Yes...that is the model. I was thinking of offering $10k for it. I`m just

worried about the mechanical problems with it.

Didn`t mention whether it is a convertible or not, the ragtop is about $1500

higher. I agree with the fact that vettes are cheap especially this time of

year. As far as the engine problems sounds like electronics and is probably

not major, Can and do you do your own work? Or at least have a handle on a

good mechanic, that is vette savvey? The 96 was a great car and the silver

collector edition was the best of all, well, except the grand sport! See if

you can get him down to a reasonable price, after you get the problems

checked out. I wouldn`t be scared off at anything under $15000. Been

looking for one myself, to go with the 84 and 78 PC. LOL Good luck!

Title: Holden VXR
Date: Sat, 26 Sep 2009 12:19:02 +0000
Author: Limboy

My brother and I were watching an episode of Top Gear this afternoon, and we were discussing why Singapore never had a Holden VXR.

Yes, despite it being a V8 5.6L engine, it still one of the cheapest around, with a supercharger at less than S$70,000. If you had seen one of Top Gear Australia (they feature Holdens all the bloody time), the supercharger’s whine is simply orgasmic – on top of the deep bellow of the V8. Closer rivals are the Chysler 300C, and Jaguar… something.

All produce about 340-400 bhp, enough to pull the entire Singapore to Melbourne.

So why isn’t anybody importing the VXR?
