Dude, find out what an RB30 costs. (it exists, but only in australia) And Holden is GM company. The Holden Monaro is the New GTO over in the states, they stole it from the Aussies. Australian cars kick so much ass. They’re all about the RWD, and the muscle car never really died there…and neither did the EL CAMINO. lol. Loook around, theyre called “ute’s” and they’re half car half trucks. Ford makes one with like 350Hp! ---

No it’s based on the Monaro. I like that you can get a Falcon with an inlne 6 turbo OR a V8. How cool is that!?! ---

Yeah, Vauxhall is a GM Europe division, like Holden is in Australia. The car is essentially the same, perhaps a few minor styling changes. And as for European fords, how about the Focus RS? Tell me that wouldn’t sell like fucking hotcakes here!? 🙂 ---
