Hey Outback, the only reason the XU-1 beat Moff in 1972 was because it was a wet race. You try driving around Bathurst with 380 hp on 15"x7" aquaplanes!!!!!!!!
Torana being lighter and less powerful was much easier to punt on the day. In a dry race good luck. What about A9X Torries, they're not overrated are they............... |

Fastest four door production sedan i can find is a Maybach 57S at 276km/h.
Theres a Brabus Benz thats quicker but not a production model. Most other cars are speed limited.

Funny enough that year Moffat had the fastest lap and was on pole. If the XU-1 was so quick (by the trolls own grading system), it lost the XA the following year.

I thought it was the 4dr bentley 305km/h
irrelevant anyways we can't afford one. And the current crop of Aussie cars if not all cars are limited in top speed mine for example 230km/h limited. Even my old magna awd would do a very easy 214km/h limited with only 150kw ( this is a heavy automatic all wheel drive car ) Based on basic calculations I've made un limited the g6et would easily do 280km/h didn't that hsv ute do 286km/h stock in that outback test? |

The GTHO H3 was built as a circuit race car, not a drag racer.. FSV wouldnt have given a toss about what it did over the 1/4, what it did around bathurst was what it was designed for.

No one really bothered with fast 4 doors at the time, everything truly fast was 2 door. How things have changed. Now every man and his dog is making a fast 4 door. C63, E63, S65, Flying Spur, Panamera, Rapide, RS6 etc. |

Does it matter? Possibly both?
Just read and enjoy: http://www.uniquecarsandparts.com.au...lcon_xy_gt.htm The OP got answered at post #4, perhaps it should've stopped there. |

What was being measured when we're talking about fastest though? Fastest over a quarter mile? Fastest top speed?
I think the 4 door qualifier was a bit of a cop out myself. Beaten by the E49 down the quarter but it has 2 less doors, so.. |

The E49 was a 1972 model, not 1971, and it was 200kgs lighter than the 1971 GTHO PH3...

The only verified 1/4mile time for the P3 is with the Bathurst diff, and I dont even think it was down an actual 1/4mile track.
Considering the Boss 351 Mustangs ran 13.Xsec quarters at around 104mph, that gives you an indication of what a properly setup and driven P3 should run (since they basically had the same drivetrain) They were of similar weight too I have heard of an E49 running 13.9s @ 100mph or so.

It also had 2 less cyls and 1.5l less capacity
yet according to the testing back in the day was faster to 100mph by 0.3 of a second Also let's not forget Chrysler was the red headed cousin they didn't have the budget of ford. It did have a lower top speed than the GT. And everyone knows chargers aren't fantastic handlers and don't have the best rear end grip in a straight line either. |
