Yager Performance, XY-GTHO, Race 3 "no music"

[426hemi49]

Great video.You know how to steer the chariot.lol.

[natoization1]

That was / is the best video I have watched on youtube yet. Love the sound as it mumbos down conrod and the backlash that the box makes braking into the Chase is awsum, brings the hairs on my neck up..... Got love the little wave as he passes the leader and the quick adjustments of.the rearview. And the wiper hanging on for dear life down conrod..... Absolutely brilliant!

[coppertopp39]

the greatest sound you'll ever hear ....V8's rock.... no other car sounds better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[yronwyatt49b]

Your vid went viral on Sarajevo

[airdelivery]

For anyone ever associated with cars of this era, this video is just spine tingling! C'mon, even the Holden fans have gotta like this......The sound, the power......end of rant. Great post!

[nickolascook718]

Your video is a favorite on Morocco



[highway212]

Stoked. Awesome mate. Well done.

[TheTuggerrype]

I think the bloke in the charger actually indicates when he's veering left or right which is cool. How did the Datsun 1600's go??

[devstube]

What alovely noise on down changes!

[MuzzDrifter94]

This is dangerous with so many slow cars on the track.

[jaimusicxx]

Excellent Video, I am a muscle car fan from way back when my dad and uncles all drove these cars and this is without doubt one of the nicest in car videos I have ever seen. Sensational driving – thank you for sharing; this brings back nice memories!

[supershovel]

@jaimusicxx Amen to that brother.

[RIPSNZ]

Nice driving, very patient at the start there, I think I would have "pushed" my way through a little more, well done, sounded great, smooth driving.

[ktmgirl01]

Brilliant in car footage. Loved it. Thanks for posting it.

[benprouse]

I notice he doesn't overtake the charger quite so easy....top sound, cool video.

[wertpollwert]

@benprouse

coz he was blocked. but when he did overtake it,he blew its doors off.

[mjtossell]

Sweet

[flamingfrancis]

What category is this?. Seems to have everything but a Silver Top cab racing. The good ole Chacha kept it honest for a lap.

[DownUnderDoug]

What a drive, great video. better without the music

[3265member]

For a an old bloke who did a stint in the pits at Bathurst Armstrong in the 60's and got fined for exceeding the speed limit down Conrod this is extreme pleasure and brings back memories I don't want to lose!!!

[MillsMotorsport]

That was awesome! Geez I miss "old" Bathurst with different classes and cars, not just generic Falcodores.

[acme2263]

Great clip thanks ,oh and whirlybird she told me it was Calder not Bathurst !!!:) 57 seconds in my day!!

[darath74]

That was just awesome.

[miami33158]

Great undulating track. Nice driving to boot. Nice job on the the pick with the yellow car. This is real racing and shows why you don't have to be running 150-220 mph to be racing

[moffsta27]

@miami33158 This car down the straight will do about around 170 mph

[MagicMongoloid]

Fantastic vid! All my favourite cars on one of the world's greatest tracks!

[Aelleor]

This is why you don't put music over race videos.

[rclass707]

Well I am impressed even though I am not a ford person ,AWSOME! you just can't beat the roar of a healthy V8 and thats a fact.

[jnieblas69]

intense!!!!!!!!...this video is a rush!!!

[myjizzureye]

Thanks christ there is no music.

[TheCHOOK75]

fantastic musle car... and track... lets see the new cars try that, they don't even come close...... new cars are good, but, not that good.. thanks for putting this on, brighten anybodys day.

[rogue67]

Can we see the same race from the Charger's P.O.V?

[rogue67]

Ummm. Hello. Did anyone miss the R/T Charger peeling away??

[FordmanFender]

@rogue67 I dont think he was peeling away champ it looked like he was slowing him down if anything...

[v6hilux]

After watching this, my eyes are watering and my throat is choaked-up - good shit!

[ajenstini]

Never get sick of watching this.Bloke in the Charger tries some desperate passing moves up the mountain does'nt he?

[nullliner]

Love this video. Keep opening it just to hear that v8 and watch the shaker twisting around. Then end up having to watch until he passes that yellow Charger!

[MrGromkor]

Wow! Amazing skill on one of the world's greatest tracks - Mount Panorama. As others have said - this video has amazing sound and the camera is in the perfect spot for viewing. I only wish there were a few more laps. Goose bumps to the extreme indeed. Simply awesome!

[tlareng]

Dissapointing to see the checkered flag, there were still two more cars to catch!

Excellent video!

[natbec01]

That is definety one of the BEST on Youtube

the sound is magic, Great driving skills and patience in the slower trafic and how good it the shaker moving back and forth

I must have one......

[hepburn118]

i am so good i can adjust my mirror while im overtaking.this man is my god!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BundyToo]

Grouse ...... 9.21 of pure euphoria even if it is a Falcon!

[hepburn118]

ive watched this at least 100 and it gives me goose bumps.Ill never get sick of it, and thats coming from a skyline race car owner!

[mjtossell]

That is absolutely AWESOME!

[dragstarshaz]

Superb video!

[dmxtreme1978]

Awesome vid dude, as well as some awesome driving..... gotta love that ole skool v8 roar :)

[tr5aus]

Fantastic video... Wish I'd had the chance to race Bathurst when I came down earlier this year for Philip Island and Targa ... if only I'd known!

[fraseda9]

i love that magic V8 roar <3

[namwens1]

that was awesome. thanks for uploading

[prblock]

Possibly the best video I will see ALL year

[bazzagt351]

HOLY HELL that is absolutely hands down 1 of the best videos i have ever watched!!!!!!

[TheMoronProject]

The screech and holler of that V8 is the only commentary I need.

[Shumacher5]

No music? How can the sound of that V8 not be classed as music?!

[throwthekittens]

Poor little white mini @4.20, trapped behind a charger with all it's mirrors full of GT

[NeilK438]

awesome video, I am from the states and a big V8 fan, what kind of car was that anyway?

[vk4987]

the best bathurst video i have seen, other than brockies car in '86. beautiful mate, just beautiful. makes me so proud to be australian.

[TheNood1]

Awesome clip. Thanks

[Goolwa300c]

Aint it wonderful to see so many brands including that "bloody Charger" which I note took quite a bit of effort to pass until the power of the V8 over the six took it out on the straight.

Such a better experience than the two brand taxi race we have now.

And some of these were driven to the track and back home at the end of the day...awesome.

[breadbaker226]

Crap brakes, crap steering, crap suspension, 4 speed gearbox,...and engine which didn't like to rev... but magnificent torque

[mattismyname1]

Better than porn.

[njbscorpio]

awesome

[MrNodrog44]

Those were the days of mixed car races.. today it is Holden Vs Ford.. 2nd Weekend in October each year. the Bathurst 1000km race. ... Awesome Video Chester

[PatrolmanDark]

From the sound of the engine, that car is clearly VERY ANGRY at somebody. :)

[TheScientist0000000]

car rule #34: A hood scoop is an object that shifts with the engine when throttle is abruptly applied or lifted; anything else is just a vent.

[DirectorPaulCMiller]

Very cool!



[ItchyMrBoy]

Race Aims: Lap1 - pass as many cars as possible (26) and try not to lose it when I get held up (only one swear). Lap2 - pass a few more cars (8) including that bloody Charger. Lap3 - pass a few more cars (3) and wave to a mate going up Mountain Straight. Rue poor starting position at the end.

[CUTCAT55]

holy cow, not many video's get me on the edge of my seat with my heart racing but this has done it, that is seriously good racing and awesome driving. think i might go out to the shed and do a bit more on my car. can't wait to be out on the track myself :)

[175myles]

I don't support Ford or Holden, I love the XU1 and the GT-HO but I would sway more towards a XU1 for racing.

[ItchyMrBoy]

Would have easily won if he hadn't started near the back of the field - but then, we wouldn't have seen (or heard) him blast past all in his path.

A throwback to when Bathurst was a great race.

[whirlybirdfilms]

Thank you for posting this. Best 9 minutes I've had since I lost my virginity!

[W3TFART]

@whirlybirdfilms bullshit you never lasted 9 mins more like 9 seconds

[ttunna]

Oh man - thank you so much for not putting music over this clip!!! I think the dictionary online should change their definition of "domination" to simply having a link to this vid... awesome stuff, great driving and what a beast of a machine! Thanks heaps for posting!

[jimnrel]

Power steering??? No Chance!!

You can see why they called it conrod straight..The old Clevo is swinging high numbers

[jimnrel]

Power steering??? No Chance!!

[jimnrel]

Now thats music!!!

[truespyfan]

No Music.... How every car racing clip should be. Who wants to listen to shit hip hop when you can listen to the engine..

Magic 9 mins.. and some of them old cars bring back memories - Go the charger round the outside, the Vaxhall, Hillmans, Cortinas and the mighty GTHO!

Cars from back when racing was about skill, not money...

[fomoco74]

I really felt like I was in the cockpit with the driver... awesome! I was willing him to cane it out of the corners! And those downshifts! pure music!

[fomoco74]

9 minutes of pure magic

[breadbaker226]

So many other driver are shit.....all over the road

[mikecvcc08]

Wish I could drive like this in Los Angeles.. Haha

[alectraproject]

The dash is wrong?

[mr5litre304]

In my mind I was on the horn that whole first lap "outta the way scabs! V8 coming through!" My god, I'm a holden man but this thing is glorious. Music to dream to.

[taqcomau]

I heard music, the wonderful notes of a Clevo at full noise and angry.

[houso10]

love watching your hands on the wheel when you get sideways your good although you got me nervous there when you grabbed 2nd halfway thru griffins on that last lap i thought it was going to go out from under you.i thought the 51 would have had the torque to pull you up there ok.love it love it love it

[nutbag36]

sweet vid, just be cool if you could fix the aspect ratio, add yt:stretch=16:9 to the tags :]

[qldkev]

Totally awesome to watch, wish I could have a lap :)

[Blooness]

Thank you for sharing your laps around Bathurst. I too love Holdens and Peter Brock, and grew up watching the great race, with real drivers, and great cars like this. Must be fantastic to race on this track in these classic aussie cars. I hope your still racing, and loving it.

[strauchy111]

Poetry on wheels.. got a bit bored when you had no more cars to pass. hehe.

had more time to take in the sound of the breast..

Love it.

[cageboyes]

Lovin' the Charger!

[skylinevspec000]

hahaha I just relised my foot was moving with the accelerating and gear changes.. fantastic video 

[boating4x4camping]

Bloody awsome!!

[rexrex010]

Movement. I've had movement....

[kiickinballistics]

Bathurst! What a course! Just listen to the blower wind down on the straight exit. Thanks for this.

[waveman1500]

@kiickinballistics That's the gearbox, the car isn't supercharged. The 'shaker' scoop feeds in to the top of the air cleaner on the GTHO Falcons.

[davesquirrel]

Awesome bit of overtaking at the start of lap 2 with that red TR6...

[Preen59]

Boy that looks like fun. :)

[xXvapourXx]

nothing can possibly be better than the sweet sound of a ford v8 engine :D

[xXvapourXx]

nothing can beet a sweet sound of a ford :D

[Face6ltr]

Thats 351 screaming down conrod is all the music ya need!

[petrolheadsteveo]

Not bad for a ford

[robbandamanda]

yeah no music I FUCKEN LOVE IT .....thank you so much for up loading this....awesome driving and a great vid...1 Holden fan's need's a slap around the ear's...

[rbydder]

@robbandamanda hey hey i watched and i loved!!

[robbandamanda]

yeah no music I FUCKEN LOVE IT .....thank you so much for up loading this....awesome driving and a great vid...

[orloxsis]

9 minutes of 351 heaven.

[maxsenbrady]

awesome video, looks like a handful!

[gizmouk777]

I just have to keep coming back to watch this again and again

[G00BSXD]

lol at the mini at 4:15, probly shitting his pants with all the v8s roaring next to him, was probly vibrating his car to the shithouse!

mean gt!

[BlackDuck67]

This takes me back to Mt.Panorama with all it's thrills and excitement. I first visited here in1955. What memories this classic video brings back for me.

[BlackDuck67]

[solo60]

fantastic.

[JAYDON424]

where do i sign so i can drive it?

[S474N5R3V3R3NC3]

@ 4:14 that mini looks like it can fit in the shaker!

[4stringapocalypso]

this is absolutely incredible! these falcons are amazing machines.and this one is in the right hands.this was heaven to watch.thanks so much for uploading this. great great job of driving! loved it all the way through.this could of been 20 minutes and it still would have gone by to fast.

[abu3arab7610]

he waved to that red car at 6:42 like there is nothin. if i were him id shit in my pants

[khaled6100]

i watch it 9 minutes without getting bored .He's a good driver

[joelizm321]

My XR8 has nothing on this monster.

[dochenry]

@joelizm321 mine neither, this is sex on wheels....

[Faarque]

go the HO

[spikeg79]

This is definitely one of the best racks in the world.

[myRSisfantastic]

In the future when all cars will be electric we will regret a lot this pure symphony for pistons and rods!!!

[Munromad]

That was brilliant. As the owner of an XY GT Replica, I know that these things can be a handful to drive and it really made the skill of the driver evident as he was pushing hard and never got himself out of shape or in trouble. Great driving.

[germanHammy]

Da stellt sich mir die Frage, was hat der Kamerad im Qualifying falsch gemacht ?

Schöne Strecke und tolle Autos dabei, einige, wenn nicht viele sind mir völlig unbekannt.

[80sOldSkool]

TOUGH TOUGH TOUGH!!! Absolute magic and on one of the world's greatest race tracks!!

[379buzz]

Nice freakin car but you gotta admit Matt OWNS this track!

[SuperProfsr]

Bloody awsome car the best ever and Yager performance you guys know how to prepare a race car.......

[xyfutura]

watching that was awesome. i look forward to the day i take my XD out on the track for the first time.

[Dupster1234]

That Charger didn't want you to get past him did he! 5:30 :) "YEAHHH"

[73land1]

@Dupster1234

more to he yellow mini caught in between, he must've been thinking WTF.

[sth892]

KING !!! Finally someone who can steer the gear!,like parramatta rd in peak hr,he deserves a medal for patience.351c that revs like a boss 302,with the wipers lifting of the screen,very serious stuff.your a legend Matt.

[jalc69]

Doing this, is on my bucket list...I watch this clip again and again and it makes me go all tingly

[stevetimmis]

Bit like racing an F111 against a flock of Cessna's, but i enjoyed the ride

[sjme65]

Doesn't get any better! Compare this to the crap they expect us to watch today. NO comparison. Oh and I wonder what happened to the Mini he 'nudged'?

[gmanches3]

Thats what I'm talking about!

[dj17q]

Aaaah, now that is much better. U can actually hear the big mutha fucker 351 at its best!!!!! Flat-chat down Conrod.....thanks for the video.....TOP STUFF!!!!!

[proph3t777]

Awesome video! Great to see a car thats worth so much in a show room actually being used where it was made to be, on the track. Makes me proud to be an Aussie!

[MrAzzr1978]

truely is the greatest production car ever built and the most populuar aswell awesome race who says a 351 cleveland isnt music its the nicest tune you can hear.

[builderhia]

sensational !!!

[pauljkwa]

Did anyone else get that weightless feeling the first time he went over the crest on Conrod? Unreal

[avis289]

@pauljkwa Yep!!! :D

[ruffus1969]

Thank you for posting this vid without the music. 351 was singing.

Mt Panarama just turns the 4's and 6's into Shaker Fodder. The Charger gave it a good try. And I loved that smokey EH/EJ.

[aussienscale]

Even though I am an absolute die hard Holden fan, that is without a doubt the best production car ever made.

[Mercmad]

@aussienscale ha ha ha ha ha rubbish. it was just a falcon with a hot motor. basically a taxi. if Bob jane had been allowed to race the mercedes 6.3 he would shown what was really the fastest car in the world in the late 760's early 1970's and still was right up until recently.. Falcon ? Fastest car in world ??? ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.... only OZ ford fanatics believe that rubbish.

[aussienscale]

@Mercmad Mate your an idiot, where in my comment did I say that you tool ? And I know what you are talking about, and you have your facts wrong, typical of fanboi's that think they know what they are talking about. The Ford Falcon XY GTHO at the time it was made was the world's fastest 4 door production car over the quarter mile. Note that I have stated production car, not race car or any other variant or type of car you may wish to come up with in you no doubt imformative and impressive resply

[whirlybirdfilms]

@Mercmad It was actually proven to be the fastest production car at the time i.e. straight off the assembly line - no mods (and I'm a Holden man).

[TOWIEONLINE]

If he started from poll, he would have won by a lap...

[czr7j9]

the v8 makes better music

bloody hell this bloke is a good driver

[LiamXaoh]

Lucky bastard. Sex on wheels.

[Dootus]

So much for Grandma's charger - get a bit of that in ya haha love it.

[gizmouk777]

Stupid question from me - if I'd watched the end more closely I'd have seen the chequered flag fall with just two cars ahead of him - thanks for the answer though!

[BENDOON23]

only needed one more lap to win

[baconandbread]

Thanks for putting the no music version up. This is so much better. Can't stop watching it.

[mikldude]

almost brings a tear to the eye seeing the xy roaring around the track again, imagine what one of these phase 3`s would do with would do with some modern technology, decent size tyres, fuel injection, 6 speed gearbox, i`ll also say it .............best clip on you tube !!!

[Mendooranite]

Woo hoo!

[uraniumdeath]

Great to see the HO on the inside, maneuvering around the track.

Mind you, I was sitting here thinking, 'Get out of the fucking way' with the slower cars.

[swervforteen]

Awesom vid :) Long live the GT's. ( good to see alot of history out there)

Gotta say you would of won the race hands down had it not been for the vall that kept blocking you..

[TheHoppy666]

Awesome. great cars in that pack, chargers Eh,s HR.Thats a great sounding falcon.

That racing is so much better than the crap on tv know

[palamco99]

Good drive. Baulked by a number of slower cars. Where were the flag marshalls? Did not see any blue flags!

[adamrulezz]

@palamco99 blue flags are for lapped cars not for slow cars

[palamco99]

@adamrulezz I thought that a waved blue indicated a faster car approaching.

[adamrulezz]

@palamco99 it does but only under the circumstance that the car infront is being lapped or is lapped.

[Hoedatwombat]

The best music! sound of a reving Clevo, Awesome!

[zippythewonderkid]

Awesome car and drive. See the wipers lift at the end of Conrod!

[gizmouk777]

Does anyone know what position he finished the race in? He deserved to win after that drive

[mikxr]

i believe he finished third starting from 43 place , a good effort in a great old car.

[gizmouk777]

Thanks! I watched it again (and again....) and at the end of the video the chequered flag comes out, obvious if I'd thought a bit more - he was 3rd... I even have the whole thing on my iPod now

[mikxr]

no worries mate .

[semtex84]

@gizmouk777 41st to 3rd.

[adammic16]

Ive been a Holden man all my life but long live the GT HO Falcon.

[sandieseward]

Who needs music when you can listen to a wonderful engine like this? This is just so good...you feel as though you are actually inside that car with him.

Thank You.

[gizmouk777]

Bloody awesome! No music... double de-clutching, dozens of fabulous cars... THE BEST

[usern4meunkn0wn]

The sound of the engine reving on the down-shifts sends me shivers up my spine.

This video is so awesome.

[baconandbread]

How much better is this vid without music. Spot on

[wpsracing108]

Oh my god.

It feels so good when you clear the slugs.

I'm FREEE!
