6-speed manual gearbox remains in place. The Bathurst S also gets an assortment of visual enhancements and an optional two-mode exhaust system that lets it be whisper quiet or V8 loud (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/up.gif)

Nope, still don't like it.  Much prefer the Monaro.

Looks like a Mod'ed Ford Escort from the front...(http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/down.gif)

Yeah but 560bhp and 527 lb-ft torque (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/drive.gif)  (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/drag.gif)

Where exactly are you able to get a US$1.83 per GBP exchange rate...???

thas quite nice really... i'd have one of those.. is it a factory spec car ?

Shame the CTS-V isn't close to that price although to be fair I wouldn't expect a Caddy to cost the same as a Vauxhall.

V Good value I must say, although I wouldn't give that much for a car with a Vauxhall badge on it.

hmm not keen on the white but :drool: nice engine in it !! (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/up.gif)

I would, especially in the white....

I love it....
