Does H signify anything outside of bumping a dead thread?

Just as a side note, don't know if anyone has mentioned that GM is pulling its Holden mfrg division in Australia (Ford and Toyota too). No more Holden brand cars/trucks. May get hard to find parts for the Holden brand?

Holden is just GM parts bin. It won't be too bad of an issue

I disagree. Except for use of the GM LS engines, Holden is a separate brand with its own and exclusive models and platforms from which GM borrowed for the NA operations. The Pontiac GTO was basically a rebadged Holden and that is what made it an awesome car.

Then there was the "Utes" which were basically hot-rodded mini-pickup trucks which unfortunately never made it outside Australia. They were almost unbeatable at the track.

Anything you're speaking of that meets that criteria wasn't sold in the states. GTO parts are plentiful. G8 parts are plentiful. Oh yeah.... the camaro5 a rebadged Holden with a Chinese design for a shell.... It's the only three cars that they're talking about that made it to this country Plus they have decent aftermarket support so maintaining a car in the US shouldn't be hard.

On a side note, my buddy used to have one of these that made 500 WHP, he sold it about a year ago and we just learned today the car was totaled this morning. Maybe you should keep the car OP

How about a 2016 Challenger RT vs 2016 370z?
