And let’s also not forget the GTO. Yes it’s a Holden and yes it’s made in Australia but it has an American corvette engine and Clarkson said "if you are buying any other car besides the GTO in its price range you are dumb and boring!" Or something very close to that lol. And that was the 5.7l GTO they haven't even tested the 6.0 400HP GTO that you can buy here for only 31k!! That’s only around 15,000 pounds!! You can argue over if it’s more of an American car, or more or an Australian car but one thing is for sure, it’s just about the most kick ass thing you will EVER be able to buy for such a low price!!
sorry, but if i were getting something in that price range, i'd like my cars to turn. so my money would go for either a used m3 or an rx8.
Hah well if you watched Clarkson test drive the GTO you would know it doesn’t need to be steered. As he put it you can basically steer the car while looking out the side window!! And as far as it’s over all steering I think it did pretty well when Stig drove it. Didn’t it beat the NSX-R? Even if not I know it destroyed the M3. And that was just the 5.7L not the 6.0L!!

Jeremy, Richard and James just go on and on about how great this car is. And all of us in America can buy the 6.0L for HALF of what it costs them!!

The 6.0 GTO is just crazy power and performance for the price!
