I'll be in the market for another car next summer. Looking at the Lotus coming to the U.S. I've always been a Pontiac man, so this could be nice. I'd really want to buy a soft top car if I could. That yellow would look realy nice next to my Spa.

Yup. They're bringing it over from the Continent down Under. They run a 2 make race with the Holden's (pontiac) and the Ford Falcon's. 2 words: Sexy beast
Not quiete as it is just "Silhuette racing" ... so no 'real' Fords or Holden's in there. That means that they have a body that looks similar to the Holden and Ford but underneath it's all specialist hardware (that both cars share) ... and a lot of it is from US. The engines are 5.0L from the States (one of your race series) ... they might even be using the same engines in the 'Holden' and the 'Ford'. There's not a single part that these share with the 'Holden' or 'Ford' that you can buy ... well maybe the headlights.
Anyway, the Pontiac GTO is a rebadged Holden Monaro that we have here. Nice cars.
