Bob,
Actually, that is a much later model than mine, and has more power (about
300hp) and a 6 speed, but it is bigger and also weighs 800 pounds more, so
maybe not much quicker. It's also the 4 door version of the Monaro, the car
to be sold next year in the US as the 'reborn' Pontiac GTO - see also

My car is still a fun ride - due to minor changes to cam and cold air
induction I have maybe 270 hp at the flywheel in a rear drive car the size of
a Camry.
Cheers
Vic
