What's the point of this thread? The Monaro and the GTO is basically the same, bar a power increase and a relocated fuel tank....

Monaro, I just really like the Holden styling, and the HSV, also its more cool here to have an Aussie car than a US car!
People go "cool" when they see a US car, but go "wow" with the Aussie car, probably because they are even rarer!

Ditto, they're virtually identical...
And only because everyone else is saying Holden, I'll have to say GTO, plus I'm a big fat lazy American...
