Hey there from Oz

Thought I'd join up and see how you guys in the states do things.

I've got an '02 LS1 Holden Calais but I'm not sure of the US equivalent.

Mods so far,
Mafless tune, 4 inch maf pipe, Crow cam 223/223 114LSA .581/.581 lift, PAC 918 springs, 1 5/8 Tri-Y pacemaker headers, twin 200 cpsi cats, twin 3 inch catback exhaust. Suspension is shortened King springs and shortened Monroe shocks. Anything that was rubber has been replaced with Nolathane. She'll be back in the shop mid January to fit a FAST 92mm manifold, Nick Williams 92mm TB and Orssom cold air intake.

Future mods are 3.73 diff gears, 3500 rpm stally and stage 2 shift kit for my abused 4L60E.

Pics you say? Sure.

The tint isn't photoshopped either. it really is that dark so we nicknamed it Skywalker Tint cuz at night, you really do need The Force to drive.

The cold air intake looks like this... All nice and OEM looking.

Welcome to the site. That looks like a GTO with four doors. The rear end almost looks like the Cadillac Catera.

Nice looking car!!!

thanks MICopper11. Very similar to the '02 Monaro/GTO in the front. As for the rear, I can see where Holden copied some Caddy bits and some Opel bits to get the look of it. Import her as a 430HP 4 door GTO.. I'd buy it!
