Did someone say Diablo, F360GT, BMW GTR?

Did someone say "Holden" and "$475,000" in the same sentence?
(That's right, I did!)
The argument seems more based on the following:
Monaro = Purpose-built, Bathurst 24 hour vehicle.
Ferrari, Lambo = Road-going cars (yes, they can actually be purchased in similar spec), "modded" for racing.
Mosler = Road/race car which is substantially cheaper than the afore-mentioned Monaro.
BMW M3R = hard-done by Monaro "shunt" victim 
Given the sponsorship $, I doubt it would be that difficult to source and build a Bullet Roadster SS which would, in the hands of a competent crew of mechanics/drivers, run consistent 2:18-2:20 times, giving it a realistic chance of outright honours, at considerably less than the cost of a Monaro...IMHO, of course. (At least we know the engine would cope with it!  )
/end rant (Sorry, but it gets up my nose that people are "marketing" generic GMH products on the strength of a car which bears almost no resemblence to the road-going version...)
