I have to add that they have trouble keeping up with a cooper away from traffic lights and when it comes to 270 degree freeway on ramps they get left far behind - as do Monaros

Turbo or not???

yep I know that a MCS will leave them for dead

, I do it quite often at traffic lights

. But you have trouble fitting five in a MCS, so even though my wife would have love to have purchased a second MSC ( indio blue with white roof ,she was sooo close to ordering it

) but she had to settle for something a little larger to fit in the two kids , the girlfrend(eldest kids),dog ,cat and other things that they put in family cars. so she purchased the falcon XR6. The MCS is mine just to drive too and from work and the odd weekend drive just for two.
