Good video Rob and lucky John would have one of the best employee cars going around..
What tyres were on the Ute when Rick Kelly took it for a spin?

Any sort of irony - that the background music (Thunderstruck) was used in an advertising campaign for the Holden SS 'Thunder' Ute??

Steering wheel is too big.
Steering rack ratio is all wrong. Not enough rear grip Rear suspension is loose Understeering on the front A monster motor needing to find a decent chassis This is what happens when you try to turn a quasi-truck into a track vehicle U would need BIG BALLS to push that hard in the wet....paging Glen Seaton!

Raser,
Correct me if i'm wrong, but until fairly recently didn't the sports or racing varients usually have larger steering wheels than the standard car? Dosen't the Falcon actually have a fairly decent turning circle compared to most race cars? Meaning you don't actually need a lot of lock to get around corners? I admit the Rear suspension belongs under a 6x4 trailer rather than a 500+ HP performance vehicle though.
