When it was a little milder, the car did see street action, but nowday's I don't think so. Personally I'd just have it for the occasional Sunday cruiser.

I don't know about that nowday's
in the SC mag they say theyve seen it cruising around there office.
Mate dont believe everything SC Mag says. They are known for saying things that arent 100% true. That statement might have meant that they saw it once in traffic on their office side of Sydney Harbor. Then again they might see it all the time.
The only thing I dont like about MR355 is the airbrusching on the scoop. im sorry but it doesnt look good and aribrushing IMHO is so 5 years ago. It really doesnt suit Commodores, even if they are show specials. But thats my opinion and everyone is welcome to theirs.
PS - That intake manifold (trumpets) is beautiful, makes me cry from joy of seeing one on a street car.

Airbrushing is something that suit's some car's perfectly, but personally, I think MR355 could've done without it.

I don't think that it would be the best Walky in the country. The auto gearbox ruins it. I could accept if he removed the T5 to replace it with a six speed box but not for an auto.

I dont like it, for the amount of custom gera in it, He should have done up a stock vl and put the kit on it instead of ridding the walky of all its interior etc. The motor however would be killer in a genuine walky.

Why do i dislike the auto? Many reasons. I don't like autos in any car (BMW SMG excepted because it is really the 6spd manual box with computer control) and to see a homologated race car with an auto in it is just totally wrong. No sane person would ever race one with an auto gearbox.

Yeah but with the intention's of this car after it's show life, I don't think a manual box is gonna help it any

It's close enough to my dream of a Turbo Walkinshaw with 2 speed powerglide and 9 inch diff in show condition
