Default Re: Unique Cars Win a Torana GTR XU-1

For me owning that XU-1 wouldn't be a problem at all. In there day they were very qiuck and nimble too. The GT's had the outright speed but the toranas made up time over the top and down through forest elbow. Just like today it was about tactics. Regardless of which brand you supported you have to admire the drivers of that era. 6 or 7 inches of rubber a ****y rollcage (by todays standards) and factory brakes, all at 10/10ths. on tracks that had little or no margin for error. Those blokes had balls, and there is no way these cars should be compared to the modern day.
Another reason i'd love to own it I could do 90% of the servicicing myself the other 10% having the triples tuned every couple of months LOL
