Don't think he's going to have any insurance after that, once he get's out of jail.

Looks like he couldn't handle that big horse power american V-8

That Holden is a pretty tough car, after taking down that steel gate and hitting the BMW ( no loss ) and it's little airbone stunt, it's still in pretty good shape. Maybe I should of got the GTO instead of the Grand Prix.

The BMW is an E36, at least six or seven years old. They're in their "rape and sell at dumping prices" period now.

70,000 is crazy. Take off a zero and you'll be closer.

At least the driver will give the locals something to talk about.

i didn't know our Holden HSVs were made in America. can you tell me more?

The Holden is made down under, but the engine is the same one that's in the Corvette (LS2).

Holden is exporting the car to seperate markets under different brands, Pontiac GTO in the States, and as the Vauxhall Monaro in Europe.

It's not made in America but the Gen. III V-8 Engine they use is the 5.7 litre that Chevy builds for the Corvette. The 2005 GTO's are using the 6.0L/400HP LS2 V-8 so you may see this engine as an option on the Monaro soon.

The Pontiac GTO and the Holden Monaro are the same car with different badging, Holden and GM have been in bed for a while now and the Monaro/GTO is the result. Basiclly GM took a Monaro chassis and body stuck a 5.7L engine in it from the Corvette and called it a GTO
