427 Monaro Just to make you North Americans a bit more jealous... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />
From the April edition of the Australian publication, Street Machine.
Holden has released artist's impressions of the specially prepared Monaros that will contest the popular Nations Cup Championship series...
I will try to get a photo or two scanned for you and posted in the next day or two.
Each track-monster Monaro will be powered by a massive 7.0 litre (427 ci) race version of the GenIII and will use a six-speed sequential racing gearbox, 18 inch race wheels and factory aerodynamic package that will undoubtedly be replicated for road models. The Monaro will be running up against race-spec Ferrari 360 Modenas, Lamborghini Diablo GTRs and V10 Chrysler Vipers in the category.

Re: 427 Monaro I'm not jealous. We've got the C5R. Now if they start selling that car in showrooms, that would be another story.

Australia doesn't get enough credit. What a cool country! I wish the lame-*** countries in the world would step up and be as cool as Australia. There'd be world peace - and a lot more freakin' cool cars too.

When I retire I'm going to buy a winter home overlooking Sydney harbor and drive my LS1 powered Holden even if I have to drive on the WRONG side of the road!
