Well after 6 years of ownership I've decided to have a break and change from Impreza's. I've learned a hell of a lot whilst here and from going to local and national meets, made some good friends also.

I'm sure I'll be back to the fold one day but for now I want to experience a different marque and driving style, so I've gone a bought a VXR8 (09) with some nice subtle mods, wheels, stiffer springs and exhaust system to name a few bits. Owned also by a fellow enthusiast and well looked after.

Fair well for now.

 

I too am suffering from the v8 itch, monaro supercharged or audi s4 are on my list

 

Was the right time for me, the noise is very infectious, full Walkinshaw system with what they call the supercar back box, sounds great.

 

A mate on here got a very quick JDM STi that got his **** handed to him by a supecharged VXR8 in the summer. Spoke to the guy who was on the way to the car show we was attending(he got there first) and he said he was running 700bhp

 

Yeah heard of a few running that kind of power, the chap I bought the car off knew a guy running 700+ in a supercharged version, he said it was like being in a roller coaster when he went full throttle. Coincidently the guy I just bought this off also used to run a JDM Hawk running close to 500 bhp.

 

I like the VXR8

 

Like, ive thought about these, but no estates

 

They do now Not sure if they are import only though..

 

Interesting, I wonder how the look though. Probably out of my price range though

Get some pics up, how rude of you.

 

My bad, here you go...







And the estate if your interested..

 

Ohh yeah man sweet.
Let me go check estate prices

 

I like it.... it's very subtle in its looks isn't it? Not Looks great though in all seriousness, V8s are where its at

 

Can't find an estate, but 20isk k not bad, thought they'd be more

P.s the estate does look a bit fugly from the rear too.

 

And the rest, £49500 for the estate.

I like, looks a bit like a jag xf shooting brake.

 

I was just going by average used prices say 2009 for saloon.

 

Kedlestone, there is a great HSV section on Pistonheads that should introduce yourself to they are a very friendly bunch and there is a fountain of knowledge with regard to the LS engine


Ex monaro VxR owner

 

Nice one L.J.F, I've actually already been on there to find out some info, very helpful place.

 

Estate version hasn't been around long, so if you can find one it'll be a fair chunk of cash still.

 

Oh dear, too much money then
