Ford or Holden?????????

[Kersten]

From memory is it not very far from the sourthern entry into Tannum (if it still exists) just on the south side of the Benaraby bridge? Since I left Gladstone, they put a bridge across from Boyne to Tannum, which has now been there for years I know, but that made the southern entry redundant. We left the area in 1981 but have been back a few times to catch up with old school mates and rellies up there...

Is the strip still called the Golding Quarter?

That's the one. They used to call it the Goldings Quarter, I think because Goldings did the earthworks there. But now it's just the Benaraby Raceway. Geez....even if you hadn't given a date I'd know you'd been out of the area for a while by the Boyne/Tannum bridge comment :lol:

A Ford Typhoon will crap all over any holden.
And wait till the new OX2 AKA Orbital engine is released from Ford.
Holden will stand no chance (not that they come even close now lol)

No I am not a ford person, infact I am a long time member of a Commodore club lmao
BUT I am honest enough to admit that Fords crap all over holden. Always have and always will unfortunately. Even now Holdens are chev powered they still have nothing on Ford haha

351 XY GT vs Holden 308 HG-HT Monaro?
2L Escort vs 2L Gemini?
186 Torana vs 250 Cortina?
V6 Capri vs V6 Commodore or Rodeo?

Fords kill it!

Don't get started on V8 supercars:evil::evil::evil:

They're nothing but bolt on panels on purpose built chassis, basically an Australian version of a Nascar. The Holden body had to be shortened to the length of the Ford to keep this parity crap. Ford had to stay with a push rod motor cause Holden (Chev) hasn't yet moved into the 21st century... Neither use their own gearboxes, both use Ford diffs, as mentioned, and even the motors are complete hybrids that only need to be 20% of the original

When the V8's started off they had to start with the actual car body and modify it and, if that is what they went back to, they MAY have some sort of credibility. Give me the all in showroom showdown anyday and may the better REAL car win, a car that we can buy off the floor.

and whats wrong with the old HT monaro?.....old holdens are beautiful ,am not into the new crap i must say they lost their appeal when they started making cars that looked like everything else....70,s and back had style ...and with those type of model everyone knew it was a holden even without seeing the badge...old classic fords are good too ...now its all a mix bag of mistakes ...no stand out designs..so now i have a classic EH getting restored (by hubby) and I drive a 4wd mitzy pajero....nothing like seeing an old holden shaggin wagon screaming down the highway with "dont bother knockin if you see this car rockin" sticker on it ....or "YES I know where your daughter is"

I suggest we bring back the mixed clas racing just to shake things up a bit more, then maybe us aussies might build better race cars instead of racing 2 inferior products.

Currently it's so boring watching nearly identical cars running around together, they use nearly the exact drive train

They couldnt hack it with the R32 GTR's been quicker so they even made them carry ballast weight and where still untouchable then finaly they where banned (im assuming race officials realised Australia couldnt match the technology from Japan

watch this for an example of the GTR domination
