HOLDEN: Holes, Oil leaks, Dents and Engine noise.

Haha I'll always be a Ford man! Currently driving around in a BA XR8 at the moment. Selling for peanuts these days! Picked it up for $6K!
Not a Ford fan but man they go like a shower of shit.

A mate of mine had a Typhoon, holy Farrrrk sat me back in my seat. Cousin had the GT id rather the Typhoon.

Have you seen "Barra the World"?? Them engines are crazy, they are throwing them in everything.

I wish they'd bring back the Bathurst 24 hour - now THAT was a race to get excited about.

  • 4 x cars each doing 6 hour straight shifts
  • Whichever car covers the most track in 24 hours wins
  • Cars are classified in divisions based on engine size, horse power, etc...
  • There were cars such as Porsche's, Ferrari's, Monaro, RX-7, BMW, Toyota MR2, WRX... Mitsubishi Magna :-)tearsofjoy::tearsofjoy::tearsofjoy:)

Loved the 24hr race. Was there for the first year they had the Monaro 427. The roar from the crowd when it pulled out from behind the Ferrari and blew past up Mountain Straight was huge!!

Yeah I remember that. I think sometime early on during the race the car had major mechanical issues and was towed in and worked on. I think sometime during the night the Ferrari had a huge problem and couldn't finish altogether, and that allowed the Monaro to come back in and win it.

GT has the V8 and sound which is how I like it, but the Turbo Barras are downright one of the best Australian inventions of all time and amazing engineering for what it is. These engines make a 1,620 kg brick move like a pocket rocket and deserve the recognition it looks like it's finally getting!

I haven't seen "Barra the World" so will check that out!

Its a page on Facebook, they are throwing them in everything and getting unreal results. A bloke I know threw the XR6T engine into his GU Patrol, holy sh*t does it move. They are putting them in VL's, 4x4's, hatchbacks damn near everything.

I've seen a few XR6 Turbos that have squeezed 700kw out of them.

I hate both Holden and Ford equally.

Both are over rated piece of shit American cars.
I’ll never own a Holden ever again.

The best commodores are the VC-VK models.

If I ever get enough money I’ll probably get a VK Brocky or walkinshaw.
The VK is a 1984 model, I was born in 1984 so it makes sense that I’d drive one

My mum had a VY it was reliable.
I owned one myself for a while.
No one believes me that I got 1000km out of one tank of fuel.

Trust me on premium,driving from Katoomba back into Sydney on a regular basis and not riding the accelerator, it can be achieved!

So it appears $150k donation to CAMS christmas party is the going bribe to win Bathurst!
Feel for Fabian, as he's been unduly hung out to dry over this.

DJR was the only ford team that most holden supporters could tolerate or even admit to a bit of support for.
Not any more!

Not a fan of either as I'm a JDM man but I do appreciate a certain type of Ford...
