      By uneducated idiots.
      GM is the only wise car designers.
      Muscle cars must sit high up cause they use height to turn faster.
      The engine is tuned to work with the high stance.
      Lower the car and you've stuffed the performance.
      If you want a low car, you don't buy muscle cars.
      You want a sports car. Go buy corvette.

      Clearly this guy DOESN'T understand front mounted engine cars and SHOULD HAVE the appropriate rear mounted engine car instead.
      He should stay away from all things torana.
      This young idiot is going to drive straight off the road instead of turning for a corner and he'll kill himself and the car.

      Its not outstanding.
      Front mounted engine cars must have a high center of gravity and narrow rear tyres.
      If you do the opposite, your car won't turn around corners.

    Absolutely stunning. Love the stance with the Simmons V5's. Used to see Torana's like that a lot around Penrith when I was kid in the 80's and 90's, just never that clean. Such a beautiful car and his R32 looks pretty awesome too.

      So, its just another torana sold to an idiot who de-tuned the poor old thing, then smashes it.

    Muscle cars have a high stance with a fast revving engine and fast gearing.
    Sports cars are LOWERED with a slower revving engine and slower gearing.
    If you Lower a muscle car , you MUST also change the engine and gearing and the suspension and tyres and lengthen the wheelbase to perform at the Lower height.
    So just forget about toranas and buy the appropriate car for the driving performance you want to do. Clearly you actually want a rear mounted engine corvette.
    Its just stupid you playing around with these tired old front mounted engine designs.
    You shouldn't be anywhere near these torana things.
