**KAL SPL** · 24-01-2011, 08:53 PM

**KAL SPL** · 24-01-2011, 09:20 PM

GTS/R replica has a 500+ hp forged gen 3 going in , best of both worlds but I suspect the Calais will still be quicker , gonna be tricky racing myself in in my own car ...

lol we can just meet in the city somewhere man. i don't mind a bit of a drive. city of somewhere in the eastern suburbs, somewhere worth going lol.

the spoiler on that yellow car is intense! almost as intense as the yellow!

**VLC86** · 24-01-2011, 11:02 PM

ohhhh so YOUR the one who owns that yellow beast.

I have seen pics of it and always wanted to know more about it. Have you got a thread for it anywhere?

Btw, the calais is insanely awesome. I love the pic of the glowing exhaust

**KAL SPL** · 24-01-2011, 11:39 PM

The GTS/R is built from scratch by me as a replica for shows/burnouts.
It started life as a V6 automatic green Acclaim.

Theres no thread on here for it no , there is how ever on Street Commdores.
The spoiler is a copy of the genuine , looks freakin retarded but its an in your face kinda car so it has to stay.

**ephect** · 27-01-2012, 10:32 PM
