@Euromobile: There was a company in the late 70's early 80's that used to fit malaise era Trans Am front noses to these Sandmans and utes. Sounds and looks weird, but true. I'll have to find a picture somewhere to blow your little jalop minds
(by little, I don't mean that in a flippant way)

Anyway, on the subject of this 900-odd horsepower ute, how many concrete paving slabs are standard fit in the bed to keep the rear end planted?

@TexanIdiot25: I'm not against it, mind you, if I had one, I'd want a bed cover. Thus, the station wagon (shooting brake?) style is to my liking. Also, the HHR is FWD isn't it? Not for me, thank you.

OMGWTFBBQ!?!?

That is awesomeness, even if it's only a cap. Gimme that on the 4 door crew cab holden. It could be the new Ecto-1.

]]> <![CDATA[926 HP Holden Ute: Blueprint For An Epic Pontiac G8 El Camino]]> Ok, so the port in the right part of the front air dam, is that the exhaust? I can't imagine it being some sort of intake being that there's no protection from debris.

]]> <![CDATA[926 HP Holden Ute: Blueprint For An Epic Pontiac G8 El Camino]]> It's nice and all (well, except the wheels), and I respect the near 4-digit hp rating.

But I'd be more inclined to convert my Neo-mino to run on vegetable oil. Maybe that way, Darryl Hannah would return my phone calls.

]]> <![CDATA[926 HP Holden Ute: Blueprint For An Epic Pontiac G8 El Camino]]> 900+ HP... I don't like the wheels???

900+ HP... doesn't seem like much usable space?

I'm sorry but WTF?

JoSCh

]]> <![CDATA[926 HP Holden Ute: Blueprint For An Epic Pontiac G8 El Camino]]> i prefer the way the Walkinshaw Performace supercharger looks, but 926 horsepower is hard to argue with...

and yeah, 900 horsepower + 22 inch wheels = wrong.

]]> <![CDATA[926 HP Holden Ute: Blueprint For An Epic Pontiac G8 El Camino]]> Nice mullet on the guy scoping out the engine. I agree that the wheels don't work on this car. Cragars or torque thrusts would suit it better.

LTDScott, Porcubimmer pilot

]]> <![CDATA[926 HP Holden Ute: Blueprint For An Epic Pontiac G8 El Camino]]> @lascauxcaveman: You are correct. I did an image search but couldn't find an example without the rear side windows. From my perspective, the Nomad would be more useful than the El Camino layout. Hey, but whatever burns your clutch!

@lascauxcaveman: You could be right but I think that was also called the Nomad, just a different version.

See HHR SS Panel. Panel looks, 260hp go power.

]]> <![CDATA[926 HP Holden Ute: Blueprint For An Epic Pontiac G8 El Camino]]> @TR3-A: Nomad had side windows. You're thinking of a sedan delivery, which is also pretty cool.

]]> <![CDATA[926 HP Holden Ute: Blueprint For An Epic Pontiac G8 El Camino]]> Those rear tires will last approx. 4 miles.

]]> <![CDATA[926 HP Holden Ute: Blueprint For An Epic Pontiac G8 El Camino]]> @TR3-A: Nomad is the two door wagon period, glass irrelevant.

As for this beast, the WHEELS ARE WRONG. This thing needs some brute simple Cragars. Looks like bicycle tires. Or cheesy flower petals.

]]> <![CDATA[926 HP Holden Ute: Blueprint For An Epic Pontiac G8 El Camino]]> GM makes one of those too, it's called the HHR Panel and you can get it turbocharged.

]]> <![CDATA[926 HP Holden Ute: Blueprint For An Epic Pontiac G8 El Camino]]> Ya, it's cool. But I don't get the fascination with the El Camino layout. It doesn't look like much usable space. Personally, I'd prefer the covered "delivery van" type two-door station wagon like Chevy had in the 50's. No rear side windows. Dang, what was it called? NOMAD! Ya, that's what I'd want. A Pontiac G8 Nomad.
