I first saw this a couple of weeks ago.
I do not like the wheels at all! :confused:
The rest might grow on me if I was to see it 'in the flesh', so to speak.
They could downsize the bonnet scoop a tad. But the paint scheme looks great.

I have to agree, it looks like crap!! Old school needs to stay in the past with the cars that brought the idea into the world. Tell me Holden isn't trying to cash in on old ideas to make a quick buck!!

I agree with nugget, Holden should stick with the new stuff and leave the old behind. The new torana at the motor show and now this. Whats next?

Looks shit in my opinion. The whole car just doesn't look right at all !

Technically though it's not Holden, it's Peter Champion's HDT making these.

Whether its Holden or HDT, HRT or WGR there's always someone who just pushes ideas too far!!
Bloody WGR!! What clown thought Wayne Gardiner would we worth spending money on??!! Oxygen thief in my opinion!!

C'mon, we all know Captain Chaos was a boost for the spare parts division!! Agree with you though, he is a tool.Always thinking he could fit his Commodore through a space his Honda might fit in. I read Mick Doohan's biography and apparently Gardiner treated Doohan like crap when they were on the same team.

I've read both of their biographies as well as Barry Sheene's.
Gardner is all about himself, Kath and Kim style "looka me ... looka me'!!
Mick and Barry were both out for a good time and it showed in their books. Hence Mick's nickname around the paddock of 'the Horizontal Champion'!! I laughed and laughed at both Mick and Barry's stories.

Barry's story was a crack up!! Cheeky bugger he was. I still miss him from the V8 commentary!

Oh me too! And also from RPM on a sunday afternoon.
My favourite story of Barry's was when he blew up the male shower/toilet block at one European race meeting because it was not good enough and needed to be demolished.
So he took it upon himself to help matters along .... :lmao:

Does anyone think this car looks like a VE version of a VL Walkinshaw? Looks suspiciously like a copy to me.

Possible that the intention of involving the Walkinshaw aspect was there.
It could probably use a few more plastic panels on the doors though!!
Looks bad enough why not make it worse!!:lmao:
This keeps those who own HSV, HRT vehicles interested in their products. Its almost like they're saying "Look at what you don't have!!" :dancenana:
