Default SS vs. A9X vs. V8 Supercar

Have a gander at this, saw it on another forum and thought everyone would like a look.

The 2004 SS Commodore is driven by Cameron McConville Peter Brock's 1976 A9X Torana is driven by the champ himself, and Mark Skaife's 2004 V8 Supercar driven by himself also.

Good watching! :

Yes, I remember that.

Just goes to show that the SS isn't a slow car.

On the dry track in 72 the HO's were significantly faster per lap than the XU1.

The only reason the XU1 did so well was wet conditions which suited it much better..

The A9X sounded the best out of those three.
