Discontinued model, I doubt there is any factory support. Probably has a better chance selling them to an Aussie for their V8 Supercar series.

I thought Pontiac was pulling its sponsorship of Grand Am, and the GTO was discontinued. Thus no GTO.r's in grand am

I wish they would have kept the GTO around until the new Camaro rolls out... I wonder if we'll get a new-new GTO rather than a Firebird this time around.

Holden showed an all new Commodore recently that has an all-new Zeta chassis. The Monaro's trunk had to be redesigned for the fuel tank for U.S. specs and it doesn't comply with 07 regs.

Holden of Australia has developed the new Zeta chassis for global use, but Chevrolet will develop their vehicles on that chassis (2009 Camaro and perhaps a new rwd Impala).

The $475,000 TRG wants for the two cars and spares is alittle steep for me.
