[GlennSnelling]

2 people are tree hugging, hippy, pussy, Prius drivers.

[racer6583]

OK I'm officaly jealous we here in the state's don't have targa's here like you all do been a fan of the Falcon's since I was a little tike my dad had a 65 falcon he bought in melbourn in 1966 and had it shipped here to Lorain,Ohio. and I've been hooked on the aussie styled falcon since then they look better and handle better then their American counter part. Just my opinion good driving, where did they place in the classic devision?

[gianniecarmela]

at 1:30 is the coote

[iLiR351]

Reminds me of Eleanor from gone in 60 seconds.. Beautiful machine

[RollinBling]

Now that sounds un real! So tuff! Would love to hear that in person. I bow down to you all mighty clevo.

[1339LARS]

Lovely!!! Thanks for the vid.

[meu69r]

tuff as sex to my ears,love a tuff clevo

[GreenFalc0n]

the compression lock at 0:48 makes it all much more badarse.

[ipdaily6]

awesome but it must have felt abit strange going across the top of skyline at bathurst the wrong way lol.

[dbrb253630]

That was scary under brakes in the beginning but no one can deny that this falcon looks and sounds just beautiful!

[mankins065]

man that car sings!!

[gtlegend007]

dav386 couldn't agree more fuck those plastic piece of shit skylines

[NYConnoisseur]

absolutely awesome...

[benjystick]

NICE!

[Samsgarden]

I hope they weren't stock brakes! ;-)

[mrtiger70]

How much fun is he having. Enjoyed the hanging the ass end out on purpose through most corners!!!! Good driver, nice heal and toe and looking after the over steer.

[canmachanic]

@mrtiger70 OMG! that is an awsome machine! i loved the video. he must have hade a blast!

[175myles]

Excellent machine! I am looking to buy and build a GT replica and have a mild tuned windsor.

[bjacko688]

Listen to that...that sounds healthy.. TUFF...i think they sound better on the road than the dyno...

[questioned1]

Can't decide what I like best... the sound or the fuckin' staunch look of this car! Think the sound has it though.

[5blacksmith5]

BOTH, haha>

Rally cars are fucking hard to drive :P - My dad works for a car carrier company and had a hq monaro and i had to take it off the truck and I recon i shat my self..it was scary......Alot of horses lol.

[Eagertman]

Awesome cars, and not enough money!

[Carlinosss]

BEST CAR!!

impresionante el torque de ese motor, y el sonido uff, hermoso.

se nota como el motor frena el auto en bajadas, puro power!!

[Xteckor]

cunts

[bjacko688]

fantastic..

[gergatronic]

The Cleveland on the other hand was released nearly a decade after the "Windsor" and had the benefit of intense development in that time. The Clevo had infinitely better heads than any Windsor even in 2V form.

in their day, Clevo 4V's were the best smallblock heads around. When fitted to the 302W to make the Boss 302, it always had a horsepower advantage over the Chevs & Mopars in the same class. The only thing that killed the big Clevo in the US was the oil crisis.

Then AUS got the tooling :)

[TheAtraxRobustus]

Damn! i THOUGHT i was ALWAYS right!Oh well,you know what happened to THOUGHT when he THOUGHT he farted?He actually SHIT himself..hahaha!! I stand corrected.Thankyou gergatronic

[gergatronic]

everyone's wrong sometimes..... I should know, of all people.

However I haven't sharted yet, and hope never to do so.

[steveisgt]

i cant se the car mate ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

[saintandrews84]

R E S P E C T !

[rasigs]

most of the targa cars do have a locked diff for traction that was a very nice ford nice a grunty more should be out there instead of being trashed

[gergatronic]

Sweet driving, looks like he's running a spool diff, hence the jerky & understeery corners. Engine sounds very healthy... plenty of vitamins there!

anyone know if it's a Clevo? (Eric Bana's XB runs a 351W)

If you're out there dude, keep it up...

just ignore the wankers who talk lots but know nothing.

[TheAtraxRobustus]

I heard the 351w has got it all over the clevo..is that cos the clevo's originally a truck motor?

[gergatronic]

nah mate, you're exactly incorrect. The "Windsor" 351 was an extended version of the 302. It is quite a heavy block, has small ports and valves. It was good for torque but never a race engine. It was probably best as a truck engine.

[pclarky]

Bloody big car, never thought they'd go that good. Awesome video, top drivin

[XAGT351]

why didn't i get 7 litre 351?.. oh i never got the gts option.. doh!

[tallicafan86]

music to my ears

[yngveskarphedinsson]

Love the Tone of this beast! Great Driving guys!

Wish my father kept the XW GT-HO years ago!

[ookland81]

Great video.

[tpp969]

toupnuts u dont know what ur talking about and gpigst if uv ever driven a beast like this its ud know that u just cant help yourself.he was havin fun and im jealous

[Touphnuts10]

no im not jealous and i know what im talking about because i know a short history on the ford falcon GT's. also my father own's a real 1972 XA GT with a 351 7.0L V8 an it has four doors!!! and yes it is fun to be in a car like that

[tpp969]

i said I'M JEALOUS there are REAL coupe gts and a 351 is 5.8 litres.ther now get it right

[Touphnuts10]

nah my dads has been brought out.

its a 7 litre

[dochenry]

okay dude, now your just embarrasing yourself, its a simple maths conversion, 351 cubic inches equates to 5751.85 CC or 5.8litres when rounded off. Therefore if your Dad has a seven litre, he has a 427 engine, not a 351. I am also pretty sure that there was an XA GT Coupe (In fact they won Bathurst in 73 and 74....)

[Touphnuts10]

soz i made a mistake in that message i actually meant 6.0 litre. it has been brought out from 5.8. soz

[tallicafan86]

haha u embarassed the fuck out of urself

[Touphnuts10]

no i didnt it was a simple mistake. shut ur mouth u dog ole

[tallicafan86]

no u are actually an all talk prick that knows only what you've read. i cant stand big mouths like you. go jump in ur imaginary 7 litre 351 and FUCK OFF

[Touphnuts10]

do u kiss ur mum with that mouth? i think ur the real big mouth here u homo. suck on them eggs faggot

[tallicafan86]

no i kiss your mum with this mouth. stop arguing with me mate you're startin to fucken annoy me. just accept that you're a wanker and walk away.

[Touphnuts10]

if ur getting annoyed maybe u shouldnt have started down this path in the first place retard?

[gpigst]

nice car , but just shocking driving man . Stop with the full on full off pump the pedal crap , get smooooth man .

[Touphnuts10]

i love FORD but u have to get it right for crists sack!! that is not an XA GT. that is actually an XA Coupe GTS (Grand Toura Special). the real XA GT's have 4 doors like every other GT in australia. although the XA Coupe GTS musle cars were built from spare XA GTHO Phase 4 parts!! THERE now get it right

[mche8778]

Are you retarded? Why does it have a GT badge you moron? There was no XA Coupe GTS, there was a GT, GS, Superbird, not a GTS...

[niggy88888888]

I'm chinese, all my mates have skylines and silvias and jap imports, I own a brock commodore... and bang for your buck nothing is more exciting to drive than a v8... muscle cars are harder to drive and are more rewarding and fun because of it, i'm glad and waited until I was smart enough to buy one...only regret...didn't get a torana slr 5000 when i couldve afforded one.

[420pardon]

bad asssss! Ford rules . Gotta get one in california even with gas prizes :)

[jimbo1485]

Insane video!

[superallye]

What a sound, the sound of intimidating raw power. B)

[fnixws]

Thats got to be one of the most sexy exhaust notes ive ever heard!

[dav386]

who gives a shit about handling.. these cars were made 20 years before the jap crap, and weigh twice as much, but i doubt ne jap crap car would scare their opponents with the sheer intimidating sound and raw horsepower!

[frenchguy09]

@dav386 put it against a 1988 skyline gtr32 and see what happens..Japanese cars started to get better in the 90s , they are not crap anymore.

[smoothie6ft3]

The Hot Rodders favorite soundtrack!

[gtfloor]

Awesome car, but yes they can't turn effectively and at speed. I have owned many aussie muscle cars and jap imports and the jap cars shit all over them for handling that is just the truth, kjb86 and kwaka06 you are fucking retards.

[Freddy1Walker]

mate the first statemant was ok then u fukin wrecked IT! THey are VERY DIFFERENT CARS (jap and muscle) YOU CANT COMPARE. dont be an asshole!

[kjb86]

watch who your calling a retard there el fucko, i have owned jap cars and boats without power steering, takes alot more skill to drive the latter, i have also driven a pro touring challenger owned by my cousin which would embarrass a built civic

[Megaloryan]

woah! Noise, damn thats music!

[kjb86]

this is how cars are meant to be driven

[juziu66]

what a pimp-mobile!

[gshdrums]

damn thats fast for a big car

[RacecarsAustralia]

Some more in car footage of this car at the Mt Buller Sprint - search 'Mt Buller Sprint XA GT Ford coupe Nov 2006'.....

[roflman]

lmao and retards say muscle cars cant turn

[kjb86]

no the people who say they cant turn are those import driving little pussies who cant handle the weight of the car

[kwaka06]

dont forget they also wear more makeup than their girlfriends if they one

[ellesdee1988]

LOVE TO SEE MORE!!! Thanks for adding, great car

[albfire]

thats fkn tuff =]

[RacecarsAustralia]

See this car crash at the Suncoast Rally '07 - hits the wall on the Noosa Hill Climb. Search Falcon XA GT crashes at Suncoast Rally.

[V8hel]

Yeah Baby!!

[stinkydogfilms]

Hi, Great ride and video. THANK YOU!;

What carb & cam ru running?

What rear gear and tire size?

THANKS A BUNCH!

[kickthatclutch]

HOLY SHIT thats one angry v8, thats what a real car sounds like! fords all the way!

[samftr]

this is what cars used to be made like. gawd that would put a horn on a jellyfish :D

[V8Robinson]

Fucking hell that was sex!

5 star rated and saved to favorites!

I am saving every bit of cash i get to hopefully buy one of these beautiful,legendary pieces of aussie muscle in my future lifetime.Shame i wasnt around in the 60/70's to buy one though.=(

[smirl83]

best video on youtube. Awesome

[redheadbloodnut]

i've got a 302C 73 xa coupe... is it possible to get the same "sound" as this gt?

[happysingerinoz]

Absolutely extractors and exhaust will give you the sound, to a point. My XBGT revved to 7500rpm so possibly what your want is the high rev sound. That takes engine and flywheel balancing, decent cam, single groove valves, good rocker gear and ignition as well.

[beniv8]

i have a XB coupe

[beniv8]

only a 302 tho, not as quick as this one

[Trevolta]

i love this video... cannot get enough of it!

what are the specs on that engine? and what gears are you running in the diff?

it goes like a ballistic missle!

[tonymac71]

just watch this every week, love the vid, the car and the sound is unreal....awesome guys, great car and excellent driving.wild!!

[thatcoffeewasgood]

Same gets you going ay!

[xcfalconcobra]

[4fuxake]

That, sir, is a beast and some very nice right foot steering to boot.

[ddre78]

Sounded awesome, slow as a wet weak though. Like most Aussie tanks.

[shootar75]

[yotty2001]

[kiwiV8]

[sfawiseman]

Nothing better than swinging some muscle around corners.

[m0ng0053]
