Just a bit of background on the Gio's...
They were originally going to have a twin turbo alfa v6 in the middle. Paul Halstead, the man behind the project decided to source an engine locally and thus came the Walkinshaw V8, with 60kw more than the Group A Commodore.
They were originally going to supply 100 Giocattolo's to the qld police for pursuit cars, however after giving one vehicle to the police for test driving and them crashing it, they decided that their average pig couldn't handle the car and they'd have 100 less pigs on the road.
