Changes

The '''Pontiac GTO''' was possibly the first muscle car in that it combined a big and powerful V8 engine with a mid-sized standard car.  It became an American icon and spawned dozens of similar cars.  It was rereleased in the 2000s, but instead of using an American car GM decided to use cars from the widely acclaimed GM-Holden rear wheel drive platform, which is designed and built in Australia. Initially an americanised version of the universilly praised Holden Monaro was used. After production of the Monaro stopped, a version of the HSV Commodore was used, the car sold reasonably successfully and was cut due to GM's decision to axe the Pontiac brand. The 2013 Chevrolet car in NASCAR will essentially be made to look like the most current version of the HSV Club Sport, the current version of what was the GTO, which will be produced in limited numbers and badged as a Chevrolet.
