In case you didn't notice, the reporter is in UK ........ when he says "30 grand" he is referring to 30,000 UK pounds.

United Kingdom Pounds ----->United States Dollars
30,000.00 GBP = 59,235.50 USD

But of course you don't believe me so you'll just have to use Google to see for yourself.

Vauxhall Monaro VXR 500

"Well, at £35,995, the VXR 500 is nearly half the cost of the next nearest 500bhp two-door. Amazingly, it is even cheaper than the standard Monaro VXR, which is £37,040!"

its too powerful for the U.S.

remember there is no corvette in austraila, so they can make the gto over there as fast as they want which would look the vette over here look slow.


GM will NOT let any other car be faster than the vette which is pretty gay if u ask me

Stock for stock, I say the VXR500 is a better car. Don't know what the price is of the euro GT500 is and dont care. The VXR 500 has better suspension, brakes than the standard VXR and close to 500hp/500 tq and a little lighter than the GT500.

What annoys me is that it has six air bags (front, head, side), yet the American GTO was discontinued because it didn't meet specs for all those air bags.
