I think it sounds great & turns some pretty high Rrrr's
It does need improvement on hooking up though.
I am not familar w/that Falcon, how small of a car is it, about the same size as an Opala from Brazil?

The speed is not in MPH. Kilometers per hour. Either way it is still fast. He has a hard time controlling it.

160 kph = 100 mph, so it's still pretty darn quick.

I am probably wrong. Australia converted to metric system from 1970-1988. The dragtimes list a 60' and 1/4 mile.
Still that car is rockin.

yes-its a holden-gm product in oz(mid'80's)that was released with a 3 litre(180 cu in?)nissan inline 6(as well as a turbo version)a real favorite with the boy racers as they were very fast from the factory.starting to become a bit of a collectors item now.
australia did convert to metric in the early '70's,but us oldies(i'm 52)still talk and think in imperial for some and metric for others!)we tend to confuse the younger ones a lot!

I am a GM guy, but this Ford Mustang looks like a cool build.

Which engine is that, the 4L I6 they had (have?)? Interesting vid, almost looks like the grill is flexing fore and aft in the grill opening as the load is applied.  Too bad he couldn't find a large enough turbo. 
My, what a steep learning curve. Erik II#5155

Gotta love those Aussie's. They'll turbo anything!
They have some cool rides too. I don't know why Ford and GM build different cars for different markets. It seems as though they leave us Americans with watered down versions of what they've been building elsewhere.

Wow that is so cool. I love the fact that it is a 4-door and he shaved the rear door handles. Aussies and Kiwis are much more amenable to turning more-doors into race cars than us more tunnel-visioned Yanks. Why can't fast cars have 4 doors?
