Those are some funky looking catalytic converters you have there, Jody.

I wish they'd bring the whole Holden lineup to the U.S. I'd have a tough time choosing which one I'd buy, probably go with the ute (LS1/6-speed of course )

It's weird, I had a few people say they didn't like the ute when I was in the US. It's actually a pretty good thing. Drives and handles like a sedan or coupe, but still is big enough in the tray to carry 2 road bikes. There's also the dual cab CREWMAN now

Oh... but you can also get the HSV Maloo ute Derek That's LS2 and comes with lots more goodies... Much like the HSV GTO Coupe







The Ford ute's are pretty good too. V8, inline 6 or inline 6 turbo

SWEET! If they make a wagon, that'd be my first choice (I know I saw something on a limited production wagon, but not sure if it was actually ever built), but the ute is definitely my 2nd choice after a wagon.

The Maloo is cool They should bring it here and call it an "El Camino"

[QUOTE=Boxer]They sure do

This is the car I have as a daily driver, here in Europe they were sold (ended 2003) as Opel Omega.

Mine has a 2.2 Ecotec but they could be had with 3.2L V6's

Would be nice to put a LS1 in one of them, would be pretty much bolt in with some Aussie parts.

If they sold them here, there would be one in my driveway. Maybe one for the wife too

Looks good camcojb!


Looking forward to when I get back to the US. We're gonna be fitting the T51R version of this kit to a GTO. I've also lined up some awesome LS1/2 clutch and flywheel packages if you're interested.
