Taste is an odd thing eh? I've never liked HK sedans because of the tail lights, I do like the HK GTS though. My first car was a HG kingswood and I always wanted a HG prem. I now have a HG GTS and a HT Brougham but my favorite holden body shape is the HQ

my favourite in original trim is the HK GTS Ermine white with Goya red interior...... very nice my favourite as a street machine with big wheels, lowered with a couple of 650 double pumpers out the bonnet would be the HQ coupe Edited by user Friday, 11 July 2008 7:16:52 PM(UTC)

I like the HG GTS 350 with the stripes and twin bonnet nostrils, for HQs the GTS Coupe again with stripes and for the newer body the GTO with AWD.

The comparison with the CV8 was with a standard HT GTS 350 running standard wheel alignment settings and standard ER70H14 radial tyres. The Beechey car was mentioned as "The greatest Monaro off all time". The HT GTS 350 is the clear winner all-

In factory guise i'd prolly not really care to own a Monaro and would prolly look towards an XR to XY GT or an XA GT coupe but to own and modify a car of my choice then it's the HK Monaro all the way for me, no second choices.
