    It honestly doesn't matter "which side" you go for, it's a fucken sad time in Australia right now. We are losing two of the greatest cars to ever come out of this country. And we're being left with NONE. No more big rear-wheel drives, no more "SS vs XR8".. we've lost that forever. And it fucking SUCKS. When I was a teenager, it was all about Holdens (still is for me), but I still always held a healthy respect for Falcons (except the AU.. what were they thinking?).. the newest falcons look great. It's a time when we should all stand together and be thankful for all the memories and awesome bogan-ness that these car companies created. It's a part of our culture, and it's almost gone forever. FUCKEN cunts.

    I do not have a preference between the two, but I can say (from my experience driving both cars around a track) that I prefer the powerplant of the S/C 5.0L but the commodore's chassis and suspension feels wayyyy better. Better stock tyres too.

      VelvetSun2 Schuey also WORKED to get where he was (not saying skaife didn't work hard), and you don't make it to F1 (let alone the one holding the majority of the records) without being able to drive.
      Schuey also put Ferrari back on the top, Skaife had the GTRs and then HRT which were major cars/teams in their categories to start with.
      Again, I'm not saying skaife wasn't and isn't a great driver, but in my opinion, he's not a world-class driver.
      Just like Ambrose, Brock, Johnson and Lowndes were/are great drivers in ATCC/V8SC's, but on a global scale, they're all pretty much over-hyped.
      I guess the point I was trying to make was that it's relatively easy to be a big fish in a small pond, but to build up a struggling team in the pinnacle of ultra-competitive Motorsport and put it up the top takes a special sort of awesome.
      I'll admit, I'm not a fan of Skaife, but yes, he can certainly drive extremely well, but I really don't think he was as good as he's cracked up to be.
      I sincerely hope you're not just being the Holden equivalent of what you accused me of ;-) .

    Ford has shut down in Australia Holden is going to as well very soon. It's a sad time where we should be proud of both of these magnificent cars. And yet Wheels Australia chucks a big fat talk about how crap the falcon is. And they were really biased, I personally like Holdens more than Fords, but still, it wasn't a fair fight, to me no one wins coz they are both going out of production. 😭😭

      Highway? Daily? I thought these were supposed to performance cars, cars that can attack a tight mountain road with poise and balance. It seems the car you want is the Calais V8 and G6E Turbos, the luxury model that just happen to have the big engine. The SSV and XR8 are supposed to the sports model, right?

      *so much ignorance from one comment, truly inept you must be* seeing as the 5.2L is heavier and larger than the LT1 your comment exudes ignorance. the LS7 is even lighter than the LS3 despite the displacement. displacement does not equate to engine size or weight. when the LS7 weighs 30% less than the 5.0 and is 30 smaller facts don't agree with your statement.

Most of you guys are idiots, i own both a XR8 Sprint and SSV Motorsport and can tell you that the Sprint is a shit load faster than the stock LS3 and it's some how 5sec slower than the VF2. Hmm something doesn't seem right here, the SSV redline suspension isn't better than the Sprints (the motorsport is, it uses the HSV suspension). Holden driver was clearly a better driver, would've love to seen his lap time in the Sprint.

      The engine isn't completely American, it was based on the American Coyote engine and was developed by Prodrive in Australia for the FG MKII FPV line up, Prodrive was then bought by Premcar. Premcar eventually made a package for the XR8 Sprint, it gave it 483 kW and some other updates, it featured OEM reliability which is what really separated it from other power packages for the XR series. Also the Commodore has an American powertrain...

      @@rabbit73au didnt fail at handling. Struggled with too much power to put down to the tarmac. Lower the power to 320 kw instead of 370 and it would be better balanced

      Luke Sm if you listened he said the Ford was bouncing all over the place he said he was buggered he said he has never fought a car so hard I can say by experience the Holdens handle better than the Fords I have owned both

      U need to watch the video first, they both did rolling start. Let me guess, yr one of these girl's that only has an auto license. You should ring the V8 supercars federation and tell them to run auto's. Haaaa haaaaa haaaaaa

    • @MadDog-wh3vi
      @MadDog-wh3vi 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Anyway it wasn't the gearbox that made the ford so slow, maybe the fact that when he tried to turn that big barge of shit, it went off the road. So maybe worry about yr suspension setup and not yr gearbox. Even jesus himself couldn't have made that ford beat the holden.

    Ford can only win against a Holden in a straight cause of its power, it has more of it have to get ford that. HOWEVER 😂 all that said power is not everything and in the real world the roads are not just straight and racing in Australia has a combination of straight and turns. Holden surpasses ford in all area beside one. Ford is faster by 1 second unfortunately 1 second is no way near enough for victory in a real race. Handling plays a very big factor in the real world of racing. Sorry ford you are not good enough and your interior sucks like a 1990's automobile 😂😂😂.
