They still build the power machines in Australia.  Get the new GMH HSV GTR,
stroked 305 to produce a 217kw 350 engine, get the optional APS supercharger
kit fitted and you have a 307kw engine with massive torque straight from the
factory line.

Now if only they could squeeze a set of turbos under the bonnet as well.
