I also remember watching this live. Sad that the modern prima donna drivers no longer give commentary like the old days. Some of the best commentary lines were given by by the drivers. Dick Johnson came out with some classic one liners in his time.
I do recall him saying on Conrod straight he was doing "about 130mph" just so you could get an idea as to how fast the Toranas were as one was about to pass him like he was standing still!!
@21Wook75 - got a crystal ball, mate? Willo himself might be able to help you with the power, torque, weight and top speed, but quarter-mile time? No one ever tried to find out.

Does anyone know what the top speed of this race car was and what it was capable of doing at bathurst?
What is it's Horsepower and Torque, 0-100kph, standing quarter mile and racing car weight with that heavy camera in?
