sorry let me rephrase that

...is a vauxhall a chevy?


technically no imo. they are a subsidiary of GM but they are a company like holden or opel that still functions as their own company for the most part but has access to the massive GM parts bin from all the GM subsidiaries. they all share platforms and engines.

pontiac on the other hand imo is practically GM, they have been attached at the hip so long they are pretty much one in the same to me.

i wouldnt say that. GM has many many platforms. holden just was the company that spent an assload of money developing the next gen RWD sedan like/SUV platform.

GM uses or has used chassis/platforms from opel, suzuki, and others aswell. btw opel is pretty much vauxhaul, its like GM to pontiac. they have pretyy much all the same models of cars with diff body work in some cases just under a diff name probly both in a diff regions of europe. GM also recently started selling several opel models as saturns in the US.

its actually a holden commodore chassis built on the GM zeta platform which was designed by holden of australia, and is assembled in austrailia. Akuuz'a car may have been assembled in australia aswell being another holden chassis.

have they put a read LSD on the GT500 yet? if they havent it is still shit.


They haven't, but its still beating out all the others.

The 2011 Mustangs are gonna have LSD though, so only another few months.

Yes my car was built in australia actually, they just ship them over here and put a different front end on them and some different badging

but the G8 is just a 4door camaro basically

the G8 GXP has an LS3 in it, mostly the same suspension set up ext

and the 2005/2006 GTO's can keep up with the new camaros, mine however cant :(

But i just need some heads and a cam and ill womp on them :) , but ofc that wont be comming for quite sometime
