Hey, I might be in Australia for work coming in October for about 4 months or so. How do I rent an LS1 car? I saw that most rental places only have Holdens with 3.8L? I don't know where I will be at yet, but it's probably somewhere in the South (we have an office in Melbourne, but I will be at customer's office).

Nice car. Even though that car is an auto, looking at that 4th picture made me think how hard it would be for us to drive a standard with the stick on the left.

Is that a footrest on the left?

Very nicely finished car. Driving with the stick on the left isn't too bad. It's kinda weird at first but you get used to it.

That thing is hideous. The interior isn't bad though...

The Monaro/GTO looks much nicer.

My thoughts exactly. I bet it hauls ***, though.

It would look about 1000% better with different wheels.
