    Made in Australia.

    I was in Australia few weeks ago and look what these guys drive down there, they also do racing with this cars in a Furmula 1 track, these cars can runn all the way up to 700HP to 800HP

    The street car I think that they come with 400HP or maybe more I think, they looks like the Pontiac G8 here in US but the front end is way different. I also saw few 300SRT8 and also regular 300 C, all the regular 300 C that I saw were with the RT wheels.

    Thse cars are very sxpesive out there, about $50,000 to $70,000 that is about the same here in US, right now 93 US cents is $1 Australian dollar I think. The same with the SRT8 and the regular 300 C runn about $50,000 Australian dollars.

    Nice pics

    Yeah Holdens... the rear is way different as well - It looks a little bit "off" to me. The G8s rear look better I think

    I think Holdens look better than the G8 and the Camaro. The holden looked better when they copied it for the GTO. I wish GM would just bring the damn thing over as is, since they scrapped pontiac.

    Most of the decent GM cars have come from Holden. They should just close shop in Detroit and import all their cars from Australia!!

    yeah, the holden's they drive down under are awesome. too bad pontiac had to butcher them when they brought them over. maybe they would've caught on better over here then.

    I was waiting on the decision to bring over the G8 as a wagon. I was actually looking to buy one of those instead of my SRT Maggie at first. The engine platform alone already had a huge aftermarket and a computer that could be easily tuned for BOOST. I love my Hemi but i still want a boosted LS engine someday. Thanks for the great pictures!
