Werribee/Hoppers Crossing, and it's about 50 to 1. Too bad they all sound the same, look the same, and that one falcon would beat the 50 anyway.

What model?

I can't deny that I've always liked the blown V6, the whine is pretty cool, and they smash 6cyl Falcons (therefore all Falcons) of the time. It's almost a shame that Holden didn't push them though, they would have easily been the fastest cars in the range if they did.

VT S-Pack, has extractors, and a 3inch system on it, ive driven them before and they were gutless but this one is actually quick, going to get the smaller pulley, and some other little mods and see how it goes
