Who buys a 900 K muscle car that\’s just a monaro with waaaay too much money spent on it ?

Answer: A holden fan with too much money.

And boyoh, the reason the Phase 3 was so great in essence is because it was a taxi cab base. The fact that the phase 3 was the fastest 4 door car in the world helps….This thing wouldn\’t even be in the top 100.

I know mate, sure the Phase 3 does drive like a drunk cow, BUT. That’s not the point, compared to a GT-R skyline this thing would drive like a sack of spuds as well. I just can’t see why everyone is gawking at this thing.

As for the performance figures…
An F6 falcon can pull 500 Nm of torque……and 315kw of power…Sure it’s forced induction, but it’s also a 4 liter motor….and costs about 800 K less.

This isn\’t about what car is best. It\’s far more intelligent than that.

This particular vehicle is one of only two made. That makes it a collectible. That makes it as valuable as whatever anyone is prepared to pay. It does not make it a brand winner, it makes it the most valuable collected vehicle of its type due to the price it attracted at the time of its last sale.

Personally, I\’d rather have that money in something as risk free as a Fixed Term Deposit, but maybe this person has some of his cash kept that way already, maybe he has a range of investments and this is nothing more than another one to add to his diversification of his funds, so that whatever happens, he\’ll still have some things of value to liquefy should the need arise.

Seriously, most of the comments here are infantile and ignorant.

Everyone values different things, everything has a value, so no matter what you preserve, it will always have a value to someone, this is what collecting is all about, that and the hope that one day whatever you collect will bring you a nice tidy sum if you ever need it.

It most definitely isn’t about who can piss the furthest.

Mike settle down and appreciate the car for what it is, not what badge is on the front. I’m no big fan of Holden but this thing puts out 417 Kw and 780 Nm of torque. The badge means nothing, the output is awesome and would be an absolute adrenalin rush to drive. I have driven a GTHO Phase 3 and yes it fun to a degree, but I have driven loads more modern cars that were that much better than a GTHO and had 3/4′s the output of the HRT.

Besides Golfies comments were about how rare it is, hell Adolf Hitlers Merc sold for millions of Euros ‘but no one bitched about how that stacks up against a GTHO.

What the hell Golfschwein…For starters there is no comparison between a Phase 3 and this…..piece of crap. Firstly: A phase 3 was a family car….It had 4 doors and could be bought in it’s day for 5000 dollars….and if you bought one you could go down to Bathurst and race and even possibly win if you were a good driver.
This pile of crap doesn’t even look good. Holden have made some nice looking cars over the years….but this isn’t one of them. To me it looks like a VZ commodore that has had it’s mouth pulled wide open and then had 500 kg or dead weight put in the ass. The GTHO had class, presence and best of all….A shaker scoop. This has none. Don’t go comparing a tarted up VZ to Australia’s best muscle car.

YOU IDIOTS. Who gives two shits on how you think the near-million dollars should be spent.
OBVIOUSLY he has more than enough money and no financial limits, well to this extent anyway.

You all make stupid suggestions on how he should spent the money for which he could probably build another 10 of the same thing and still have money left over, but who gives a shit when a guy like that is probably wiping his ass with $100 bills.

So stop wasting comment space and just admire the car. She’s beautiful and if i had very deep pockets like him i wouldn’t care how overpriced the car is.

This car is awesome & it’s the best fast street legal Holden.
It is sad it wasn’t put into production, but this rich Chooka guy is so lucky. Is he just a normal Australian citizen with the money? He can drive it on the roads if he wants. If I am rich I wouldn’t mind buying if it is on sale again. You can download the 427C for NFS6 Hot Pursuit 2 game from http://www.nfs-planet.de
