Greatest muscle car ever built. If anyone out there thinks that American Muscle is the greatest then you obviously have never heard of a HK or HT Monaro. Miles ahead of the rest anyone that disses the early models deserves to be shot. Holden is a great Australian car manufacturer and is the pinnacle of excellence. Anyone that drives around in a Ford has just wasted their money.
Dazza: Mate is that a 1969 HT Monaro GTS 350?
Macca: Sure is!
Wazza: That is the f*cking greatest car ever!
Seppo: That car makes my Dodge look like shit

People say the new GTO is crap, but it is true to its roots: a sports car based on an existing car(new - monaro, old - tempest)

A Holden Monaro. Yes folks, half of the people on this site diss it without even knowing the facts. Let me set it straight for you. Price is $59,350. Dimensions: 186.8 in x 71.8 in x 54.5 in. Engine: 346 ci V8, 332 hp@5600 rpm, 343 lb-ft@4000 rpm. ABS vented disc brakes. Most commonly called the CV8 III Engine. HOLDEN IS MADE IN AUSTRALIA, and is a Ford EQUIVALENT. Ford is actually pretty good in Australia, but HOLDEN IS THEIR COMPETITOR.
The Holden Monaro is pretty cool.
