Not even in the same stratosphere
    Now thats bullshit ive seen plenty of monaros and toranas that would be in the same class as xy gt
    infact there is a black lh slr 5000 for sale on car sales have a look then come back to me its better than original
    he is also a member of the torana forum as im sure you are to

    No need to get defensive or abusive.... Ever been to a Gt nationals... Their concours cars are detailed to higher than factory spec... that attention to detail is brought about by a far more comprehensive judging regime... This is aided by the fact that ford back in the day with their Gt spec cars built them like a grand tourer and they are real matching numbers cars and ford has the GT held in much higher esteem than most holdens... holden simply just punched here cars off the production line and car build and componentry varies from state to state....

    I am not a ford fan but i can appreciate the level of restoration to concours standard in a lot of their elite cars.... And detail far exceeds anything to date at a monaro nationals.... In fact concours at the last monaro nationals was downright embarrasing in comparison.... Absolutely beautiful monaros in their own right but when it comes to detail they are not a patch on the Xy boys

    Each to their own i guess.....
