Interesting,
As far as road holding and the feeling thr driver has behind the wheel. It is my experience that the Fords had it all over the Holdens of this era. I have never liked the lack of feed back through the wheel that was inherent in all Holdens up to the Commodore. Then I think the balance shifted the general's way big time.
The other interesting thing is that both companies kept the same basic under body/floor plan layout through the sixties and the seventies. And in Fords' case to the eighties in the XF. Having had both. To drive an XF is like driving a fancier XY. They have the same feel. Except the non power steering in the XY I prefer.
Power with the V8's much of a muchness. Except the hot up after market really boomed for the Holden/Chev product and was/is pretty rare and expensive for Ford bolt ons.
I'm probably way off topic here but there you go.
