Jason, a HSV isn't a Monaro. This is the only reason I didn't buy one and bought a CV8 instead, apart from the fact that the HSV's are so tacky looking compared to a V2. At the time GTO's and CV8 wee exactly the same price secondhand. GTS was a little dearer. The best value of all is a V2, low kM examples are still cheap. I originally looked for a manual but after driving an auto would never buy a 6spd again. I had a VY SS ute 6spd at the same time, V2 auto is a heaps better car.
I'm a country lad Byron so a manual is a must for me!

I did look at a CV8 when I was in Adel. Black, 63,000km on the close. holden warranty etc. Absolutely mint and original. $30,000. I myself like the GTS. But finding one suitable with low KM and original is the issue....

I know they are not a monaro HSV's. But thats the exact reason why I don't want one lol. I like the HSV Coupes. The GTS especially.
