Yeah. I put 12 bags in my Z. Problem was, I couldn't get in, but at least the groceries were in.

My wife's car is a G8 GT, when i got my Z i was very disappointed in how it felt in the tq department. But i guess that's what i get for driving the G8 around for like 3 months while waiting for my Z to come in. And the G8's trunk is huge you can fit 3 dead bodys in there no problem. The Z is still way way hotter but they are both fun too drive. This is the only pic i have of it in my profile.

It is not a Pontiac - it is a LH drive Holden Commodore, built in South Australia by
General Motors Holden, based on the Commodore VE II platform which is designed in OZ.

This vehicle is also exported to the Middle East badged as Chev Lumina.

If you want to see what the local hot-up merchants do to them, have a look at HSV.com.au - The Official Holden Special Vehicles Website

The latest local incarnation runs 317Kw LS3 with 355mm front brakes, riding on 20" wheels, but they are HEAVY .... ~1800kgs .....

Seen one on my way home from work yesterday, that thing just looks like a fat ass, I dont think i'd have any trouble with my current setup shittin all over it. Straights or twisties, take your pick. Its the latest incarnation of the GTO and I've raced my share of them, favoring me of course

I had an IS350 (306hp), and I don't really think it's any faster than my Z. It was still a very fast car though. I miss the Mark Levinson sound system in that thing.

The sound system in every Lexus I sit in is amazing. I got to ride in one of the first SC430's in the U.S. and it had the Mark Levinson sound system. It was amazing.

I want to know who Mark Levinson is and why he installs his stuff in Toyotas.
