Now that's one of the wierdest things I've ever seen. A GTO "cruck"? I wonder if it bears any relation to the Chevy SSR.

pontiac monaro..
Yeah I also would like a new version of the Elcamino SS. I love the abilty to have a bed and be fast as hell. I only wish I had bought that Syclone when I had the chance. Oh well

No, I was speculating on the possibility that the Monaro and the SSR could be built on the same platform. As we all know it's a very common practice. The Monaro isn't unibody, is it?

Do you guys have traction issues? Just curious with that much torque, especially that roots based charger. Nice rides BTW.

Jba?

Nice Goats! Who did the work on those machines? I'm assuming your getting the JBA Headers? Haven't seen to many around SD county, saw one in Kearny Mesa a couple months ago, Black if I remember. I'm sure there's some Traction Bars out there to help with the Wheel Hop, Lakewood?
I'll have to flag you down if I see you around, would like too check out that Goat.
