Those Monaros are sweet! You should see how badass their interiors are, WAY nicer than our f-bodies. Take a look:

Re: Holden Monaro LS1 approved for US in '03? I was thinking of getting a vette next, but Im definitely getting the monaro if its available. That car is flat out sweet. Its flashy, but not gaudy, and look!!! YOU CAN REACH THE SPARK PLUGS!!
Im stoked, I cant wait til they get here. That car would be a killer autox (independant rear). Im not sure what the deal is on the rear end, or how hard it would be to beef it up, but id love to have a 450hp daily driver monaro. Man that thing is awesome. I wonder what it rides like.

Re: Holden Monaro LS1 approved for US in '03? So would a LS1 bolt right in. I've heard they have a LS1 but, then I've also heard Holden has there own V8. <img src="images/icons/confused.gif" border="0">
That'd be a nice car to slip a little 400+ inch LS1 into. <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

Re: Holden Monaro LS1 approved for US in '03? The Holden in question uses an LS1. Some of the older Holdens use Holden engines. I dont know if all current Holdens use GM engines or not.
Kinda like, old Pontiacs and Oldsmobiles used Pontiac and Olds motors which were different than Chevrolet motors, but new ones all use GM motors (except for the Aurora which still uses an Olds motor).

Re: Holden Monaro LS1 approved for US in '03? The NEW Holden's use the LS1 motor.
The older Holden's used a "Holden V8", kinda like the OLDER Camaro's had an LT1, now the new ones have LS1s.

Re: Holden Monaro LS1 approved for US in '03? Great looking car, looks like the Z28 may have to go. I just recently heard of & saw my first picture of a 70's Monaro last week. Those Aussie's are are alright. <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

Re: Holden Monaro LS1 approved for US in '03? They say it willl have GM's GEN111 V8...is this
another motor or in fact an LS1? Reading all the
data on the internet it looks like another motor.
Anyone know the performance spec's for the new
car. (I found data on the Super-charged V6: it was
about 0-62mph in 8.2 seconds)

Re: Holden Monaro LS1 approved for US in '03? One more point...this means GM will have two
very high priced performance cars...Z06 w/LS6 and
this new GTO w/LS1...Wow...I quess there was more
sales in two super Lux-performance sedans then
the F-body level...very surprising.

Re: Holden Monaro LS1 approved for US in '03? HAHAHAH, well, we can re-name the roo bars to "ricer bars", so when you have some fart piped honda in front of you, you will actually be able to bump their slow asses aside.
