Fastest Australian build production car ever

[jc_sv8]

I remember a wheels article years ago when they did a speed test at Avalon.
I'll see if I can dig it up. The Commodore was third fastest given the euros had a 250 limiter.

I do recall reading an article at the time stating the GTO as the fastest HSV ever, but I don't know what the definition of fastest was.

I know weight maybe and aero definately the GTO has it covered, but again not sure on diff, I know one of the 1st mods I did was diff

Interesting note about the Monaro aero is that the Monaro that was built for Peter Hananberger as a retirement present had a HRT427 show car style front splitter on a pretty standard looking Monaro (not HSV) front bar and the HRT 427 small lip spoiler at the back as well. Presumably to help it down the autobahns with Hananberger took it back to Germany.

^ nice, I always wanted a HRT427 kit on Monaro, but thought it might be a bit try hard, the one of like that would be a nice addition to the garage

I don't think modified from standard really counts mate

just a diff ratio - factory optioned

just a diff ratio - factory optioned

What model was that an option in? Never seen an m6 ls1 not have a 3.46 as the tallest available from factory. Besides LSD I didn't think there ever has been an option to get something different

just a diff ratio - factory optioned

I though the maloo ute did a official 277 km/h in that top speed test by skaife on the return run. Any production cars faster above that on official record run

Not aware of any from many mags I've read

hehe enjoying the MOTOR/Wheels arguing.

For most test from 2009-2012 I would have been at them all, especially the Ford/Holden comparo's.
