    spike :- yes i have alloys 21" / and its a VX commodore the vectra is a mock of it / and it does have a little customisein with usa parts special thanks to gm to ship the parts out


    scoob8000:- i shall laugh at u very hard it has a 5.7l generation 3 V8 / the gm grand is built here and we ship it out we also ship other model holdens as well, but seen as holden is a gm company owned by aus its all the same parts

    wow... i really want your car then.. so pretty much its the same LS1 as in the camaros.. i cant wait to see the new pontiac GTO, rumuord to have the same engine, in a all wheel drive config.. looks sweet..

    ive seen a lot about the gm/holden thing.. just wish we had some of them here.. make a lot of nice cars..

    holden are trying to make a deal with gm at the moment to sell our holdens as a chev over in us but they think we dont have enough factorys and stuff to keep up with demand

    and if u think that is a nice car u should see the new manro boasting the highest 350rwhp stock in oz and it only has a generation 2 5.0l V8

    GM owns holden, they were going to bring the commodore ss into northamerica, but now are going to bring the monaro CV8 or gts300 i beleave) in as a Pontiac GTO to fill the gap left by the departure of the firebird...the car is going to get a styling warmover by pontiac, though the tuning will likeily stay the same as its allready tuned by callaway....

    cool hand ill like to correct 1 of your statements

    holden is australian owned and made and has been for 100 years only for the last 40 odd years has gm and holden had any thing to do with each other

    gm own parts of holden but not all they have shares so to speak

    we build parts for gm they build parts for us its like a hand in hand job


    the manaro wont be shipped out anywhere seen it is a speacial edition car it was rebuilt to celebrate the origanal manro, so i think u.s will be gettin the ss commodore

    i have found out from my friend today that gm and holden now have a partnership so ull be seeing more aussie cars in america soon



    oh and just so u no i havent riced mt holden out it has body kit

    pro lowered springs and shocks / 21" rims / modded motor took out the origanal air filter and put a pod filter in / and a few other things but ill post again when i finish it

    i knew gm / holden had something goin on, just wasnt totally sure..

    odd over here the LS6 (red valve covers) is the 4th gen 350, LS1 being the 3rd, LT1 being second and the 4bbl version (LG4??) i think it was.. forget.. its 3am, i need sleep.. lol

    When I went to Oz last year there's a real grudge between Ford and Holden.

    I LOVE FORDS :lol:

    Not really but I bet you do?
