Hard to tell if he's fast or any good, when there was barely another vehicle in sight. Most numpties can steer a car around a track, if there's nothing at all to compare with.

I've got a 1964 high nickel FE block in my 73 Ford, short bed, factory high boy 4X4. Hedman Headers and Series 40 Flowmaster Desert Racing Mufflers shotgunned out the side in front of the rear tire. It doesn't sound quite that loud but I've had it over 7000 RPM and I LOVE IT! Second owner for the last 36 years. Very Proud and everybody turns their head when I'm around, LOL! People gather around it when I take it to town, LOL! Almost bullet proof engine! Thanks for the laughs of joy, LOL!

And now all we need is another 30 odd of them and we could rival the Glen. Maybe even throw in a track where you turn left. Must be even more intense in person. Love the high revs of a NASCAR V8 though

The XT series wasn't anything special. It was hardly different to - or better than - the XR. (This race car is only an XT in shape and basic structure. It might have leaf sprung, live axle, rear end, but that's about it.) I really like the XT GT, but whilst it was a lovely gran turismo car, it wasn't that good when it came to racing against the Monaro.

That sound could give a dog a bone!

It's definitely not iconic, mate. This car doesn't have a Falcon engine or gearbox, probably doesn't have much XT in the suspension department, and *definitely doesn't* have XT Falcon brakes. It'll have a live axle and leaf springs, and from the outside _looks_ like an XT GT. Since we didn't see the driver being tested in any way at all, we never really saw any serious race driving. No-one was obstructing him, or matching him, or making him push any limits. It's only when the pressure is on, that you see if a car has good handling, and if a driver can really race. That's all aside from the fact that when Ford brought the XT GT to Bathurst, it was soundly beaten by the first GTS Monaro.

Now that is music to my ears. What a sweet sounding engine. Awesome!!

Love the growl of good running V8.

What a car, no wings or fragile components, makes our supercars look pretty ordinary. And I imagine at a fraction of the cost of the current cars..

madventures south australia Yes you re correct. To give you some idea of the changes.. . I own a 64 Fairlane 500. This is the same car that back in the day Holman Moody Stroppe turned into a few maybe 4 or 5 prototype NASCAR racers with the 427 side oiler engine. The idea was that these midsized cars could better compete with the smaller lighter MOPAR hemi engined cars since NASCAR had stupidly banned the Ford 427 SOHC engine from NASCAR. HMS basically took a stock Fairlane tied the front and rear subframes together with a full rollcage and installed a full NASCAR spec chassis under the car. Heavy duty everything from the FORD parts bin. Suspension pickup points were altered for better steering geometry wheelwells were altered fo r larger tire and wheel fitment and so on. I had the pleasure of speaking around 5 years ago to young Holman who was kind enough to s e nd me several pictures of the underside of one of the cars his shop had prepped. It had NO resemblance to a stock Fairlane chassis. The approximate cost according to Hol man of a rolling chassis sans engine and transmission was 250 000 dollars. You can see one or more of these cars running a vintage 427 Ford engine probably producing around 600 hp circulating around the tracks at Nordschief and Nurburg on Utube. Just query 427 Fairlane at Nurburg or 427 Fairlane at Nordschief. The Fairlanes lik e this Falcon are brutally awesome as they overtake and pass everything on th e track and the incabin video of the drivers is outstanding. Watching the tach and speedometer run up as the cars enter a straightaway from a slow corner is fascinating. The acceleration is awesome. Since the Falcone XT is an Australian car my question is whether the NASCAR engine is based on a Ford Midland or Cleveland Engine. Either I suppose would be possible if the engine originated in Australia.
