Ford SUPERCAR drag races Nismo Touring Champion! Falcon V8 vs Super GT 350Z

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

The Hoonigan Digital Swap Meet is LIVE! Check it out on our eBay Store ➤ www.ebay.com/s...
A match you thought could only happen in Gran Turismo we’re bringing to you IRL straight from Australia! Con’s Ford Falcon EL was built by legendary Aussie racer Glenn Seton and has all the cool racecar things like dual fuel ports and a ITBs on its 5.0L Windsor small block. Nismo built a certified champion when it made Dale’s Super GT 350Z, and it also has the cool racecar things like loads of carbon fiber, giant radiator ducts, and a VQ35 so spicy it needs a restrictor.

IT's the best sounding VQ EVER.

    About Hawk pads: I use the 5.0’s for autocross and daily driving. They’re fantastic, BUT I do NOT recommend the HPS pads. I had them on an 03 Mazda protege and they were terrible to daily drive on, just my personal experience. Now about the 5.0’s: I’ve overheated them a couple times at tail of the dragon to the point they were bellowing smoke yet they never faded! They’re very consistent and great for autoX when they’re hot. Great pad, can’t recommend them enough!

I grew up going to Oran Park, Eastern Creek and Bathurst to see that era of car race, V8 Supercar's still have their charm now, but that time from the mid 90's to the mid 2000's was so special as a fan.

    for those people not familiar with Ford Falcons: they were the family saloon body on a Ford Mustang chassis. they were deeply unpopular in the US but went mental in Australia, i suspect because of the chunky boxy shape and the extra room you get with a saloon. consequently you get 5.0 Litre 80s "not-fox-body" Must...Falcons and so on and they are just as awesome as Mustangs, because only the body is different, everything else is literally identical, year-for-year, model-for-model, because that saved Ford a ton of money in mass-production of components!

    I think it has more to do with the gearing, 1st gear on those old supercars was so long, they used to regularly break axles or burn out clutches from a standing start, especially if they had a full tank (like Bathurst).

  • @DR3ADER1

    Long gears and the weight gap led to the Falcon losing 2-1. However, if a GT500 spec 350Z competed instead of the GT300 (which is impossible because those cars are technically "loaned" from the big 3 Japanese Manufacturers, and are often donated to museums after their tenure on the track ends with a few exceptions such as the 90s GT500 Supra that's rotting outside of a shop in the Japanese Midlands), the Falcon would lose 2-0.

    Yep, sway bars. The cars had big fuel tanks so from full to empty the balance of the car would change enough that being able to adjust the bars gave an advantage. Would have probably helped in the wet too.

    GT500 would need a lot of weight handicap & power restrictors for parity. GT500’s would have closer races with Formula 2 & LMP cars around a track. Saying that the v8 Supercar series generally did have some of the best battles & more exciting races than most
