Correct me if I'm wrong, but the location of the GTO badge on the Pontiac GTO is a signal light on the Holden Monaro.

It's an HSV GTO. Holden Special Vehicles are like SVT in a sense. They took the Monaro and made a GTO and a GTS version of the cars. Essentially Monaro's on steroids. The moniker has nothing to do with the Pontiac that we get stateside though. That car actually has a LOT of street cred in Australia. And all the marked cars down there apparently have crazy bright coloring.

Tell me about it
but at least we in the West over here don't get them in V8's they are all 6's it's called money saving so anyone can get away from them until the chopper catches up with you and then

we have unmarked, marked and hiway patrol cars here in australia, yellow cop cars are the hiway patrol cars, mainly used on the hiway with hi speed chase's

it seems Australia would rather be proactive and stand out so dumbasses dont try dumbass things, where the USA on ther other hand, would rather be reactive hide and wait for you to do dumb **** and just give you a ticket, i need to move...
