American Horsepower meets Aussie steel. I've got my hands on the current Holden Monaro CV8Z (Aussie version of the Pontiac GTO) right now. Still only LS1 powered, but iit's such a joy to drive. We're doing some magazine stories on it, but more importantly we've been filming it for an upcoming DVD.

We also shot it today with an original model 1968 Holden GTS Monaro. Very cool to see the current model still carries the same Monaro badge as the '68.

Yeah, but I guess you have to be talented like me to be able to win motorsport events in both LHD and RHD cars

I'd have a hell of a time trying to shift with my left arm.

I like it. But then again I own the US version.

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

Sweet converters you have there Jody.

Hey, what is/where did you get that heat shield material above the turbos? Also, are those pipes polished stainless ? Thanks Jody.
