ahhh that brings me back to the good old days, when cars were tuff, not plastic rice burners like today

@Alpin3SS you're comparing a car from last year, to a car from 40 years ago? get out mate, go watch a drifting video or something.

[MrSelector1]

its old cars like the Aussie designed falcon that helped to bring about cars that the rest of the world manufactures today! so if you are a gtr lover think about how Australia invented alot of the technology found in cars we drive today and japan just learnt from us

[MrSelector1]

why compare new gtr with a 40 year old gt ? its two completely different eras.. maybe in a straight line a phase 3 gtho would flogg a gtr... But the ford AUSTRALIA in 2003 invented the turbo "4'0L" 6 to beat the "2.0L" jap crap and the GTHO phase three can still beat the new falcon turbo six.. so what i am trying to say is the gtr is a different you tube video...

@Alpin3SS What are you doing watching this if you don't like old cars, ass wipe? Don't you have your boyfriends ass to fill?

[Alpin3SS]

pfft..you cunts are fucked! your trying to compare an old rust bucket falcon GT to a piece of technological advance in the Nissan GTR? BAHAHA! yeah capable of 270km and what happens when you turn the wheel the slightest? you go into a pole...real cool :)

Go sink a VB fkn bogans..stick with your old V8's...youse need to understand real cars..not some locally made piece of shit! Besides..if you really wanna get into the REAL V8 trend..go buy a MERC AMG! now thats a fucken real 'tuff' car.faggots

XA GT-HO = XA GT RPO 83 which was capable of 270 km in the mid 70's.

Look at 4:00 in the vid mate, Might not be 300kn?h but with a wooden fence and no harnesses or rollcage. Ah, you might not try racing on a track like that with a faster car, why compare different era's?

They obviously had guts to crash like that and walk away.

I'm yet to see a Zyrtec boy racer, walk away from a crash like that on the streets of australia.

Wait a minute, that race is held on the street's of australia. Oh and He survived.
