Do your work for Holden or something? You always talk about them. I love The Judge look? Are they really going to call some of the The Judge for the new models?

I can bet all the F-body people will move on up to this new GTO. Seems a million times better than a F-body, this is almost like a Corvette worthy opponent.

the Holden version stock is 302hp, but its the same engine as the f-body its just strangled abit more by the PCM tune.

the GTO has a unique "high lift cam" , over the above mentioned.

here is the PCM sitting in the seat, on its way to beeing reprogrammed, the 32bit delphi computer is quite brilliant.

:huh:WOW! Now we're talking!

BTW, what about forced induction... namely a centrifugal supercharger or, for the truly mad, twin turbo! :naughty:
