Seen this today on 285 looked like a evo at frist but then had svt or something of that nature on it took pic with phone on the move. any one seen know about this. the name on the car was maloo had duals and looked like a baja rear end nice big brake set up. couldnt get a good side shot.
that is one of those Australian ute's. they make some of them off of the holden platform that the GTO was based off of. pretty cool things...was it RHD?
What he said. I'd put money down that that car either has an LS1 or a badass turbo I-6 under the hood. http://www.pistonheads.com/doc.asp?c=47&i=3514 Yup, LS1 powered.
Yeah, GM is thinking about bringing back the El Camino based on the Holden Car! Its like a mullet on wheels. Business up front and party in the back!
yea, in oz it's the Holden Monaro or Commodor platforms. The GTO is based off the Monaro. They use the car versions as interceptor cars in the bush. My moms ex had on at his station. It had something like a 427 in it. A quote from Wiki "The HRT 427 had two seats, a semi–roll cage, race suspension, racing brakes and ram air induction as well as other things. This supercar was quicker than a Ferarri 360 Modena and Lamborghini Gallardo. It had 420 kW and could sprint to 100 km/h (62 mph) in under 4 seconds." :eek3: :bowdown: :drool: Im sure the police version wasnt that smokin, but no doubt still a monster.
no idea how he would have gotten it here or why it was lhd. http://www.pistonheads.com/doc.asp?c=47&i=3514 doesn't fall under the 15 year import rule so it must have taken some cash in the right places to get it here.
^^^^^ It may be a test car or spy car. Back before the new Mustangs were released I saw several of them rolling arround atlanta together with detroit tags. Atlanta is a good market for product testing before release.
unlikely, it would have a Michigan tag. Also that car is on the older platform. If he saw a test car it probably would have looked like a modified G8, which is how the Camaro tests.
yeah dont think it was a test car. look very personal to me anyway just never seen on one the road and I've been from michigan to cali and back to atl.
