Well Done Nathan,
A very clear and well presented Video, and spooling is the word for pick-up as you can see the Torana catching up and over taking at the end. Dave I

Yeh I could only use half throttle most of the way through first it was spinning a heap. I'm very happy with the performance of the car it's very sedate to drive but makes plenty of mumbo when the loud pedal is jumped on.

A soft compound tyre like re-treads have excellent grip, I am also looking a 17" sprintmaster look-a-likes where the tyres you can get are 185/35/17 which it is the full width of rubber - i.e. 185mm or 7"
