    I had a 1979 XC Update Panel Van for 10 years. Ended up ditching the 250 crossflow, for an XA 351, 9 inch, Toploader set up. Xc's had pretty weak flexy panels, they LOVED sill rust and door well rust. I installed the GXL dash as well, it drove very tight. Air shocks on the rear, lol, and monroe shocks all around, lowered front. I did Yarra Glen to Mansfield EARLY one morning, in 35 minutes @ 180KPH MOST of the way.

    I got 780hp without nitro with my Supercharged LSA GenF2 GTS. Its got stock trans converter and stock diff ratio.
    My sister drives it when I am over seas to keep her limber. Nobody thats driven it has been scared of it and it will light them at 100kmph with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 on it.
    I guess its what you get used to.

    Will have to convert that to CNG once oil becomes scarce not EV because batteries are made from finite materials and that too will run out. Anyhoo, that things got 900hp but can only do 10 sec 1/4 mile? must be the weight and tires not sticking

    • @Phillz91
      @Phillz91 Před 6 lety

      I don;t recall him mentioning a 1/4mile time. He said the car only goes 140mph but gets there in 10 seconds; that isn't indicative of a 1/4 mile time, just a bit of hyperbole.

    Nice try. It's all about coupes, and XA/XB's at that. Had a XB in 90/91 canary yellow GT 4 door. Couldn't buy one now. Sold it when I joined the army. Such is life.

    • @TheMr1RAD
      @TheMr1RAD Před 6 lety

      While it is 'all about coupes', the XC is the more refined of the XA-C generation. The sedans are the overlooked examples of the Falcons and besides, someone's toy is someone's toy and if they love it then that's all that matters. Besides, as an Aussie it is cool to see an Aussie beast tearing it up overseas, seeing it in the UK is great. Also, in fact, the XB was the least favourable of the GT Falcs ever built, aimed at being a laid back cruiser rather then ferocious like the XY and XA were, and FYI, Canary Yellow is a Holden colour, I believe you mean Yellow Blaze
