Now that's nice. A TT HFV6 in a great looking car that isn't tank sized. Where do I sign up :cheers:

Up until recently, I really disliked the local offerings. Pushrods and SOHC with no proper VVT were the best you could get. Pathetic for this day and age really. Now they actually make something worth buying. It looks like the Aussie car industry is finally getting its act together.

looks are deciving...

If they did produce it, i'm sure they would cut out all that fancy shmancy shite like tv screen. Either way, it's an interesting CONCEPT (which is what it is meant to be).

Like someone else said... The Monaro was never going to be produced... :rollseyes:

How about Holden be true to the origional design concept of the late 60's and early seventies....

Give me the LC GTR any days.....MMMmmm GTR :)

(True torana fans will know there is a gtr, not just the japanese Hi-po version of skyline :P)

it'd be pretty quick but its not a torana, does anyone know what they do with the concept cars after the shows are over?

and PHAT32 i love the typhoon ass well but i just can't get over how stupid that name is. it would be debadged quicker than a gtr in bankstown if i got one

I prefer the old L34's.. SLR5000's... Gotta luv that hard edge raw V8 feel. :D

Still remember when my old man restored one when I was young..

Drove down the street with no doors/interior/seats & dash sitting in the back watching dad sit on his milk crate as he hooned around the block.

Went pretty damn hard for a mild 5ltr with a 500 holley sitting on top.

The idle was awesome.

Even had the old' gold hot wires if any 1 remembers them :)

Canary yellow with the black bonnet etc.. Was a damn nice car when he finished with it.

Then what did mum say "Its not an old mans car its a young mans car, Sell it!"

    • I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp
    • Forgot to mention that these are the before pics when I first got it!
    • Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆
    • Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
