When you consider the car was built in July 2004 in a few weeks and came in the top eight in its first event against Team Orange ( Japan’s best drift team ) plus other top drifters from Japan! The Monaro shows that it can compete against imported cars and win some times.

Hey Dunc
I saw that,well most of it.Great stuff! Is there a connection between Rhys Millen, and Rod Millen who had the 900bhp Toyota pick up and an 800bhp Celica ,(or vice versa). Damn quick whatever. I do remember him getting on the grass with the ute. If memory serves right I think he got 2nd ftd with it. Rod's a Kiwi too, got to be related haven't they?
