Holden Quotes & Sayings
As far as the Ford package is concerned, I think it’s quite good, but the same can be said for the GTS. I drove a Falcon at Bathurst quite recently and I was pleasantly surprised by the chassis particularly…engine no, it was very much a quitting engine and the Holden engine was a bit of a rocket compared to the Ford, there’s no doubt about that. The thing is that I don’t go in for all the computer printouts that tell me that what I felt is what I felt.

Well I like that A9-X I’ve got out there, that’s a lovely car. It was a lovely car to drive in its era…but if you compared it to today’s motor cars or say the Commodore, you’d have to say that the Commodore is a much more refined vehicle. But I drove that at Eastern Creek the other day, and sure it didn’t have much horsepower but it was just blitzing them handling wise.. and I thought this thing’s bloody good to drive.

How you feel about the car makes an enormous difference. If you like the car, everything is going to fall into place. The car, the color scheme, the dash, the whole lot. You sit in that car and you truly believe that this car is better, somewhere along the line it is better. There is no doubt about it. I remember when your dad (father of Craig Lowndes) and Ian Tate put together the XU1 Torana in 1972, it had a brand new color scheme and we sat there in the workshop looking at the car. That car won many races, it was immediately a second lap faster and we never touched it! Mechanically it was the same damn car and I remember looking at this car thinking ‘this is going to win’.

The first car I ever fiddled around with was the Torana GTR and I turned it into an XU1. Same with those Commodores.
