Given that it is the 400bhp LS2 6.0 engine - this has got to be cheap. It was their ex demo car so will have at least 2 owners. Give it a year and I suspect it would be down to say

On that basis, I wonder when we'll start seeing them as high hitting QTR milers ...

When the price to buy one is this low- pretty soon I would think. This drops into the near affordability market for someone who wants to spend

A mate of mine took his stock Monaro to Avon park his is the standard 5.7l , his first run he was taken out by a pug 306 and his second by a Cooper S , he had real trouble getting out of the 15''s , he eventually cracked the 14's with a 14.8

I didnt see his runs but it must be a difficult car to launch well, or perhaps he is just a really really bad driver;)

The standard Monaro with the LS1 5.7l runs some 340bhp, the LS2 is 400bhp.

I suspect the driver was a bit of a novice at launching a car, as I would have expected at least mid 13s.

Its got Big Bhp but the weight is also Big too! Never going to be that quick in standard form but as already said, the potential is huge
