version! out:

I wonder why our aussie manufacturer counterparts arent doing anything bold like this?
Even though I vaguely remember HSV releasing a supercharged clubbie for limited offer it was only 430hp or something.

Anyway, watch the video review if you are interested. I'm not biased, I love both Holden and Ford so I'm happy.

There's also been a comparison done on this car to Ford's latest powerhouse,

Vauxhall Monaro VXR500 v Shelby Mustang GT500
