I personaly believe we're all in a bit of a period of time here.

You see, in the 60's there was the famous era of muscle cars, however now, we're in the era of people going around crazy in modded jap cars.

I mean nowa days (mind me, I live in Australia) we usualy see jappenese cars with "fart pipes" driving around with youngsters in them. How often do you see them in anything else? Ok, down here we still got a fair bit of that V8 rumble going around but I can feel it too.

Muscle cars are dying. But not to worry for you muscle car fans, we got the C6 Vette and 05' Mustang coming around. And I know some of you think our Aussie cars arent in the american spirit, but we have alot to contribute too, in the future.

Look at our FPV Falcon GT and our HSVs that may well one day be exported.
And look!!!!!! We already have our Monaro over there sold as the GTO.

The V8s shall return soon 8)
