trying to stir things up. I'm sick of it all.

That looks hilarious to see an LS1 mounted transversely. Who would've thought it would fit? Can you imagine the torque steer from this monster!? Punch it and the steering wheel rips through your hands to the right. What a beast.

Had the luck to see one sweet Monaro \GTO at the Summer Nats In Australia today.
Twin Turbo 640RWHP and it was so good it was almost like from the factory the install was that good. Give it a couple of days there will be some pictures and more info appear.

That'd be frickin AWESOME.

That's basically what I was going to say......Now that GM has brought the Monaro over, maybe they'll pull their heads out of their collective a**, and bring the Commodore over to (as a full production car, not this limited run crap), so they have a RWD sedan (that costs less that the $50,000 for a Cadillac CTS) again for a change. But, that's probably wishful thinking.

Unfortunately the FWD Impala is a better "cop car" (no offence to LEO implied by following, but..) now that the days of pursuits are over and they now are more like citywide "babysitters", these cars are perfect; Light, small, performance about equal to Police Interceptor, (actually a bit more maneuverable 'in town") and cheaper.
Most "cops' I know still miss the LT1 Caprice, but in today's world, they accept and cherish the "wrong wheel drive" Impalas.
Fetumpsh, I get the idea that are not from the wasteland of the free and the homeland of insecurity... Lucky you!

Guys, it's only a matter of time before Dodge dominates the squad car arena again. They practically owned it during the 60's-70's. With the hemi-engine and the fact that alot of their product line is once again quality,plus rear wheel drive. It will be just a matter of time. They have some killer looking sedans coming out that I would not want to see in my rearview mirror at highspeeds. The GTO would make a good detectives car or undercover ride.
