My project:

Nice. I'll put up pics of my '82 Collectors when the transmission is back in it

Technically it is Herculiner that I sprayed on with an undercoating gun, but YUP!

haha, hey, it works just as good for a fraction of the price!




and seeing as Holden is owned by GM, it doesnt matter what it was called first. the GTO means as much to us as the Monaro means to you australians. and IMO, either way you look at it, the new Monaro/GTO doesnt do the muscle car name any justice. i mean, hey, the G8 is the same as your Commodore.

yeah i will agree, the new monaros do not compare to the old ones. old muscle is definitely a thousand times better then new muscle.

I am a fan of them, just wish i had the money to buy one.

hence why i settled for the V6 version of what you call G8. i happy with that car, but in no way is it an awesome car

88 suzuki samuria tin top ( rare) in eastern ct it never happens LOL 31 10.5 tires ats will be 6 in taller i dropped 1000 in suspension but never put it in yet LOL

[TeaQue]

please Mr O.P if you are going to own and drive a Monaro please at least call it what it is

Those Cars ARE NOT PONTIACs, Just becuase its badged that way dont make it so....

They are Australian Holden Monaro's.

The Monaro is an icon in australian muscle cars, please show the respect they deserve.
but considerig you own it i would assume you know that.

for those that dont here is some history

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holden_Monaro

not having a go, just proud of aussie built awesomeness

Oh believe me, I know ALL about the Monaro

I've owned this car for 2yrs now and have wanted one since they were introduced in the US in 2004. We're thinking about picking up a G8 (Commodore) for my wife

It may not do it any justice as far as looks go but it definately does in performance.

Hell I'm dynoing 328/341 at the rear wheels with only an intake/electric dumps/and a tune!

Thats pretty darn good if you ask me. If I'd invest in some drag radials I'd get my 1/4 down. As of right now my PB is 13.6 @ 108mph. That mph alone is good enough for a high 12 sec pass if not a low low 13.

All that and its more comfortable than my wifes honda accord. The back seats are almost the same dimension as the front buckets! Ever sat in the back of a Mustang/Vette/F-body? I'm 6'1, 230lbs and I can sit back there nice and comfy (not that I ever do haha)

I am ridiculously jealous of that lift (not to mention the cars!)

That's not even remotely true. You can get parts through any GM dealership as well as different Aussie vendors
