The CR8 has full bolt-ons and heads/cams setup!

I had to let off due to traffic in my lane!

Looks like GTO to me...

H/C/I full exhaust GTO should take an M5.

Yes, equivalent to Pontiac G8. This one pumps out 600hp at the crank.

600hp sounds right on the money for H/C/I and full bolt ons.

Guys this is a pontiac G8 Equivalent or in Australia a Holden. The Motor is a hybrid of the LS series which found in corvettes and Cadillac V cars among other things.

I would love to pick one of these up as a project car and twin turbocharge it
