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.
Dicky Johnsons XE was reving to 10,500 rpm all day long he said to keep up with Bartletts Camaro cause it cut thru the air so well down conrod compared to the XD !!!!
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.
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!
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 ...
Indeed SC racing is too clinical ( boring as batshit ) , there is no fun it anymore , I`d much rather be watching drivers battle to hold on to these oldies screaming around the track any day of the week , and when they have a mixture of cars from different classes that adds to drama and unpredictability of the race . Zero interest in SC racing .
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 .
These guys may seem like their not the best drivers, but I can understand their not racing for sheep stations. The cars are super expensive, and they probably have kids waiting for them at home. The drives won't give 10 /10ths
james mcleod I think you are spot on this guy is slowly but surely killing this car. The way he drives he should buy a rotor, or maybe just watch from the grandstand
No way they could be driving that fast if they had stock brakes and original tyres, even the same size tyre by st radials neve in a million years full stop, remove all the mod cons and then race the historic racing, sure upgrade the safety areas, but not brakes, roll cage ok, but everything else like it came from the factory, which includes all the cars which race in the historic racing ?
Awesome video, love seeing the Fords, Holdens & Chryslers of this era, for me these were Bathurst's best days.
I agree bro
Beautiful driving, beautiful car, well done Sir.
Long live the XY.

Totally mad!
When cars were cars.
That Mustang just pulls away....
Real Car real Driver can't get any better than that
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.
The fastest 4 door car sold in the World in 1971. XY GT HO in Aussie slang (Hoie.)
Love to see the Pacer driver have a go in the GT.
hey clinton all i can say is WOW mate bloody awesome love it
Wow, that mustang could sure put some distance between them down conrod. The sound of these beasts are amazing.

Absolute credit to Mark from yager performance Alstonville. That is one sweet Cleveland
Great video but I can feel the pain of the engine and gearbox during those 3rd to 2nd gear changes.
What a handful, especially over the top of the mountain.
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 ...
Awesome video of a great car - but how about the old Chargers acceleration, I see it but I don't believe it! hehe
Ikr! The rear view perspective is awesome too!
amazed at how much the mustang got away coming on to conrod, just seemed to walk away every lap on that last corner
That big ugly Charger was holding on pretty well too.
@@petemacfarlane6478 As well as the 245 Hemi Pacer
driver response time,was the difference,xy had more power but mustang driver had more balls!
The Mustang's more Aerodynamic than the Falcon that's why it Pulled Away faster
There is no way the XY had more power the 69 Stang much more plus better aero
To steal a line from Star trek " I'm giving it all I got Scotty, but you still want more". Bloody awesome.🖒
What a way to have Sunday breakfast... Awesome. 100% better than reading the paper. God, current SC racing is sooo boring

Zero interest in SC racing .
Who is in the pacer
Up Mountain Straight on the first lap and cresting the hill...woooo hooo!
It blew me out to see your father, Barry, and Grassy at the start!!!
So say the blokes who have never driven a GTHO
Charger vs XY beautiful to watch, well driven fullas
The 69 Mustang has got him in the HP stakes just pulls away on Conrod and mountain straight
On the mountain top the Falcon's stays too long in Second Gear
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 .
Wish it sounded like a HO instead of a V8 supercar.
What we need.....is a driver.... that puts his foot flat to the floor..... and doesn't change gears
The Falcon's changing gears too quick before the corners
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.
Is group N category near to stock standard
Listen to it rev out as he goes over hills,pushing it to the limit,moffit style
cracking engine
The falcon was no match coming down the mountain and then conrod straight.
These guys may seem like their not the best drivers, but I can understand their not racing for sheep stations. The cars are super expensive, and they probably have kids waiting for them at home. The drives won't give 10 /10ths
To much car for these guys interesting. not hiting apex right, going down the gears way to early. no mechanical sympathy.
However they had fun
james mcleod I think you are spot on this guy is slowly but surely killing this car. The way he drives he should buy a rotor, or maybe just watch from the grandstand
also he is on and off the loud pedal in the corners thats why he has to steer so hard
Have you ever driven a GTHO on the Track
@@davidashdown1247 that's what I was going to say. Throttle is part of the steering in these cars.
C,mon experts make a video and show us how you do it !
Plant it
Mumbo!!!

too slow
