yeah Coupe 4 is the AWD GTO. Clubsport's pretty much just have the basic features and the same LS2 you guys get in the GTO. The new range is pretty impressive. How does 0-60 in under 5 sound. 275 rear tyres have a bit to do with that. The GTS in the hero car and the Senator which is what I have is the luxury model but with all the performance bits of a clubsport standard. And the premium parts from a GTS optional like mine has.
The new HSV's run an MRC suspension in GTS and Senator like the Cadillac version but biased more towards a track setup.

you can get a nice 2004 gto (low miles) for under $20K
and the full body kit (bumpers, spoiler, side skirts) for about 2-3 grand I think (from JHP)

im not sure its legal to import one because of the gas tank location...easier and cheaper to just do a conversion with a body kit.

My dad has a couple of brothers back home in the car industry, and a few years ago he tried importing a clubsport, basically its impossible...im pretty sure they have LHD commodors in the middle east, but he hit some brick walls and gave up. Got a jag instead.

Monaro = Pontiac GTO but in LHD
Yes middle east sells the 4 doors in LHD, plus I understand you may be able to get them in Brazil as well look here http://www.chevrolet.com.br/omega/index.shtm V6 model mind you.

It's not the Monaro but it looks like the current VE Commodore is not far off the US market link (http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=2832510) , looks like that one is fitted with the HSV wheels . The L98 equiped ones here seem to be good for a 13.8 second 1/4 mile out of the box .
