we were, until it wouldn't start 2 weeks ago :( $6000 later and it's back in action! except for the power rear shade, which stopped working a few days ago. after all it ain't an LS 400. the sense of superiority you have while driving it though is definitely one of it's best accolades
MIG-31 Foxhound - Flight to the unknown - Russian Aircraft

я служил на аэродроме ,задавал курс посадки им за станцией ...
очень громкие агрегаты ,когда находишься в 10-20 метрах под ними и они
форсируют ,взлетая ,направляя сопла в тебя ,кишки просто выворачивает ,бас
такой что тошнит ,ощущение как будто внутренности перемешивают ,даже
испугался от этого :)
испугался не самого шума и или самолета ,а именно того что подумал что все
у меня отвалится сейчас ...
зверюги просто ...
потом привык и спал даже ,НОРМАЛЬНО ,хрен разбудишь спал ,проспал один раз
все палеты ,и меня потеряли ,но когда пришли за мной ,вовремя проснулся
,мол зачитался и идти лень обратно было а телефон типа сломался :)))
This thing is a beast.
The mighty SR-71 stopped overflying the USSR because 2 MiG-31s,
automatically networking with the ground based AA in the area, were able to
get an all angle lock on a Blackbird. At that point, the SR-71 was forced
to turn back and the Blackbird never again overflew Soviet airspace. Within
two years, the Blackbird was mothballed, because it was no longer a
relevant aircraft.
Sold my Monaro VXR a few months ago and boy do I miss it. It was unreliable
as hell... I owned it for 3yrs from new and had courtesy cars for approx 18
months of that time! But I wouldn't have changed it for the world. Had the
same exhaust conversion as the car in this video plus mental audio and
various other performance tweeks. Gotta agree though with certain comments
- the set-off and shifting here was pretty poor!!
@Danielhsv0 I like the LS9 but not sure if the chassis can handle it. There
needs to be ESP on board to cope with the torque and power. THe normal one
has a 5 spd manual or 4 sp auto, I mean 4 sp auto??? Come on. Holden didnt
have the sport shift tiptronic until the VE came along in 2006. To me ESP
and a nice ZF auto will do the trick.
Its VMAX not a race ! the only object is reach the fastest top spead down
the back straight through the speed trap. The Monaro and M3 are totally
matched on top end if you care to look. The results from this event are
here ... Google VMAX 19th August 2007 for the results. ! ! !
CSL won anyway if you guys care to check ! Google this... VMAX 19th August
2007 for the results. Its the V Max event, the task is to get the top speed
down the back straight its not an off the line drag. So the CSL IS faster
in a staight line.
Maybe not, but you said "add a turbo or a supercharger to it and i
guarantee you'll be seeing dust if you're in the monaro lol" which is
totally irrelevant to handling and therefore I assumed you were talking
about straight line speed.
V8 vs inline 6 no wonder, the holden commodore HSV has about the same
preformance as the BMW M5, for those that don't know the monaro is just a 2
door commodore and the HSV (Holden special vehicle) is the top line of them
Monaro clearly wasnt trying then, ive raced a few M3's road and track
regardless of E46 or E90 and beat them everytime, nd before you get abusive
I own an E90 330D coupe so have nothing against BMW.
Interesting. I suspect if you put both these cars around The Ring, the M3
would blitz the Monaro lap time. Straight line speed is one thing, carrying
it through corners is quite another!
It's a fair race really, they are around the same price after all.... And
yeah get the BMW gts for what £100,000 nah get a vxr8 Bathurst s half the
price and 100bhp more... Hmmm
That monaro looks heaps better and for more than half the price those M3s
are overated piece of shit you have never been in one i can tell and i feel
sorry for you
pfft monaro will get killed if it took on an e90, period. it was obvious
that the monaro would win against an e46. BMW is all class mate, M3 over
monaro anyday!
Cant deny the fact that the BMW has superior engineering, add a turbo or
supercharger to it and i guarantee you'll be seeing dust if you're in the
monaro lol
