HSV W427 - The Beast! - Part 2.avi
The fastest Aussie production car EVER - and it is of course a Holden! Scary interior though, but who cares!!!??? (half the price of an M5 too!)
One Lap Race of Bathurst - Speed Comparison between Holdens - Peter Brock Mark Skaife
A one lap race at Mount Panorama, Bathurst between a 1979 Holden A9X Torana, a 2004 Holden VZ SS Commodore & a 2004 Holden VZ Commodore V8 Supercar.
It's interesting to see how far racing technology has progressed.
The V8 Supercar happens to be the same car as my 1/6th Radio controlled version, as featured in some of my other clips.

1 lap Of Bathurst Skaife vs Brock
I made up this comparison video showing Mark Skaife & Peter Brock driving a lap around Bathurst Motor Racing Circuit. Peter Brock from the 1986 Race, Mark Skaife from the 2009 Race. Note the Caltex Chase at the end of Conrod Straight was not yet built in the Peter Brock video.
