He also said the wheels WILL make production (that actual size WILL be an option), the mirrors will NOT and the rake of the convertible's windshiled will have to be changed.

He said other than that, everything (down to the shifter) is slated for production

The wheels are an option for the Holden's. I'm sure they will make their way out here.

I kinda like the G8. If the interior is at or better than the GTO's then its definently going to be awesome.

Apparently the IRS causes axle tramp, so burnouts and drifting arnt optimised sadly.
