Another late change - the magazine can't bring the Evo IX anymore (Mitsubishi are idiots, thats why) so they have replaced it with a VZ HSV GTO. Thats basically our version of the Vauxhall Monaro VXR - with a 6.0L LS2 engine (400hp).

Main street isn't going to know what hit them once all those exotics turn up. Is anyone else up there or are you by yourself until tomorrow?
