BRIT BLOWN MUNRO - The Brits make a Mad Max-inspired supercharged Monaro ... If only their cricket team had as much spunk

摘要

Indy 500, Fender Bender 500 and Houston 500. Whether it's world famous race events, Hanna Barbera cartoons or adult film 'endurance' competitions, the big number always carries weight. And with the Monaro VXR 500, things are no different. The bootlid badge translates to 500hp (373kw) and 500lb/ft (677Nm), thanks to a supercharger bolted atop the 6.0-litre ex-Corvette LS2 V8. Which translates to a satanic exhaust note and relentless acceleration. Which translates to big smiles, big drifts and big speeding fines. Hardly a let down, the then.
