I will be purchasing one when I move back to Australia in 5 years time. Oh did I mention it has a V8 engine and petrol down under is cheap (well about half the price it is here)?

At the moment you can buy a brand new Ute SS from Holden for the equivalent of £16k - how many V8 powered vehicles can you buy brand new for that price in this country? Hmmm... none!

hmmm 5.7 litre LS1 GenIII V8 as used in all V8 holdens and the Cheverolet Corvette capable of being tuned to over 1000bhp

Love the new holdens but my dream car is one of these....



1976 LH Torana SLR 5000 5.0 V8 with full L34 factory kit on it that one belonged to my uncle (more pics of it in my garage)

I did enquire about purchasing a secondhand one here or buying a new one from Australia and getting it shipped over, but after all charges are paid etc. it's more expensive than just simply buying a brand new one out there!

Wish I had a chance of driving one out there, closest I got was a bog standard Commodore V6...

LS2's are much more impressive
