I had a little play with a Monaro VXR the other day with my standard MY06 STI. He pulled out in front of me from a roundabout, when the carriageway turned into a dual carriageway he put his foot down and so did I. I was right on his tail until we had to pull in as it turned back to single carriageway again.

Wasn't me

Obviously you need to check out and make sure its not the weedy 328bhp model.

There are four versions with 328, 350, 380 and 400bhp

Maybe it was this one....

With 404PS of power supplied by the Corvette’s 6.0-litre LS2 V8, the new Monaro VXR is set to be the first ever production Vauxhall to top 180mph
