My family's business was specialised shock absorber and suspension components, which we hand built on site in Australia. We rebuilt and reinforced factory front subframes, diff supports, control arms, bolt in or hidden weld in in bracing, custom anything really.

Iam a ford fan threw & threw but gotta say that the Holden proper floats my boat its more sleeper than the mustang. Aint even watched the vid yet but "come on ford" (quiet whisper loving the Holden).😎😎👊👊👍👍👌👌✌✌
Being an Aussie, I'm gonna have to say I was all in for the Holden GTS R8. Too bad Holden folded and shutdown all car manufacturing in October 2017. The value of these cars is sky rocketing right now. Australia's answer to the renowned Toyota 2JZ was the fully Australian designed and made Ford Turbo Barra engine fitted to the locally designed Ford Falcon. Unfortunately, Ford Australia closed down also in October 2016. If the OG gang want to see an epic battle of Japan v Australia, then you really want to see a Supra or Lexus v Falcon XR6 Turbo challenge. Surely, someone in the UK has a turbo Barra. Heck, Adam LZ pulled the V8 out of his GT350 Mustang and put in a built turbo Barra in its place. Thanks so much for the upload. 🇦🇺💪
@burgerbandit3646 thats right but it would have been cheaper to replace the original V8. Those who know go Barra. That's why he went for an imported "green top" from Australia.
@mrcaps1971 no offense but you're overrating the Barra engine. It's a fantastic engine but folks aren't crosshopping it with the GT350's motor. Adam most likely wanted a unique build or had the engine readily available to him.
@@Kombat_Wombat love Holden, love the history, the races etc. Strange enough, the LS they use in the R8 is American but I believe its built in Mexico.............just to mix it up a bit lol. Back in the 90's I always wanted a Commador with a nice big whipple bolted on there, mad max style lol.
That's because its GM you knuckle heads 😂 why would holden(GMH) make a new v8 when gm already has a perfect one waiting, holden is a GM subsidiarie based in Australia, so yeh its gonna use gm parts lmao.
I'm a Mustang Man in Australia but I gotta tell you That Commodore was pretty good The only reason he got done in the roll races was because of his reaction time When it got to a level playing field from stop start drag The Commodore Driver took over Yep A bit of Driver and a Bit of Car It goes to say a lot about Torque vs Horsepower None the less Great comparison Cheers from Down Under
Ahh should've gotten the Ford Falcon Xr6T or FPV F6 to represent the Aussies, i reckon the tuned straight 6 would've walked the Mustang. Also the Barra is more aussie than that LS 😅

Should see some of the commys we have in Australia. I know someone running a 10.4 1/4 in a ve ss with a supercharged iron block dart with a harrop 2650i making just over 1000hp.
I own a manual LSA clubby with a harrop 570 kit with few extra’s lid spacer fuel pump and water reservoir. This hsv ain’t running 100% seems slow to hit redline. That said…what a car considering it started life as a 6 cyl family car.

Should see some of the commys we have in Australia. I know someone running a 10.4 1/4 in a ve ss with a supercharged iron block dart with a harrop 2650i making just over 1000hp.
Yeah I run 10.8 with 690 in xr8 supercharge
He recently ran a 9.2 and let off at the end. He was on a break in tune at the time of the 10.4 and was on 7 psi on the 2650i.
@@paulodonnell7501 a 10 second is a respectable time mate.
I own a manual LSA clubby with a harrop 570 kit with few extra’s lid spacer fuel pump and water reservoir. This hsv ain’t running 100% seems slow to hit redline. That said…what a car considering it started life as a 6 cyl family car.
Having owned both cars (2017 Commodore SS 6.2 LS3 and presently 2023 Mustang 5.0 Auto California Special), the times would have been closer had both been auto.
And R888 tyres….
That Holden blew my eardrums out 🤣 had my earphones in lol big mistake 💯😂
The Holden HSV sound nice😎😎👍👌👍
American muscle hands down!!!
Love my Holdens but that stangs wild 😈
The sounds are monstrous 😮
Marc is a top lad, met him at Petrolheadonism recently and was taking pictures of the car - he started it up and the entire bloody car was shaking from the cam chop 🤣
Love the variety! ❤
This is as awesome as it gets 🎉🔥🔥
Love the R8
The Commodore should also have put a bigger stall converter in making a big difference.
💪💪💪 UP THE GTS 🔥🔥
Always Holden for life mate
Holden driver is very chill dude
Love the Holden I own a 2015 VF SS Australia mussel all day❤
I like to see the blue sti in the background vs the American muscles mustang 🔥🔥
11:15, no bro, you didn't give him the race, with the way he had you off the line, you would have never caught him anyway 🤣🤣
I think you need a Australian driving it lol 😂
Sunday, coffee, cighie and OG=WIN 🎉😅
The R8 GTS is bloody beautiful.
Easy W for Australia and the Commy
I have an older Holden v8 , I like the newer ones but I’d take the stang on looks and the fact it’s a manual
the older Holden V8 was in actual fact an "Aussie V8" ,, this one is American powered.
