Yeah, from what I've heard Top Gear wasn't exaggerating much when they said that race events there are fist fights with some racing in between rounds.

Pontiac *almost* brought the Utes / El Caminos here as a G8-series car.  They even had a naming contest on their website.  I think my submission was "G-tarded."  I'm with Treeman.  I just don't get it.   :idk:

1) No, El Caminos went away a LONG time ago. But Aussie Utes are today's version.
2) Aussie V8 Sedan racing is their NASCAR. They just use road courses. It's almost ice hockey with 700hp 3200 pound sticks.
3) The G8 platform is still alive in the Chevy line up. GM has police car orders starting to flood in for that platform as the Charger has so many problems.
4) El Caminos are almost useless, but I would love to have one. If Chevy does bring that thing here, my wife could be VERY unhappy.

When I was in Australia I loved seeing those things. I want one so bad. Really upset that the G8 Sport Pickup was never released. It looked pretty nice

Definitely SWEET, Sly Bob. I have always had a soft spot in my heart for Camaro's.  Some day if the budget allows I will purchase one as a stablemate for Miss Red Eagle!  Can you imagine those two side by side in the same garage!  How sweet would that be!!!!

I agree. I've been a big fan ever since I owned a '68 Camaro. :D
