You really have an issue with people in that age group hey HeadWax?

Not only this thread but other threads as well.

Keep on topic dickhead or get some help!

Anyway the GTHO phase 3 is probably one of the best cars to come off Australian production lines ever!

My brother in-law just sold his Brock Commodore for a fraction of that price and it was in mint condition.

I bet LoyToy worked on a few of those cars when he was in Australia as a car mechanic,

hot-wiring them and stealing them for parts of course

got to give it to the British for designing the best looking cars,

sadly no more,

same same with Italians,

looks like the French are taking over in terms of car design

the french are designing some nice looking cars these days, however the test of a good design is how it will look 15 or 20 years on, and sadly, most french cars will look tired and old fashioned when viewed after 15 years.

only the citroen ds from the late 50's passes that test and i feel that none of todays french cars will attain classic design status.

Umm. No they are not.

In terms of performance though, Peugeot 406s seem to have featured in a few French Gangster movies, for a good reason. I once got taken for a spin in a V6 version and it had truly frightening acceleration and flat cornering. Made the Mitsubishi Magna V6 I had at the time look quite pathetic.....though I must admit the Magna's suspension and handling was really nimble compared to my current Holden Commodore V6.

Go fuck yourself cvnt-hat, show me where I've posted any problems towards people who are in my own age group anywhere on this forum. You can't, because you're a lieing cvnt-hat.

Also, I'd know 10 times as much as you about Muscle cars from both sides of the pond. Stick to your 2000 people orphan events LC.

Umm. No they are not.

what have the americans ever taught the europeans about car design, other than lumbering, laughable and large?

Errrrr, this thread is about muscle cars. You know, 300hp minimum with lots of cubes. Not fucking FWD shitbox's with twin carbs and headers on an 1100cc engine that wouldn't pull a sailor off your sister....

ere we go.

all mouth and trouses.

cars are about handling and enjoyment, and the mini cooper s was one of the best.

your bloated and obscene chest wig chariots are, like their owners laughable inbred throwbacks.

YOU KNOW YOU HAVE YOU FAT FUCKING CVNT! Check out the thread at the Boxing Roo you fucking hypocrite.

Anyway fuck off you tool!

Don’t listen to taxi he has no clue what he’s talking about. He’s just reached a point in his existence where he can only derive even a semblance of pleasure by imagining others to be more miserable than himself.

He doesn’t even own a classic car.

I had an A9X Torana and it was an awesome vehicle. Power to weight ratio was brilliant and handled like a dream.

Also had an XU1 Torana that was a superb car but lacked space and the gear box always screwed up. And it was an Australian gear box deemed one of the best ever!

By up to 4 Expat mechanics as a wild guess? .

Assuming you're not lieing - again - an XU1 would have had an M21 in it which were never rated highly. Ford guys running top-loaders with twin plate clutches and 9 inch diffs behind them never had to worry.

This XA just came up on a local Facebook group. 75,000 Baht with a Nissan diesel. It's in a pretty bad state though.

Ouch!. It wouldn't be a project to get that car back up to scratch, it'd be a lifelong journey.

Thinking about the list of Aussie cars I've seen here, I completely forgot a most memorable occasion of chatting with a Thai guy in Phuket once who had a concourse condition & fully original HR. White in colour, red interior, 3 on the tree, and a 186 that you could have eaten your lunch off the rocker cover. I asked him what the hell he was doing with one of them, and he proudly said he had owned a few of them when he lived in NZ!.

Another 4 cylinder shitbox vs fastest 4 door production sedan in the world at that time (a record it held for many years, only beaten by the first Italian or German 4 door supercar from memory).

Total Mk4 Cortina shitboxes built?. About 10 million, or more, or less, who gives a fuck. Total Phase III GTHO's estimated to exist today?. 100, maybe. Big difference, which is why a good Cortina Mk 4 is worth about $3.50...

There was a 6 cyl Mk3 Cortina produced and sold in Aust, NZ and SA I think, TE or something like that with a 4.2 ltr.

Point taken though. Those are quite sort after these days but nowhere near even the neighborhood of something like a GTHO.

^There was indeed a Cortina with a 4.1 (250ci) engine in it in Australia, a friends Mother had one. Surprisingly, it was borderline gutless considering that's a decent sized donk in a medium/small car. Maybe they tuned them down for the Cortina, because it was the same engine they were fitting in Falcons and they went ok (for a family car).
