Default Vauxhall Monaro VXR 500

Anyone ever seen this video.

http://www.dpccars.com/car-movies/11...ro-VXR-500.htm

Its the British version of the Aussie Monaro which as we all know is the same as our GTO. Now why the hell didn't Pontiac do that with the GTO. I guess GM wouldn't take too kindly to any of its subsidiaries blowing away its star Corvette.

So just put a blower and shifter on your GTO. Price will almost balance out anyway. Sweet video though and I love the lip spoiler they have on the trunk lid of that car. Its what I want to replace my stocker with.

Default Nice wheels!!!

I LOVE those wheels. I think I read somewhere that they are 19 inch rims. Anyone know if that would fit our Goats stateside??

Thanks

They fit the GTO's perfectly. Same car really. JHP is the guys you want to talk to about that one. Not cheep, and yes, they are 19's.

its not the same though... you add it, you can never call it stock and depending on the dealer, they might not cover if you add it... That car though is covered under warranty and is "stock"

He did not say either denomination. But it's a UK car, a UK TV show, a UK journalist....and guess what currency they use in the UK.

But then you could always use google and find out for sure.
