Probably not on the pic.
The BEST thing out of NZ is Flight of the Conchords
the guys at work have just put a 427 into the VE HDT (IJ may have seen the pics around?)

we'll have some idea how the chassis handles the power after the weekend, as the boss is entered in a tarmac rally on sunday (16 or 18 stages in one day, i can't recall which, but it's a fair few competition km's)
once they got the motor in the car on wednesday, it was off to the dyno yesterday, where the car made 480hp at the rear wheels, with essentially a stock motor...

i'm sure he can afford it.... he's not just racing the HDT car for promotion... he also almost wrote off his Ferrari in last years Targa West
hell yeah.... about all we see of it is when they took us on a 'team building' trip earlier in the year.... and our group managed to rack up a bar tab of over 2 grand.... probably all tax deductible too....
One of my old bosses had 2x 308 GTB's a 930 Kremmer Porsche and a 928, him and his buddies used to rent Sandown every Wednesday afternoon to "play" (I didn't mind too much as I got to take the cars for tires in the morning)
He stuffed the 930 into the armco they had to get him out through the sunroof, car wnet in a container back to Germany for repairs....

I'm pretty sure the plans for the G8 were basically an SS Commodore with different bonnet and grille... Google will refresh my memory
