[Poncho]

at least you know....

That pic is all sorts of wrong.

First off that pic is of a 2004 Vauxhall vxR Monaro. Not a Holden, Not a Pontiac.

On top of it, it's LS1 powered, i.e. 5.7l

That pic is all sorts of fail right there.

Actually Dan-O, they used the "427" tails all five years in the UK, and those are the OLD 19's All vxR Monaros had 19's to my knowledge.. Those aren't the CV8-R wheels either, the CV8-R wheels were 18's. Look at the rear bumper too, single side exit. Anything LS2 powered would have had the 19" 20 spoke HSV "GTO" wheels.

Oh yeah Smoke shot blocked it My bad your right

Shes still Aussi blood and that what matters. Right Mate !!

[Holeshot]

Oh and the HSV Spoiler is the shit above all I have seen on the Holdens

[Deggy]

Whats the difference between the Holden and Vauxhaul versions?

[88Nightmare]

[Deggy]

Okay, thats what i figured...just the body styling.

[Poncho]

not even close, dipshit.

in general the UK versions were already the "HSV" versions of the OZ counterparts.

They were already hotted up, larger wheels thank the us and oz versions, and then HSV parts like upgrades brakes, rear ends, etc. They also got dealer supported upgrades. Want a Harrop M122 blower? Done, and with a warranty! Want a short throw shifter? Done and with a warranty. Want a full pedders suspension? Done.

Plus there were huge price breaks.

The Monaro in OZ was $60,490 for the regular cv8, and 73990.00 for a HSV model, and 32quid in the UK and 33k in the US. Hell, on Auto Trader Australia there are 2002 Monaros going for 40k

Just look at the prices on the used market. I'm going off of Holden's website for HOLDEN CERTIFIED used cars in all of Australia.

The GTO Sure looks like a bargain now considering this information:
In 2001, the value of one Australian dollar went below 50 U.S. cents for the first time, touching 47.75 U.S. cents in April 2001.
On 28 February 2008, the Australian dollar reached a 23-year high against the U.S. dollar, peaking at 94.98 U.S. cents.


Dan that coupe 60 is awesome, i'm sure like usual, everyone but the US will like it if it's also made were and will be another "failed GTO" Meanwhile you and I will happily drop 35k for whatever Holden/HSV brings us.

No... you guys are all wrong. The correct answer is....

Deggy and 88Papsmear. :thumbsup

[CobaltSSTuner]

deggy, you failed horribly.

[Yooformula]

Dan, the changes you listed are in price and dealer installed items. they are the same car, just different body panels, hell arent they built in the same plant too? its like saying the camaro and firebird are different platforms.

[DRK]

Dan what do you think of the Coupe 60? I want one:drool::drool::drool:

Tell an aussie his HSV GTO is just a Monaro Cv8, and he'll clobber you.

[Poncho]

Jesus I'm moving to Australia, I totally missed that HOLDEN has put in production already a LS7 powered Commodore.

[Deggy]

Help the cause, ****ers

http://www.petitiononline.com/coupe60/petition.html

Signed.

[Poncho]

If Holden builds that coupe, it'll undoubtedly end up here too as a G8 Coupe.

[HY35F2T]

looks kind of like a bmw m3 kind of.:confused

[BadAzzGTA89]

I'd sell my car without any thought provided that car comes with an Orange Metallic exterior and a T-56.

[Holeshot]

Wow this turned to crap quick!! Glad I don't flame peeps for their opinions.

:alcoholic I didn't say anything about the drive train. I think they look pretty similar though. I will say again that the LS platform small block is the best thing GM has ever developed. I also think it's sad that the best car they have to put it in is a Caddy.

[blue_gto_70]

[Poncho]

Hey buddy, good to see you're still around and kickin'

[blue_gto_70]

Yup Yup,

Gonna detail my car tomorrow and get some driving in this weekend. Hit a stupid dog last fall so I had to order a new grill, Can't wait to do that project :(

[Poncho]

Ah, I popped a coon two weeks ago. Rear insert is undergoing repair this weekend, and will be getting repainted body color.
