Are any V8 super car teams planning on using them or are they heavier than the Sedan?

I think it would be good to see an HRT monaro winning bathurst just for the name :frog:

It's currently against the rules to run a 2 door. As F@rd doesn't have an equivilent (for now) it is unfair. There are some advantages, such as a more rigid chassis and flatter rear boot which would help down force and also the roof line which is more inclined and would be more 'slippery'.

Looks good. Does the GTO have 400bhp/300kw?

The GTS has the 300kW engine and the GTO has the 255kw version.

Can't wait for Corsa's version

Yes the GTO looks alright. The normal Monaros at the auto show looked too plain though. Pity about the price huh?

UK HSV Holden importers?

Does anyone know of a company that imports HSV Holdens to the UK?
Would love to hear from anyone who knows on arts@tntmag.co.uk

Cheers
