Just interested. How many members of this forum have LX SLR 5000's. Place your name with some details of your car so I can establish how many we have.

So if A9X's are included then that pic of Kevs also has HSVGTS (front hatch) and Eselar (rear sedan, behind GML-31) in it.

Isn't an SS 5000 just any SS 5 litre, I don't see why it has to be a late one.

Make that 9 replies(this one incl) and 3 legit responses(in my opinion of what I call legit anyways). How typical is this, why watch TV for a larff ????
^ LX8VD69 -> LOL.
I reckon A9X's shud be included, but it isnt my post ... hehe.
I will hopefully find a pic of mine and post when time is less valuable.

Name is Pallbag(aka Paul). Have owned it for about 3 years. Mild cam, roller rockers, extractors, widened GTS rims. Absolutely love weekends when I can take it out and give it a run. Got some hotwires in the shed that I will put on one day soon.
I live a bit west of Toowoomba in QLD.

An SS 5000 is a 5l SS. You could race anything you liked, you could race a Sunbird if you wanted, provided it was holologated. The A9X's ran under SS5000 rules in 1980. Grice ran one and so did Janson.Sort of on topic, the CAMs homolgation sheets list an SS 5000. Is this the A9X, or something else entirely? I've always found it a bit curious.

Didn't they have to race them without the front and rear spoilers under these rules for some reason? I seem to recall Grice and Janson racing the A9X's against Commodores and Falcons and none of the cars were allowed to use spoilers (until Bathurst that year).An SS 5000 is a 5l SS. You could race anything you liked, you could race a Sunbird if you wanted, provided it was holologated. The A9X's ran under SS5000 rules in 1980. Grice ran one and so did Janson.

as Red said, the SS5000 was the homologated version of the 308 SS (remember, they're 308's not 5L engines...hehehehehe).
You could race anything, as said, so long as it wasn't over and above the homologation level.........so no brake conversions to make em bigger than A9X etc. That sort of thing.
You could race a Sunbird, but you could only upgrade it to A9X/SS5000 spec.
Ahhhh, the days when you actually had to sell the cars to be raced.......
