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.
