It's at the site. Go to www.gm.com and there will be a scroll bar at the top left. Scroll all the way down to Holden. ;) HSV cars are some of the hottest cars IMO. Holden is the GM division in Austrilia. There top models have Corvette LS1s and they preform very well. :alien:

The HSV and the the UTE'S are the real Holdens the small ones are Opel based and the 4*4 are Isuzu based. You sould see the ad they play on TV here for the 5.7 6 speed SS ute, love it.

He is right the really sweet cars are the HSVs. And include the Utes too. ;) And although I hate Fords you mightaswell add Tickford too....or not. :D

Igor, as you well know, there are zillions of makes and models to choose from, so I'm not suggesting you add Holden to the menu.
However if you eventually do, may I profer a brief list of workable sub-sets? As Holden products are best known by their individual model letters, not years, these cover the indigenous designs of interest and would I think may (you never know!) make sense to enthusiasts:
FX-HR Classics
This encompasses Holdens consecutive evolving 'full-size' models from the onset in 1948 thru '67. The uniting feature is them all being 6cyls.
(FYI The model sequence goes: FX, FJ, FE, FC, FB, EK, EJ, EH, HD,HR).
HK-WB V8s
First to last of the locally-based V8 platforms including coupes (Monaro), LWB versions etc. 1968 thru '84.
(HK, HT, HG, HQ, HJ, HX, HZ, WB).
Torana
Local sub-compact, 4, 6 & 8cyl until '80.
(HB, LC, LJ, LH, LX, UC).
Commodore
Initially Opel-based, now unique. 1978-current
(VB, VC, VH, VK, VL, VN, VP, VR, VS, VT & current VX)
btw HSV is Holdens 'tuner' arm, half-owned by the Scot, Tom Walkinshaw Racing aka TWR.
Any views, ammendments anyone?

What about the SLR5000....or is it just renamed from a Torana LC ??

I thought the SL/R 5000s would be adequately encompassed in the Torana classification, don't you? After all, the main Toranas of note and interest would, I expect, be LC & LJ GTR XU-1s, LH & LX SL/R V8 derivatives and those little beasties, the mighty LH L34 & LX A9X homologation race 'specials'.
I wouldn't expect much call for the sonorous Sunbird, pathetic Plus-4 or glipid G-Pak!
btw: For a few years I once owned a neat 'lina mint' (lime green) LC XU-1, only a 6cyl triple-carb, but an effective club car, they used to eat Capri V6s.
Thanx for your response, I welcome any suggestions.
