Is that the one with the HZ Monaro LE wheels on it?

Nah, thats the Humber Super Snipe running the rotary.

Humber Vogue owns the Snipe.

As if. I could beat the vogue with a Riley jammed into the boot of the snipe!

A early 80's Celica Fastback might have been a better choice
Still looks simialar to a mustang and might have even gone better than the old mustang

im from wollongong the car is not a strip runner. Its a guys car. i run dynos every now and then so i know how it works and how it can be manipulated. I can assure you it was not.

You can assure me all you like, but if it's "not a strip runner" say no more

How is it rice? Rice are mod that do nothing for performance... I think the 26 is hardly rice.

And as stated, the Elenore (sp?) shelby has more rice on it than this, and Ford guys seem to praise that car.

Get over it.

Beat me to it!! If you go on fordsix.com you will find alot of yanks buying aussie 250xflo bits from us or their stangs.

I dont mind the car i was thinking an RB for my XM when i first started the project, at the time say the RB20 was about 1000-1500 bucks or for E-series xr6 motor 1500-2000. for the same ammount of work a hell of alot more potential in the RB for less cash.

On a jap motor point dont forget the good ol FJ20 ive seen those little things put out some good numbers on the dyno and strip.

Well thats just my 2c!!!

If someone with no idea has the money to buy the HO in the first place, more power to them i reckon.
