@@crunchytheclown9694 yeah he missed the gear at least twice but that doesn’t relate to the frustration expressed for selfish driving by the mustang. His lack of cubic centimetres also put him there but how does that excuse the stangs driving?
Think I’m going to cry. Miss my LJ GTR back in 1989. Still dream of the little red rocket. If only I knew how much they’d be worth today I would of held onto it.
Thanks for that, what a drive! My first car was an LJ Torana S always dreamed of a GTR-XU1. This car handles like a go-kart, of course it must be fully worked over. Love to see a full race video.
Such an awesome car. My first car was the same colour XU1. I can still remember being driven by my Dad at ridiculous speeds, sliding around corners. But that was 1/4 century ago, though.
my brother had a genuine gtr ,he completely restored it and after it was completed he loaned it to me for a week,there was a hill near my place with a gentle curve at the top and it is the only car that I have had to brake going up that hill, it would go over that hill at 100mph if it was a straight road.GREAT LITTLE CAR,I also owned one it was a 2 door with a 173 and three on the tree, I sold it to another brother,but before I did I painted it red,he had a good run out of it.
WoW. What an extremely tough holden red 6. I was cringing every time he missed 3rd gear thinking the red would explode at 7500rpm. Great video. Thanks for sharing. I have subscribed so watch more of your vids. Cheers
That was awesome! I love LC LJ Toranas! Great effort off the line and on the first lap. Pity about the red flag as he was on a clean lap before that and making progress.
I had a VK Calais 202 EFI with 320rwhp and it was wild and in the wet weather it was fun fun fun sick sick sick fish tail, fish tail, fish tail everywhere so I can only imagine 330rwhp in a little Torana. Love this video Glenn thanks Mate. 😎🤙😁🍺👍🇦🇺
@@GlennEverittMasterofMachines yeah that was my "auto correct" that put in RWHP and I didn't realize until i hit send. Getting 300hp out of a 202 today is a lot easier than it was 20-30years ago. 😎🤙
@@-sandman4605 Isn't that the truth. Far less bolt on stuff, but those of us that run fast sixes, looked for ever single hp we could find, no mater where it was laying in the engine. Often it required going places where conventional engine builders wouldn't go.
Giant killer. Man he was good on the anchors. And 330hp out of an n/a 202 is pretty much as far as you'll get I'd reckon. Great video Glenn, thanks for sharing.
@@brett174 Yer I hate to know what it cost him... nevertheless impressive as you said. Never knew a 202 could pump that out. I'm curious about how reliable it is.
@@Greenfig85 Yes mate, I reckon it'd be regularly rebuilt. The 330hp from a 9/12 port head would be about as much as it'd go n/a. J.ZED heads are pretty much hens teeth. Must be real keen to spend that kind of coin, but a 420hp red 6 would be a hoot to drive.
XU1’s had triple SU’s didn’t they? I’d say they’d be letting all that sound wind out, I know the 6pack Chargers and their triple Weber’s made a sublime symphony out of the 265’s

always wished i had bought a second hand LJ torana for my first car i ended up with a gemini that had a brand new paint job and was nice to drive as a hand me down from my dad. My second car was a vn v8.
Fresh Plus great times back then growing up. BMX track next to your primary school. I used to ride my dirt bike where the freeway is on the Widford street overpass & the Broady track.
THAT Was awesome. Such a nice sound . High revving 202 . Giant Killer. Awesome driving too. Great skills. I would love to have been strapped in next to you. I love the old 202s great reliable old engine and just look what we can do with it....... GO HOLDEN. ALWAYS.
what i want to know is how are they getting 330 hp out these things? what heads do they use and what do they do to them.. what comp ratio? fuel? im assuming massive roller cam no doubt.. but where has the extra power come from compared to when they raced back in the day... think in another video glean said they were putting out about 240hp at bathurst 1972/3
Umm no. I have built performance versions of both and it is a fallacy that the smaller engines rev harder. I even took a 179 HP engine out to 192, and while it went hard, it didn't go as hard as some of the 202's I built.

That was a while ago. 2014? I was a spectator/ crew at that meeting. The Torana I was helping on was mid field That is a very well driven and well prepared car, well except the shifter!! Though as of PI this year 2020, is a very bent car unfortunatly. It will arise again I am told. Hope so.
Yes, it was a while back. I was standing on the fence right opposite the crash this year as it happened, it was devastating. Thankfully Andrew is making great progress with the repairs.
That was fkn awesome. I loved every second of that. Brilliant drive. I was right with him when he was screaming at the 'stang.
His own fault, messed it up or did you miss that ?
