		The passing of this six-speed manual gearbox may not be mourned to the same degree as the rest of the car – it has been criticised in the past for a narrow gate and a vague shift-action.
		The Monaro does accompany the serious pace with a corresponding appetite for unleaded, slurping an average of around 20 litres per 100km according to the trip computer during the early stages, while the novelty of the exhaust note was fresh in the mind.

		As Drive reported in November, it's likely that the Monaro will be built in the US from 2007 and other Commodore variants, such as the ute, may follow.
		The Monaro still feels nose-heavy in tighter bends but grip is excellent, body movement is well checked when changing direction quickly and the car's attitude is easily controllable.
		The Americanisation of the Monaro might be controversial but as far as performance is concerned, the VZ is a significant improvement.

		The Monaro is slightly heavier than Commodore, but given so much cubic-inches it should do 0-60 in under 6 seconds.

		While the standard Monaro uses the outgoing Corvette C5's 5.7-litre LS1 V8, the HSV GTO and its European equivalent – Vauxhall Monaro VXR – employs the latest C6's 6.0-litre LS2 engine.

		Sadly for Holden and Monaro buyers, GM's US driveline operations were already in decline and the US componentry in these first Monaros left a lot to be desired.
		Because the abrupt and angular VY tail was not compatible with the Coupe styling, the Monaro was launched with the base level VX rear and a variation of the coming VY front.
		Even if it wasn't for the Monaro's outstanding looks, these stand alone specifications would be enough on their own to make even a four door model a collector's item.

	Holden Monaro - The Real Story - CarPoint Australia
		Prior to the September 2004 VZ Monaro launch, the local Monaro was struggling no matter which way you looked at it.
		Today's Monaro went into production on a worst case scenario of 7500 sales, a pathetically low figure that forced the amazing band of enthusiasts within the company to deliver the new model under incredible cost pressures.
		The reality is that the current VZ Monaro CV8 and its LS1 engine were not slated to meet Euro III when it was all but dead in the water last year.

		And in Pontiac GTO guise, the Monaro will be a revelation, a modern muscle car worthy of the famous appellation.
