Raced a V8 Holden ( Australian car ) with a 350 chev motor supergharged

The car is owned by 1 of the mechanics son's.

We used an old road, 2 lane road which is now closed and it goes for about 1.5 kilometers.

We've marked the road for the quarter mile and I intend to race Rotor Eater (forum member) tomorrow morning.

He get's a 3 second head start.

I won my first one, lost the second one, Due to going from second to fifth, and I won the last one.

I won by about 2 car lenths. I **** on V8's

I think the car could still do better.

We are getting the Holden V8 here as the reincarnated "GTO". It doesn't look too exciting, I wish they would have saved the GTO badge for something a little more signifigant.

No **** aye, just a 2 door commo with a different front end, I laugh at the morons that play in excess of 90K AUD for these POS, altho I think the ones your getting has a fair bit more power than the ones on our market, out of curiosity, how much are you guys paying for them?

Mr Methanol, You would understand. You're from this neck of the woods, it's not the new manaro's, It was a commodore VT 2001 model 5.7L with under bonnet supercharger.

The GTO should make about 300 flywheel HP.

"Mate", I heard about the race you had with mike's holden. I've raced against him and lost the best of three races. I lost 3 and won none. What happened with race 2 ? Couldn't you find third gear anymore, it's staight after second.
