The really Dark Side

[R34]

I'm getting impatient waiting for the V35 to become available here.

After 3 years on the Dark Side with the WRX I was intending returning to the fold.

Trouble is I test drove a new 6speed manual CV8 Monaro and to my surprise liked it so now I'm in danger of slipping to the really dark side....HELP :confused:

[Killer-t]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO then you will be just another common whore driver and get chopped daily :chairshot

I have seen a v35 for sale at that Auto warehouse place across from Skippers in vic park there. its inside the showroom. nice, very nice red car.

Chris - was you daughter there when you did this dispicable act? I am hoping she would have talked you out of it to stay with the V35 idea! I think from now on.... make sure she goes with you when you test drive cars hahaha

Sacrilege!!! BAN HIM! ;-)

The sloppy gearbox of the Monaro, the boatlike handling, the unrefined interior, the uncomfortable seats.

Please make the right decision Chris You know what to do......

They cannot sell that car until compliance approval has been granted.

Who knows when that will be with the government departments taking their time.

I’ve driven that car but it’s an Auto and the red didn’t do it for me.

Went OK but I was hoping to fit a supercharger kit to a manual until I read about the poorly designed American kits and the problems they cause.

APS have a single Turbo kit but will only sell in US not here.

Their TT kit is $15500 which blows costs wayout and makes the new Monaro a better financial option.

But yes it’s just a Dunnydoor unfortunately.

Come on guys, the monaro is not that bad and it doesnt attract the wrong kind of attention on the road. Sure the dash looks like its made of old tic tac packets but it has pretty good grunt and suits the aussie environment ok. A damn good daily driver. U just need and insane R to play with on weekends.

My battle against the NA 35 continues!!!! NA skyline, :spew: who ever heard of such a ridiculous thing.

Chris I reckon go for it

I was dangerously close to buying a Monaro earlier this year .... but the introduction of the LS2 put me off for a bit so I'm going to wait til the GTO's come down in price and then get one of those

As Long As Your Not In A Hurry To Go Any Were! Looked At One On The Dyno And It Only Made 230hp.v8 = Tractor

[Kaido_RR]

i posted this photo before, but here we go again 2dr v35 with impul kit, need i say more;

might aswell through in some mods for that new beast

non turbo never looked soooo good

[R34]

There are plusses and minuses I guess

The interior of the VZ looked pretty good to me especially after the basic WRX.

Not keen on std leather seats but they were comfortable

The boat handling could easily fixed by Wilkinsons suspension.

Got price down from $65k to $59k now dealer rang to say they just bought a car off Rocky Bay raffle winner and can sell to me for $55k drive away.

If someone was silly enough to sell me a good R34GTR for that sort of money I'd be there like a shot.
