Who likes Aussie V8s ?

Slow as all f*ck, makes a lot of noise. A similarly set up Corolla would kick it's arse. That's why nobody uses Commodores for rally cars. Not suited to the task. And I own a SS V Sportswagon, so I'm not anti V8 or Holden.

LOL :-)
All Aussie V8 is the best sounding V8 bar none.
You were until you got one.
Yes the 5 litre sounded best, but unfortunately the power/weight ratio was not so impressive
It was pretty good in the Formula 5000 format!
I grew up over the road from a F5000 car, the sound of it being tuned was glorious!
Cheers, Gary B-)
Waiting for a new signature to suggest itself...
Yeah. That's why Commodores were such an in demand platform for rallys.
I always thought Clevos generally sounded better.
========================
** Whether a Commodore makes an outright good rally car is utterly irreleva nt.Car racing is all about classes with many rules and restrictions - the even t allowed V8 sedans with rear well drive to compete and that is what you see.
Besides the wonderful noise, the fearless young Aussie at the wheel is driv ing that arse of that thing.

You mean that there is a d*****ad behind the wheel?
LOL. Yeah, OK.
Certainly. I'm only talking about the noise it made, everything else was rather disappointing.
Not a chance.
Yep. Apparently that fact is lost on the dick with two heads but no brain.
Seems to be doing OK, putting on a show and sounds good doing it.
Hey Moron Why did you post this here instead of aus.cars?

** Reasons:
- This place needed cheering up.
- Discover who the Aussies here are.
- Car NGs are full of loopy petrol heads.

Shrug, just another parasitic growth. Keep reading your biology or do you support the rights of all parasites to exist and grow?
