Ford anyday!

You can buy a 300rwkw BA xr6t for under $20k.

Cant buy a decent looking holden that will run low 12's for less than $20k

My general rule is Fords for 6's and Holdens for 8's, i love the Holden v8s.

SS are v8's tho, i mean 6cyl :) SS Commo with a blower still wouldnt run low 12's down the 1/4 anyway and i doubt they would get 300 @ the wheels!

on the xr6turbo forums there was a heavily modded xr6t that ran mid-11's with over 300 at the wheels going for $18k, un freeeeknbelieveable!

I did nanotech cuz i liked it, then finished it and then i was like wtf am i gonna do now, wanted to do honours + PhD, but no $$$.. then i got a teaching scholarship, so i decided to teach :)

Holdens are a fucking joke.

A so called 'aussie' company owned by Americans for almost 80 years, with many of their main models copied from Chevrolets and pontiacs, yeah real fucking 'aussie'.......

What a great marketing gimmick my GM to suck in gullible and ignorant aussies into buying their cars......

The holden monaro is a copy of the ponitac Gto and holden commodores are copied from ponitac G8s, with the rear practically identical. caprices are also copies of chevrolet impalas....

Really? So..... General motors, the biggest Auto company in the world are so stupid they have to copy all the their designs from a fucking tiny AUSTRALIAN COMPANY from a country which has population of only 20 million. Not likely......

"The GTO was the brainchild of Pontiac engineer Russell Gee, an engine specialist, Bill Collins, a chassis engineer, and Pontiac chief engineer John De Lorean. In early 1963, "

"The 21st century GTO is essentially a left hand drive Holden Monaro, itself a coupe variant of the Holden Commodore."

holden is a subsidiary of GM you stupid fuck
No shit sherlock.....

Exactly. a subsiduary of an American company, owned by Americans. If GM wanted to get rid of holden or rename it to something else? Bad luck aussies, its not your company, its in the hands of Americans now......
