Yep, it says GTO down on the ground effect. The Holden Monaro had a model called the GTO (similar to the Pontiac Firebird and its Trans Am model)

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.

They tend to do that so they stand out , your not going to misbehave if you see a cop car and if you missed one of those things you shouldn’t be behind the wheel of a car because you’re blind . They do have unmarked cars as well and the regular white cop cars .

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 you are busted

I was thinking the same thing, crazy aussies. For some reason that car looks a hell of a lot better than our GTO. The spoiler and wheels are sweet. If that was the judge pontiac may have sold more cars.
