    I might be a big dummy but how did they get the white background ?

    Is this going in a magazine ?

    I reckon having a massive wide FMIC makes it look a bit try-hard. Having the small one (as it really has) looks more subtle and kinda fits in well with the size and look of the grille above it.

    I agree mate ... the car is supposed to be about subtle.

    ... and as others have pointed out, 1.5 sec 60' and 10.9 ET on street tyres ... it does just fine as it is.



    White background was the walls of the studio, the shots where just for fun. Kyle asked if I'd be keen to hire a studio and try it one day, I said HELL YES !!! He did an awesome job, it was basically just for fun.

    More beautiful photos- wish we had some of the GTO like them.
    Nick, I can't remember the modified specs of this car--perhaps you may like to refresh my memory--engine, trans, brakes etc!!--power output?
    Cheers, Pickles.

    I think that covers most of it ... I'm not 100% on all the mechanical stuff, but I think most of it is correct.

    Re: Coupe 4 Studio Pics

    You have 1 awesome coupe there mate with the 3 criteria that should have it grace the pages of a magazine:


    Well presented exterior
    Rarity
    Excellent power & track times

    I love it, i wouldn't change a thing (except maybe more power/better times lol)

    Smile Re: Coupe 4 Studio Pics

    Thanks for that--Bloody awesome--a lot of planning obviously went into it.
    I'd say put this car, with Mark's (HSV 105) Coupe 4 & his 427 Coupe, & you could quite possibly have the three best Coupes in Aus. Whichever is "BEST" would obviously be a subjective situation, & it's not important,- what may appeal to one, may not appeal to another, etc etc, & I know these vehicles were not built for that reason--but they are certainly SENSATIONAL Coupes--I'd love to see them all together.
    To get vehicles to this stage obviously costs a few dollars, & from my point of view, it's good to see people who work bloody hard, really enjoying the "fruits of their labour"!
    Top cars guys--congratulations.
    Cheers, Pickles.

    Thanks mate ...

    Being fortunate enough to have had a sit behind the wheel in Mark's GTO (just a sit ...) there is no doubt that it takes the cake, it's an absolute work of art and has the gear to back up it's appearance. As much as I love my Coupe I'd swap it for Mark's GTO in a heartbeat.

    Having said that ... I'd still put mine at No. 2 (Mark may disagree ...)



    I'd also love to see them altogether ... Red Coupe with a Black Coupe either side --->
