Ok

I know its not a Pontiac but the platform is sold here as the G8 and GTO.
Car is a Holden Special Vehicle. Has a 6 speed T5 and Gen 3. Lot of fun to drive and the steering wheel is on the right side of the interior :ROTFLMAO:

Car is stock as a rock and has run as quick as 13.6@106. And does an OK burnout

Here is a few pics
Thanks for looking
Cheers
Jason

yea mate and we also drive on the other side of the road. now that takes some getting used to i will tell ya.
and we all have small radars in the front of the cars so any of the 9 foot tall roos are on the road the radar emits a signal and gets them the fuck outta the way. those bad boys do some damage to the cars

I definitely like the look of the Holdens more than the GTOs and the color is right on. You guys have the same problem with Roos as Northern Canadians have with Moose. Problem is Moose can get as tall as 9ft and if you hit one...well, let's say we hope you're a Believer in something. lol..

My GTO was Aussie made. The G8's are Canadian. Hope the build quality is the same. It's a wonderfull car.

The GTO is the best car I have ever owned. The interior is a lounge. The G8 interior looks like a comfy place to spend some time too.

Damn..couldn't you just leave it RHD? it would be so much cooler in the states with a RHD....

Same general platform as the old Caddy Catera? (you know, theone that "Zigs" - save for the anemic 3.0 V-6 that it came with...my father in law had a white one and the roofline and pillars look identical!)
But his was a '96 or '97 I think.
