WHEN your ‘other car’ is a twin-turbo big-block HQ Monaro, life’s pretty good. But good things don’t come easily, and this monster Monaro build was hard slog for ‘RIVAL’ XE (p.24) builder and co-owner Eddie Khazi.
“This HQ wasn’t supposed to exist,” he says. “My brother Younan and I were building our XE, and my cousin Sagz said he wanted to build an HQ. He said he had a vision of a 2000hp street car, so I said if he handled the drivetrain I’d do the rest. If it wasn’t for Sagz, this car wouldn’t have been built; it was a family project and he made it happen.”
Eddie makes it sound so simple, as though we’re all capable of knocking out a full-rotisserie
