The Monaro I think qualifies as a genuine performance car. This car has one both Bathurst 24 hour races held so far. Beating such cars as Ferrari Lambo, Porsche and Mosler.
If I could figure out how to post pictures, I have a few of this car

ain't no V8 supertaxi but sure ain't a full blooded monaro. its basically a supercar with a monaro skin. i mean do you see other cars in the nation cup making drastic changes to the car so it can compete with others?

Check out Clarkson's review of the "Vauxhall" Monaro in the latest edition of Top Gear Mag. He seems to think the stock standard Monaro performs

those monaros were not illigally entered in those races because they were based on the 427 engine. and as it it didnt go into production it didnt really win.

Clarkson review the hsv GTS ages ago,and he reckon it was like a Aston Martin Vantage V8.This was back in 1999 in Head to Head.
