Here's a pic of the latest Holden Monaro, exported to the US and marketed as the Pontiac GTO.
I don't believe this pic is copyrighted.

This is the 6.0 litre GTS version, with 297kw (around 420bhp). Believe me they drive great and have tons of grunt.

credits go to http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/ric...-vz_monaro.htm for the pic.

We have them in Britian, under the name of Vauxhall Monaro Well like round these parts though, same performance as a 911 Carrera 2 but for half the price. Id buy one.


On a different note, had anyone here seen "C'etait un Rendezvous" by Claude LeLouch? Its the ultimate underground film, I purchased a copy off eBay a few days ago and it arrived this morning. What a film! Only 9 minutes long but its basically just a high speed chase through Paris, which was all done for real. LeLouch was supposedly arrested when it was first shown back in the 70's, and the whole thing is shrouded in mystery.

The light blue coupe in the background looks nice.

Anybody seen Getaway Stockholme. Race prepped 911 turbo gets himself into a police chase which lasts about 3 seconds of police being on his tail and about 15 mins all up. Some amazing high speed turns that really make you think, whoa, this guy is nuts but skilled.

They redid it a year later with a supra turbo and a WRX, both race prepped and doing 300km/h on the freeway...

Anyway they're old and nothing spectacular anymore but I've still got a soft spot for the old 911 turbo. This one's got a nice bodykit.

That doesnt even look like a 911 anymore!

Id have a an Ariel Atom 2 with the 300bhp supercharged engine. Nothing comes close.
