6.0L LS2... Very sweet engine :P

Nah, not that... With cops, they have a limit on how much they can do with the car before even they can't drive it as a pursuit car. And as it stands the WRX, oddly enough, allows for them to do more with them. Cops arn't allowed to lighten the car in any way, can only do underhood stuff and add in a screen between the front and rear seats for when they have a criminal in the back :P

If the GTO in the 'states has an engine, we have it too, goes there via export... And as I remember from the launch of the GTO with the LS1 in a few years ago, the speaker asked a few people in the audience to comment on the car, and one person said "It's a great testiment to well built american cars" to which the speaker replied "It's actually an Australian built car"... Needless to say, a lot of people were surprised :P

Holden import Opels into Australia for sale under the Holden Badge, we also export the Monaro GTO to America as the Pontiac GTO (The new VZ Monaro has fully functional bonnet scoops... Woopde do :/... It has nostrils!)

The image of that car before is the same car that we call the Barina, little 1.4L DOHC 4 cylinder job. Over here it seems good practice to rice it up, with body kits, lowering blah blah blah... I've even seen one with a turbo!

One European car I wouldn't mind getting is the new BMW M5... Mmm :D They're nice, but apart from that, most of the cars I want are Australian made (Holdens), although the police here are now using WRX STi MY05's, EVO VIII's and Astra Turbo's (Not sure of the Opel name for them) as undercover cars... Simply because their normal cars can't keep up with the rice burners here (For a side note, the EVO's can't keep up with ANYTHING :P)

Holden and ford are both shit.


--- Quote ---Did you guys get a watered down EVO in kangaroo land? 'cause our EVO's in the states haul like stink... And in britain they have a 405 bhp light weight edition...I believe it's called the EVO VIII MR (S-tune?) i dunno, but i saw it on top gear and it hauled ass.  

BTW that Holden VZ monero, would that have the 6.0L LS2 or the old 5.7L LS1 under the hood? 'cause all of the new GTO's in the states have 6.0L LS2's.

JC:
Do you know why the car is "Watered down?"

It's our octate content in our fuel :) It's almost done on purpose... So if you want the extra bits of power, you need higher octate in your fuel, notice how we can't get it over 100ron points even with a bottle of octate boost?

A ricer fanboy... Please leave the country, you know where the airport is, or does Sam have to show you the way? :P

CooBlueDAB:
why would the car be manufactured and distributed in a condition where octaine level of a country would be detrimental for an engine...
Octaine is basically like this right... higher the number, the higher compression is needed to ignite it.  Match the fuel with compression ratio, and you will have a reliable machine that fires at the correct time and not early and not missing...


So unless I can be proven wrong.....  By your statement... that lower octaine is the reason.. (which would mean the car is in a state in which it is not firing correctly from manufacturer for the country and that would mean danger to the engines in a big way) ....Then the only way to get the extra HP is to bump up compression with a thinner head gasket or different pistons etc....  then use the same octaine level as is required by the jap model.  

Simply using higher octaine will not help an engine unless it is misfiring early.  The same goes for lowering octaine if it cannot ignite it early enough.
