DAm that's big
I like that system to.

But how many fords and holdens are out there??

[ruim20]

Marcus is the one with the factory Holden? i don´t get V8SC any more The morons that run my cable took it off the list of channels!

[Spastik_Roach]

Ooh Yeah, Ooh Yeah, Go Ambrose, Go Ambrose!

[SlickHolden]

Marcus is the one with the factory Holden? i don´t get V8SC any more The morons that run my cable took it off the list of channels!

No mate he drives a Ford He is with Stone brother racing SBR
if he drove a Holden they would be adding 100kg to his car to slow him down by now

[fpv_gtho]

the factory holden team, Holden Racing Team, run Mark Skaife and Todd Kelly. the factory ford team had craig lowndesand glenn seton this year. as slick pointed out, marcos ambrose drives for stone brothers racing

[ruim20]

Thanks guys, i miss seeying V8SC! i loved that and Aus GT!!! Dammit!

[fpv_gtho]

you wouldve loved the last race, definately finishing the season in style, all 3 of the races for that round, Ambrose was leading by about 20 seconds. we havent seen anything like that since the start of 2003 when everyone had their new cars and were trying to find speed from them, Ambrose's car was straight out of the box

[SlickHolden]

That's the best way they come sharper just like knife's

[fpv_gtho]

well its a bit of luck really that any interchangeable things fitted to the cars in the build are actually what'll make it fastest, like at the rounds the team can play around with different brake pads and rotors, different shocks and springs and different roll bars, but i guess theres some things that can only be done back at the factory to get speed

[SlickHolden]

It's like keno if the numbers come up your in buss
My brother herd about this V8 race days at calder, For $200 you can drive the real things V8 supercars around. He gave me the look to i know he wants to go
But you have a co driver and knowing my brother he won't listen much

[fpv_gtho]

it'd probably be like old EL's and VS's etc, someones made a big business out of it and its just like the 6 year old cars and everything, so theyre the same yet different to the current cars, just depends how you look at it i suppose. bit more power from something here, bit less power from something there

[SlickHolden]

I would love to give him a race, But i would think he would be a couple of seconds faster per lap then me Seeing how is always sideways changing from first to second to third now

[fpv_gtho]

well that might be carelessness, showing off, or trying to improve his driving skill by doing all of the above

but its worth a shot, even to just get the adrenalin running.

[SlickHolden]

He does it on purpose, He knows popping that clutch gets it wheel spinning easy on gear change, But remember how i showed you that BA Fairmont ghia he was wanting to buy, How bout this he tells me he is going Sunday finally to see if they will do a trade-in, He calls me today about 4 and says hey bro i have just got a BA 2004 17,000k XR6 For $31.000 I'm like What's happen to the BA Ghia?.
I seen it and i liked it, So all he is waiting on now is the loan approval and it's his, He will let me know Tuesday. He has keeped the BA XR 18" rims to stick on it. And his old baby is gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooone
