The 69 Mustang has got him in the HP stakes just pulls away on Conrod and mountain straight

Plant it

Mumbo!!!

Absolute credit to Mark from yager performance Alstonville. That is one sweet Cleveland

how does a 70's valiant pacer hold off phase 3 gtho???

Listen to it rev out as he goes over hills,pushing it to the limit,moffit style

Not sure what the 'Stang' was Boss or a Mach one' it had the the longer legs though' thinking in the 70s those giys were racining on Killer crossplys nascar were running on 12inch slicks ...

Love to see the Pacer driver have a go in the GT.

Wow, that mustang could sure put some distance between them down conrod. The sound of these beasts are amazing.

Charger vs XY beautiful to watch, well driven fullas

Was that a reverse start grid?

What we need.....is a driver.... that puts his foot flat to the floor..... and doesn't change gears

Foot to the floor....

Literally, on the edge of my seat! The rear cam views add an extra level of of excitement and chase! Timing of the red flag safety car, I literally yelled Nooooo! I'm saving this video in my favourites archive & sharing!

too slow

That Mustang just pulls away....

By the end of this video I forgot there were more then two cars. I had to watch it again. Best 27 minutes of the Millennium I have used.

Well done Sir. My compliments on being willing to show the occasional "woopsie" as well as all the "yay" moments. Even the elite professional drivers make them occasionally.. And XYs are not exactly the lightest of cars to be throwing around.

Thank you Clinton. Your skill leaves me for dead, and the HO left my old 250 XY Fairmont wagon even further behind. It handled like an aircraft carrier and needed leg muscles like bulldozers to stop the old girl when she was running fast (comparatively). Oh, the memories.

I could watch these beautiful grand ladies all day long, the music these engines put out is unfortunately a thing of the past. Those Ford gtho are worth BIG dollars last one sold a few months ago for 1.5 million.

Awesome video of a great car - but how about the old Chargers acceleration, I see it but I don't believe it! hehe

Beautiful driving, beautiful car, well done Sir. Long live the XY.

Could watch these oldies slicing around the track all day long , and such a beautiful sound track ;) . i Just cant get interested in the clinical boring bathurst these days with modern cars no matter how much they try to sensationalize it .

Poor old HQ broke something important. You can see the falcon slip on the entrails coming out of the cutting on the next lap.

What a handful, especially over the top of the mountain.

This guy is as one with his car and in tune with it - well done!!! GTHOs are bloody heavy cars and no power steering.

Glad to see you not wanting to ding your car. I wouldn't have messed twice with that pacer on that corner either.

On the mountain top the Falcon's stays too long in Second Gear

The Falcon's changing gears too quick before the corners

Definitely not getting the best out of the machine. Terrible tow heal rev matching on down shift costing at least a second to 2 seconds a lap, that will destroy the clutch and when under pressure will cause compression lock up. Off the button way to early and but the car and the sound and the veiw is awesome thank you

The Pacer would only have a 3 speed gear box in it if in stock trim but what a gutsy car. The gear box was always Chrysler's biggest down fall even in the Chargers, that 4th gear would have made all the difference back in the day. Nice XY, what can you say, it's a racing icon!

The fastest 4 door car sold in the World in 1971. XY GT HO in Aussie slang (Hoie.)

Wish it sounded like a HO instead of a V8 supercar.

Great video but I can feel the pain of the engine and gearbox during those 3rd to 2nd gear changes.

What a way to have Sunday breakfast... Awesome. 100% better than reading the paper. God, current SC racing is sooo boring

That is FATT, beautiful noise.

hey clinton all i can say is WOW mate bloody awesome love it

Is group N category near to stock standard

Amazing but these drivers need lesson on shifting up and down 🤦‍♂️

cheers for that....loved it all

Bathurst is a very step race track .If you haven't been. You should. Then you will realize why your down shifting so much and missing the apex.

I would love to sit in the passenger seat for a couple of laps

Real Car real Driver can't get any better than that

As impressive and desirable as that XY is, grandmas old 6 cylinder valiant was absolutely relentless! Sitting back there like a friggin shark!.

Contact at turn 2?

I’d love to know how high she revs after a 4-3-2? Very well built engines! Just read another comment saying 9400 rpm...that’s amazing! Such a thrilling soundtrack...and they want us to go to electric cars....they are mad.

Feel sorry for the young today see a shell full of USA made parts racing around

Beautiful noise. Reminds of me belting around the moors in my Fiat 132 Supermiriafiori Sport and 2.3L Ford Cortina. Had a 14mile course. Not your bog standard, motors, tuned up.

I thought he was going to rip the gearstick out at some points. A beautiful noise, from 3rd to 2nd gear that exhaust making the noise of music.

She's a sneezer
