Default Holden SS Ute Fastest prod. truck 167 mph

Used to be the 147.7mph 385hp blown Fordt Lightning
then it was the 154.5mpg SRT10 Dodge Ram V10

On May 25, 2006 the 168mph Holden Ute SS beat them both.
the Holden "truck" is now oficially entered in the Guiness Book Of World Records as the fastest production truck in the World.

I dont know if this was posted on this site before but I thought I would post it up. I did a search and saw no mention of it.

peace
Hog

See I dont know what they like on that side of the Earth, but when they bring **** like that here, it stops making me feel bad for GM's hard times. Like the Aztec, WTF was that crap? Make something good looking or I'll slap you.
