Wow, what series is that going to race at? I watch a lot of speed channel and I have not seen that in any race yet. Is not going to debut next year? It's kind of in the middle of the season already to debut ain't it?
That red GTO is GOREGEOUS!!! Now THAT'S what Rhys's car should look like!! Only thing that I would need change would be make the hood c/f, enlarge the lower opening for better cooling and add some wheels like these.
Ill tell all you guys whats going on. The Pontiac GTO, is infact an exported version of our (australia) own Holden Monaro, but with a different nose. I dont know about you, but i think the Aussie version has a much more sexy nosepiece.
Silverghost: At the momment, the only thing the Monaro/GTO is officially racing in is the Bathursst 24hr race, tuned to 650hp i belive with the 7 litre V8. The V8 supercars are based on production car sedans, the holden commodore, and ford falcon.
Official Holden Bathursst 24hr Entry, 7 Litre Monaro
The Stock Monaro
And the HSV (Holden Special Vehicles) GTS Coupe. This is a production car, pulling 300kw from the showroom with a 5.7liter V8, also featuring 19x9's and a VERY drift happy suspension setup.
And finnaly, when it comes to simple slide action, i dont think much beats the 255kw (i think) SS Ute, with a VERY VERY loose rear end
Originally posted by chrisfromda909 the holden SS UTE is just hideous.
I cant agree, i think its pretty cool, like a modern el camino "the road" I think it would make an awsome drift vehichle. If pontiac offered to sell something similar here i would like to try one.
Yeah I agree that the Monaro has a lot better sheetmetal than the GTO. I absolutely LOVE the HSV Maloos. Corvette power, great looks and a 4' bed. What's funny is that in Austrailia they are actually affordable cars as opposed to over here where they sell the GTO for 30k just because they can.
p.s. Anybody know where I can get some more pics of the HRT 427 Monaro and the V8 supercars?
Hmmm...looks like Rhys actually just used a front bumper from HRT (holden racing team) and put the GTO nose O_o though these are pics of the Comodore...which is pretty much a 4 door monaro...heres a pic...
Damn this car is beautiful *drool* I think Rhys just needs to paint it a different color and put some nice graphics..I dont know who designed that cars setup O_o
