so while i live in QLD, this morning i flew down to melbourne spent the day at the motor show and then flew home at night. seeing as i took 113 pics while i was there i thought i would throw a few cars of interest up, and a few of the new falcon too even tho there has been plenty floating around..

that holden......omg :shock: . Its actually pretty tuff.

New Fg's are nice, been seeing them getting about my area doing random drives from campbellfield ford factory. Cant wait to see one slammed as they sit a bit to high for my liking. New GT....minus the decals and new front bar. Im waiting for series 2 on that. Didnt grab me as much as the Xr8 ute or even f6.

The Holden coupe looks fantastic I must say. And that Nissan GTR is sex on a stick, it looks super tough!

i think the coupe is tipped to be the monaro replacement.. but yes ur right the fastest production car will be the walkinshaw hsv, the 7 litre 427kw that starts at $125,000. still holden cant do it, they need walkinshaw to do it for them lazy and useless farks

Interesting bonnet. Looks like it's made to release engine noise instead of muffle it.
