Was this interesting specimen. [excuse the mobile phone quality]
Just as i got taking photos the owner rolled up and told me its an XT with a 5.4L done by Jason Bright. Only things different is the suspension and exhaust. he noted the lack of traction control and demostrated this on his departing. forgot to film that unfortunately. my grin was too big. could it be the little brother to this possibly? |

There's a few of those style cars getting round up here.
The other day I saw an old 00 Motorsport AU cruising round. Was done up in the colours and had a TS50 bodykit on it. God knows what was under the bonnet. Sounded very nice though.

I reckon it looks nifty, and the rims are top notch too.

I've seen a VT Commodore around here in 2003 Kmart Racing colours. It had a VT HSV bodykit on it (not sure whether it was actually a HSV). Understandable, being from Clayton, the home of HRT and it's satellite teams. I've also seen Kanga Loaders paint all their cars like their 2004 development series race car (although their road cars have a no. 1 on the door instead of 41)
