i see a monaro CV8Z, a HSV GTO and a monaro with small budget wheels and an ugly front?
i'm going to say the coupe 4 for it's long distance comfort.

By the constraints of your question - what is the best Monaro based car.

Has to be a Monaro, no?

You mean the HSV GTO with PWR supercharger


Anyway it's got to be the base as IB4 said, It makes them all without it nothing existed.
But the monkey man has a good point the GTS-R hubba hubba.

We dont really make supercars. We make lard-arsed family cars and spinoff's, and some kit cars.

The english version is my favourite, closely followed by the Aussi version (i only prefer the 500BHP English version). However, you Yanks managed to f*** this car up BIG TIME
