im looking for a 2nd V8 but not just any V8 it has to be reall loud angry roaring beast of a V8,,,ok my budget is 23k Australian so my freinds what do you recommend I do? What car should I be looking at while I trawl through thousands and thousands of 2nd hand V8 commodores? Does anybody know a certain model V8 commodore that willwet my appetite for a loud roaring V8 Lion how many killawatts of horsepower should I be looking at a bare minimum? Your help would be much appreciated as I’m a long time wrx driver who has switched teams and now loves V8 Commodores but knows absolutely nothing about V8’s except they are 100%better car than the WRX

None are loud from factory.

Get anything with an LS, stick an exhaust on it and your good to go.

You could probably get a VF SS for $23k these days. Stick a 3" exhaust on and that should tickle you in all the right places.

The VF is good for about 270kw at the flywheel.

Loudest, buy whatever you want and dump it at the headers.

You sure you have switched teams? You haven't been back on to check any replies. Also Holden V8, 100% better than WRX; in what way, besides more pulling power?
