TongueYaBum how is that poorly driven? They’re racing on public rural roads and residential streets, not perfectly prepped circuits. Pretty impressive I thought
Sadly from 2030 on all combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Now they even want to slow down all the gas pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime. "Bundesabgasbespaßungsverbot" in German. :-////(
Having owned a v8 hq ,many thumbs up to the suspension guys, the noise and black lines are impressive but only people who drove those things stock will know the miracles that car is performing on corner entry!. Bravo gentlemen!.
Absolutely LOVE IT what a cool looking Monaro & it goes hard, driven hard. This kind of event is so cool & a wonderful way to see high performance mock ups from a great era in Australian automotive history, being pushed a little looking & sounding fantastic. This high performance car driving makes sense, a lot more than doing "skids" on a "burnout pad" or "power cruise" till their tyres pop & thinking their great. Love the Targa & Adelaide Classic events, so good we have them.
You are so right eweryboddy can burn tires ? bot only a fru car drive a car like this this car whirly have some pouder undeer the hood just keep on gooing and kip the pedal to the metal
I love watching the big Aussie muscle cars that were so common (and cheap) when I was a kid absolutely caning it. Look at the way that HQ squats a little when he nails it! Awesome
Holy crap, talk about drive it like you stole it............. wow. The most beautiful sounding v8 I have heard in ages and driven with attitude to boot. Awesome stuff.
That's exactly how I drive my lsa supercharged nova every chance I get....problem is in the s.f. Bay area there are just too many cars on the road so I usually can't drive like a jackass till afterhours, then I gotta be on high alert for the fuzz..... I really need to cash out and move from this cesspool
It honestly sucks knowing that by the time I am old enough and financially stable enough, that finding a Monaro for a project car will be near impossible. Will always LOVE the sound and looks of these cars and many other V8 Holdens. Wish a company would design more cars to look like this again, even with following the V4/6 turbo trend for fuel efficiency.
Nope. 🤦🏼♂️ He is _not_ mashing the pedal, because he _does_ give a fuck. He was showing good/great throttle control. That's the main reason why he was so fast. If he was a dopey meat-head, just mashing the pedal and getting off to squeally tyre noises, that Q would've been going backwards off the bitumen, at almost every bend.
Bought my first HQ GTS when I was 18 for $5,000. Sold it as wreck 4 years later (I tore out the entire front end crossing a creek line). Bought my second HQ GTS when I was 26 for $3,500. Sold it for $2,800 6 years later. My 3 growing kids had trouble getting in & out of the back seat.... I have just turned 61 and I still dream of number 3. But at around $100,000, I will have to win Lotto first...
cut my teeth in a hq not the crazy power of this beast tho.... they handled well even back in the day .. held it sideways easy round the streets of south eastern boring suburbs of melbs way before people gave a shit if you were a hoon
They really didn't. I think you are looking back with rose tinted glasses. They understeered and rolled horribly. Only rectified in the HZ. Which means none of the coupes ever handled without major work, or without slotting a HZ subframe under it.
Agreed 'watsisbuttondo829' . I owned a HQ coupe back in 1982 . My Dad built engines and had a 308 ci L34 spec motor under a workbench sitting idle . We built it up and slipped it in , did the usual suspension upgrades ( this is 1982 ) and it was awesome . However , after pushing it to the ton two or three times in a row with the brake fade would set in . I was such a clown ! Steve and Racheal have realised my dream , your car is amazing and your skill set pushing it is obvious . By the way , is that an Aurora engine your running ?
Came across this link after watching the daily highlights of the 2021Targa. That HQ Monaro is superb-looking and sounding car, and it's beyond me how he can throw that beast around those roads. The introduction of the HQ was an exciting time in Oz automotive history. Just compare its design with what came immediately before!
it corners lke my old 350 4dr, Flat! it had selby suspension kit back in late80's, a HQ racer drove my GTS350 said it handled s good as his race car, it was a lot of fun on a wet road lol
We're those look at me tires or were those race tires? Because those didn't look like they had the grip of race tires? 🤷 It looks like he threw some off the shelf 22-in rims on it with some low profile tires is what it looks like. If I had that kind of grip with tires, I think I would have pulled off during hot laps and traded them in. 🚶🏼♀️🚪🤦 Not enough flex I think caused it to lose traction way too often. I'd say also compound but I don't think it'd matter what kind of compound you had in those. It would have been like driving around the track with solid rubber. That first Rev sounds like the beginning of a Ted Nugent song at :00 th-cam.com/video/OAXrgxSwACA/w-d-xo.html I can name that car in one rev....
HQ Monaro's always look Best in Orange. Looks and Sounds Really Nice. Obviously Highly Modified, otherwise it would've Ploughed into the kerb on the first corner. Pretty snappy gear changes so it's got a nice box in it. Responds well to a Kick in the Guts, and he drives it well. Good Show.
Yeah, that'd be it. Good Old RTS. There isn't a Car on The Road that shouldn't be using it! Yeah, I know, that was the Leyland Brothers with Caltex CX3? But just as much Bullshit. ;-)
What about this....."Zoom With The Power Release, Go Golden Fleece Active 8!" You gotta be getting on to remember that one! Well, I think that's right, I was just a Boy.
good to watch. sounds great. very poor tyre management. targa tas.. you dont get a new set of tyres every day.. still, keep posting good vids like this, thumbs up every time!
We must now find out how fast this car will go around our track, which obviously means handing it over to our team racing drive. Some say that the last time he was with a girl he shaved her head.. and that he's dog's name starts with j.

@@shorterthentyler45 there's always one.
Nice driving 👍
Angry 8😠 Sounds Great😈👍.
I am the Night Rider, a fuel injected suicide machine, I am a rocker, I am a roller..........I am an outta controla
Nice Box aswel.
This probably one of the few videos were is see an old car getting driven right
What is the name of this section of the race?

Long live high revving, naturally aspirated engines
i believe that may be supercharged. that whine is RPM dependent and seems too high pitched to be gear white from a straight lace gearbox
Agreed!
@@ghomerhust its a N/A SBC all the way
This sounds never gets old unless your a ev owners in that case this is probably hell for them lol
@@ghomerhust probably just has a ribbed gilmer belt drive, they make a noise similar to a supercharger.
Having owned a v8 hq ,many thumbs up to the suspension guys, the noise and black lines are impressive but only people who drove those things stock will know the miracles that car is performing on corner entry!. Bravo gentlemen!.
Ha. As an ex q owner myself the stock comparison would be... Interesting 😁
What about all that "radial tuned suspension"? LOL
@@slowlearner984 That came with the HZ in '77. It was revolutionary for Holden.
Stock version . Turning the wheel is ONLY a Suggestion . May get ignored .
Their all coil and light, lots of stuff can be done to make them very potent handlers
One of the most beautiful cars ever made
that aint no hq suspension. that steering ratio and direct response is a credit to whoever built that thing. looks like a very well set up machine.
Having own a few i was thinking the same
Yeah no way my old mans doesn't handle like that at all :D
There not hard to get handling good being all coil and a simple steering box
Yeah, none of my HQ/J's handled like that. Would love to know the setup underneath.
adjust the nut on the steering box to make it point is easy and yeah it's bouncy and oversteer like all the rest
Probably the most watchable of all motorsport events. Great old classics, muscle cars, supercars and tuners ripping around public roads. Brilliant
Absolutely LOVE IT what a cool looking Monaro & it goes hard, driven hard.

When i have a shit day, one of many things that put a smile on my face is watching this beast roar!! seen it a few times now :)
Have you tried watching with earbuds .
@@chrismckell5353 don't like shit in my ear. I have a set of Bose headphones that rock the tits off for sound, 💪
I love watching the big Aussie muscle cars that were so common (and cheap) when I was a kid absolutely caning it. Look at the way that HQ squats a little when he nails it! Awesome
Plenty of mumbo and the driver has huge stones.Seriously cool.The Knight Rider would be proud
That thing just wants to bag up everywhere
wow angry hq well driven too
The sweet roar of a V8 in the times of soulless turbo sewing machines ! Good driving ! 😎👍
If you think turbos are soulless you should get a load of electric cars.
So a ‘97 turbo Supra and late 80s Grand Nationals are soulless. 🤦🏽♂️
f**king awesome let that lion roar. and long live the king. used to own one of these and still regret selling it. love your work
There is NO lion roaring in this.
Holy crap, talk about drive it like you stole it............. wow. The most beautiful sounding v8 I have heard in ages and driven with attitude to boot. Awesome stuff.
Music to every Aussies ear, the sweet sweet melody of a classic Holden.
The Chev badge is a crime.
yeah, screw us muscle cars
*Taxpayers Money*
Eh, Tomato Tomata.
350 Chev engine
I'm guessing a 383 stroker.
Imagine how “unexciting” these races would be, with these abominable “electric cars”…😩🤨😬
It looks like a Camaro with monza back clip and mustang front clip. It's beautiful I need one.
The HQ Monaco is a Holden-only design. This GTS & the Torana from this era are two of the best muscle cars ever made.
@@jkmsaturn I reckon the HK, HG and HT’s were the best looking holdens ever made fullstop
Fuckn awesome
That's exactly how I drive my lsa supercharged nova every chance I get....problem is in the s.f.

Steve knows how to wheel this beauty...he has already crashed it once..
im a ford man through and through, but this is brilliant!
I think the cops are about 200 km behind it
Geez I love that thing! Angry, miraculously accurate and gloriously musical.

Dream car. Sadly I'll never own one unless I move to Australia.

that's a pity........ price as gone so high
my favourite Targa clip of all. Not afraid to put the boot in.
I agree.
the Chevy Bowtie gives away what's powering it, so to speak the DNA-code.
cut my teeth in a hq not the crazy power of this beast tho.... they handled well even back in the day .. held it sideways easy round the streets of south eastern boring suburbs of melbs way before people gave a shit if you were a hoon
They really didn't. I think you are looking back with rose tinted glasses. They understeered and rolled horribly. Only rectified in the HZ. Which means none of the coupes ever handled without major work, or without slotting a HZ subframe under it.
Tough car, driven the way it should be!!
Gee I'm going to miss the internal combustion engine. Loved watching this, thank you.
That looks and sounds SUPERB

By the way , is that an Aurora engine your running ?
I drove a Monaro only once in my life. I was 16 years old at the time, and that short trip has stayed with me forever since!
So.... Umm... Tell me... Tyres? What's the, umm, K's duration? Methinks must be sponsored well?
On iracing you go much faster if you keep it clean, rather than spinning the wheels. He'd go quicker if he played that.
my favourite competition Holden over the last 10 years 😀😀
Impossible not to love an old Q
That has got to be some sort of Resto-mod??? Being driven by an absolute legend.
Still the most iconic aussie muscle car (of course having owned one I be a tad bias 😁)

Australian Camaro with a hint of fourth gen Nova thrown in. I dig it!
Is this a 253 or 308
Watched this 5 times and I feel better now...a few more and I'll start misbehaving like a 20 year old!
it corners lke my old 350 4dr, Flat! it had selby suspension kit back in late80's, a HQ racer drove my GTS350 said it handled s good as his race car, it was a lot of fun on a wet road lol
I hear something whistling up under the hood that's naturally aspirated it sure is sucking a lot of air
Best looking and sounding Monaro i have ever seen. Sound like a super car.
i had a worked le monaro back in 1980 not as quick as this one great footage
Now that's what I call an f .in angry monaro!!😂😂😂😂
Awesome car except this bloke put a bloody chev badge on it
I enjoyed that throwing her around looking good ta
That looks so fun to drive
can drive
The power of a holden, the agility of a WRX
Looks ☑️ sounds ☑️ skids ☑️ video liked☑️
When Tony Abbott comes from the back of the pack to win this election he should knight Steve Coad. Arise Sir Steve!
I had one many years ago and still at any angle it looks sweet
Faaarrrkkkin MENTAL LOVE IT
I AM the nightRIDER!!!
What a weapon! No wonder why it was the crowd favourite absolutely love a neat hq
don't worry about putting the falcon back on the road Eric.....i think the position has been taken
I wonder if it’s a Chevy motor?
Fantastic video! I wish I'll be capable of doing this on Assetto Corsa :D
Nothing like home grown Aussie Muscle Car
Why have I watched this video like 20 times 😂
That thing lays some liquorice straps.
Singing the songs of our people.
Kinda looks like two sixty’s Camaro and Mustang has a baby.
That's what I thought. Throw in a little 2nd Gen Camaro and this is it
We're those look at me tires or were those race tires?

I can name that car in one rev....
I would like to see Ken Block drive that car.
fuck it's got some punch.
Engine size? manual.
Awesome sound !!
I got goosebumps just listening to that gorgeous engine !!
😁
I'm not a car person really, but watching this makes me feel Aussie as fuck. Gone are the days of classic Aussie manufacturing :(
Is this 308, it sounds amazing?
I WANT ONE.🙉🏁

A Qee that doesn't understeer? Easy answer, it had the high-tech HZ RTS front suspension assy installed. :-)
Yeah, that'd be it. Good Old RTS. There isn't a Car on The Road that shouldn't be using it! Yeah, I know, that was the Leyland Brothers with Caltex CX3? But just as much Bullshit. ;-)
I'm guessing it also had 'A Tiger In It's Tank'? We'd better stop, showing our ages here. :-)
What about this....."Zoom With The Power Release, Go Golden Fleece Active 8!" You gotta be getting on to remember that one! Well, I think that's right, I was just a Boy.
You've trumped me with that one Adrian. My memories start with 'The Tiger In The Tank' & the Amoco 'Final Filter'.
Great car wish i had it
ONE ANGRY SWEET MONARO !!!! LOVE IT !!!
One of the best songs of 2016
Put a 4 door gts mock up into round about 180 kmh turn sharp left and ride the lightning
Call me old fashion but modern day cars cannot be driven in this manor, old cars like these were meant to be driven like this.
The guy can't drive though. Wrong line through the corners. Fishtailing....
IWrocker...one for you buddy
good to watch. sounds great. very poor tyre management. targa tas.. you dont get a new set of tyres every day.. still, keep posting good vids like this, thumbs up every time!
