    On this weeks Video i take out the 2005 CV8Z limited edition Holden Monaro! witch i thought was going to be stock! lol well.... was i ever wrong! but in a good way haha this Monaro had been modified to somewhere around 700-800HP and was one of the best sounding cars i've ever driven! the noise from the supercharger and the 3 inch exhaust was just magical! I can honestly say this was one of the craziest cars i've ever had on the channel! so i hope you enjoyed it and got some entertainment from my near death test drive of the "modified" CV8Z! lol please like and comment and consider subscribing if your new here.. let me know what other cars you'd like to see in the future :)

      Hi Ross. I have no real details about the modifications yet but should know more in the next few days. I will let you know. I had it checked by my mechanic who is a performance specialist and he said the modifications were done very well but without taking the vehicle apart it would be difficult to know. I will go and see the mechanic who last serviced it as soon as I can.

    @fastmonaro05 5 років тому +24

    Not really a smallish coupe mate. It was based off a full-sized VT-VZ platform designed in secret by Mike Simcoe who is now vice GM president of global design. Back in the days when GM possessed vision and creativity. Even most of GM-H had no idea this car had been created. There was a V6 Buick based Supercharged version and V8 LS1 5.7 Ltr + 6.0Ltr. Supercharger most likely a Whipple but could be a Harrop, Magnuson or Eaton type.T56 gearbox or possibly a Tremec upgrade. Also, AWD coupe made used by HSV. Straight line car????Not for the windies???? LOL. They do handle with full IRS, a good spring and shock combo trust me. We live for the Windies in Oz. If you LOVE the sound try the last VF series with Bi-Modal exhaust. Sound like the god of thunder x 10. But so glad you love the car and it's so sad that you didn't get to experience the HSV version stateside. It's so sad that now Americans are finding out what great cars like this and Ford Falcon were after they were killed off. We love them and will miss them. Find an HSV GTS/GTO version and a Falcon GT or Barra powered Force6 turbo. Then your smile will never leave your face.

    • @RossReviewsau
      @RossReviewsau  5 років тому +3

      thanks for all that info! its small-ish in comparison to the regular sedans they make i was referring to and i said a straight line car more so because it was so heavily modified lol very scary going around the corners 🤣 but this car felt dam good and was way more than i could have ever expected! there are some FPV cars coming to the channel soon.. and HSVs keep an eye out XD

      They indeed made a prototype VE coupe called coupe 60 that was built and displayed. But guess what...….GM killed that too. And the idea of exporting the Ute and Sportswagon to USA. Bob Lutz was a great MD of GM but once he left was replaced with a new breed of bean counter derived people who like Ford had no respect or appreciation for Aussie engineered, designed and built cars.

    How good was this , those gearboxes are great . Expensive to rebuild, $4500 plus $1500 for a decent clutch. Wife used a Cheap Chinese blue steel clutch in her Vz SS , it destroyed the gearbox . It has 300,000 on it and that vz flys along .She was going to sell it because of the gearbox, i said no , been a very good car , Its done a waterpump, radiator and serpentine pulleys. Not bad for 300.000 and the engine is perfect but i oil change every 5,000 . These are good cars ,they go hand but can only imagine how fast that Monaro is being super charged . They sell those supercharger kits for old Mopars but its fast enough how it is. Great review mate love it.

      I owned exactly the same car from new. Old Bill Lee built the 5.7 with exactly the same supercharger he's got on this one. It was Largely a stock motor with cam and upgraded fuel delivery to suite. This was back in 07. It made roughly 470hp.good torque but not overly powerful. I ended up frying the piston so bought an ls2 crate motor and stuck the same supercharger on it making about 427hp,largely stock.that was fun enough. At the time Harrrop & Walkinshaw were starting to bring out these whipple supercharger capable of up to 800+ hp.,but not these little ones. Great car. But the guy driving it is a douche. They are an excellent handling car in the twists if set up right. He's never driven a fast car before because he behaves like a novice.
