The 'loser' refers to the Rugby game. They love the car.

Some of the reviews they've given the Monaro on that show match ferrari's, lambos or whatever. They absolutely love it.

I think one of the reviews they said it was the most fun to drive car they've ever been in.

But let the holden bashing carry on :D

Its one thing test driving a brand new car, its another living with it and watching it age, break down and rear its ugly head.

Monaro is a good bang for your buck but matching it against a Ferrari? :D

So are you saying Italian built cars, particularly Ferrari are paragons of reliability & build quality? :( They are actually one of the few makes worse than Holden. :D

Everything is relative. I meant in their enthusiasm for the car.

If the Monaro cost $400,000 I doubt it would be met with such enthusiasm :D

Bang for buck wise, they love it.

No, the Ferrari for what its worth is not reliable at all, they are getting much better these days but in the past the engines had to be rebuilt often.

If you want to put it that way, a Ferrari is merely a status car... definately not worth the price and hassles as a track car unles your Bill Gates.

Historically Ferraris sounded pretty & looked pretty. But they were badly built & handled badly. Their handling is much improved nowadays which is in marked contrast to their looks.

    • Wonder if JB Weld sponsored the event lol
    • There's a big difference between a car built with millions of dollars in R&D, and someone like yourself taking a normal sporty road car, and making it 5 times more powerful. At the same time, get a modern sports car, and you can turn them up towards the 1000hp mark a lot easier too. Also, give that Lambo another 20 odd runs, and chances are it too may break something.
    • There isn’t really a cheap upgrade here. If someone made a decent, bolt in 6 speed that holds some grunt, it would do very well. The 5 speeds suck. You can put a - OSG 5 speed gear set into it. Ratios are tall so it zaps the “zing” out of it. Had one, busted it. - PPG 5 speed gear set synchro or dog’s. Ratios are even taller. - An overpriced Getrag. Nice to drive, expensive to source now. - A sequential of some sort. Expensive, very expensive. How many times do you pop a 5 speed before you throw the toys out of the cot?  
    • Yes, fair call. I don't have any special love for super/hyper cars but it was impressive to watch the Lambo line up against successive skylines without any problem at all. 
    • Ok. What is the go to transmission upgrade that can handle some abuse with around 700nm at the hubs? Must be quiet gears as the car is being street used.
