I like this one, quote from Nineball :

....want the hassles of loping cams, surging low rpm drivability, or loud exhausts and rattles. The car is flat out nice to drive, now it is even quick too.

That says it all, thats also what I like in having a car

I know Joe. I'm the one who shot photos of his yellow GTO for the LS1TECH calendar, and also for his GM High Tech magazine feature.

Yes. Remember that the GTO is based on the Monaro, so Pontiac just slapped badges into holes that already existed.

Sorry I should have asked the qeustion better


So you need a Hold front bumper, and fog lights corret?

And as far as the emblems? Do they fit the ponitc location

Or did you have to use filler and shave off old holes to cover up were the new emblems go..

Holden bumper and grille, Holden foglights, Holden side turn-signals on the fenders. The Pontiac and GTO emblems were replaced by Holden emblems that fit in the exact same holes. No filler or shaving required.

I don't know what Tony does for a living. But I need to change careers. I love his cars. Nice Monaro.
