When I was at Autorama last month they had one there and it looked nice. [ 09.

Member # 97 posted                       Bone stock, Brian Reese the SLP PP CE ran 13.14 @ 106.97. One of the GMHTP drivers ran 13.11 the same day in that car. Word is wheel hop is pretty bad. So bad there was no benefit using DRs. My buddy said he generated some on a 2-3 shift. He is a Pontiac dealership owner. He said the thing he was most impressed with was the fit and finish of the interior. By far the best on any Pontiac he has ever seen were his words. So good job to GM/Holden on that front. I like what SLP did with the hood. Nothing too flamboyant, and of course, the scoops will be functional. I can't wait to see it in person. [ 09.

(this going off what I had heard that its being built in Aussie land adn will later move production to the US.) Nevertheless...still doesnt do anything for me...

I could be wrong but I am pretty sure.
