Very nicccccccccccccccccccccccce!
The scalloped nose on the front splitter look great, USA style.
I've noticed a couple of cars fitted with the splitter well forward of the front bumper which certainly aids downforce and handling. Has the rule in this regard changed. Hope so as I never understood the rational for the old rule!

Have to agree, looks good and very much like the late models in the U.S.
However, is it a Monaro, or a Camaro??? It cleary has Monaro doors, roof and rear end, but has a Camaro nose and splitter (look closey past the headlight decals) and if so is this within the rules regarding OEM appearance, though some of the Super Saloons seem to be moving towards the late model appearance anyway.

They look very similar to the camaro and monaro but are indeed Pontiac GTO as in this picture sort of outlines the front ?? www.skinz.org/cars/pontiac-gto/pontiac-gto-wallpapers-4.jpgand this indicates the rear of a 2005 model gto www.autospectator.com/cars/files/images/rear_7.jpg |

And who said that Willie Doesnt Promote Slow down Aaron, keep your feet on the ground ... We have ONE car parked up on the Strand in Tauranga in front of the 'night club' scene. This hardly ranks as the ultimate promotion! Furthermore, the fact that the car exists, is to have a visiting USA driver, is likely 'in spite of Willie Kay', rather than a Willie Kay initiative. Read the article, Willie doesn't get a mention. 18 Super saloons expected |
