Like Spookstr, I am a Ford man, but that 05 A9X is a national tressure. How different does Mt Panorama look compared to today! 1970's & 80's touring cars is the era that does it for me. V8 Supercars have lost their way, & it is just not the same.

R.I.P BROCKY, i wasnt around to see his glorious years in the torries but nonetheless HE is a LEGEND. A9X one of the greatest Holdens ever made. and to brani123, I've noticed that Skaife doesnt like signing autographs really pisses me off too he is my favourite driver. Did get him to sign my hat once though.

Cont. At the illegal drags we frequented, nothing but something sniffing N.O.S. could come close. Can only imagine how sweet it was to drive the HDT A9X with the rumored 380-400hp. Magic stuff from the Australian cast old red motor 308, Torana and Peter Brock. Immortal legends

Back in the late 80's early 90's a mate had a Torana hatch mild 308, cut downe 9" 2.75 ratio LSD and the weakest link the m20 4speed gearbox. He was a apprentice mechanic at the time, n during his college block release ran it up on the college dyno as part of there prac work. The car made about 270hp at the wheels or about 300hp+ equivalent at the flywheel. The car would do 100kph at redline in 1st gear, did the 1/4 at williwbank in low 14s finish line speed 99mph.

They were Jongblood's, i think they're a German brand with special covers fitted for brake cooling. And yes, by that stage the A9X's were pulling over 270ks on a hot lap.

Dude, he won this race 9 TIMES. He also won the Bathurst 24hr in 2004. Won Sandown 500 9 times, Aust Rallycross champion, 5 times ATCC champion, 1979 Round Aust Rally winner, driven at Spa and Le Mans (24hr). The list goes on. Many of your 'great european and american drivers' have not even driven on this track. And the one's that did 'SH*T THEMSELVES'

@BENDOON23 The HB Torana was actually a copy of the second gen Vauxhall Viva in England, and not so much the Opel! The latter Torana's especially the LH series had the most Australian design input and don't share that much with the Ascona. The second and third gen Ascona's share design cues with the Camira and early Commodore.

IN answer to the question of how fast, well it depends on what configoration the car was in remmber these cars were set up diffently for different tracks, gearboxes diffs tune of motor, but I have it on very good authority that 11 second quater mile time and nearly 300kph if there is enough runup, from my very rusty memory he was doing 260 kph on conrod that year.

Not Sure, think they were a "Globe" rim from ROH similar to the Sprintmasters and the more recent "Bathurst Globes" Had the Bathurst Globes on a Commodore...IF anyone knows differently.. just say so, don't be smart and start a freaking World War...The picture I have, its difficult to make out what the rims were on the A9X.

primrose; jhqw7u676yfw143t does not speak for Ford fans. So dont assume he supports ford. I doubt he supports any motorsport. I'm a Ford fan, and like all Ford fans - have huge respect for Brocky - He was the greatest drivers we've seen in Australia. There was a cruise held by a few Ford car clubs; and sold many brocky bumper stickers for the occasion. Its not a matter of Ford Vs Holden; its honouring a legend that is Brocky.
