I like the black door handles, nice touch.

Woah, what an absolute machine. Love it

But isn't it a little silly to have a Chev powered vehicle as a promo car for a "308 Performance Centre"?

yes the diff centre is is painted blue now, we specialise in 308s but we build all types of motors including chev and ford we have plenty of tuff 308s flying our flag already. so one little chev wont hurt. and it sounds so horny. :D
