Your favourite ATCC/V8 Supercar's car?
mine would have to be (in this order):
1 - 'Day Glo/Last of the Big Bangers' 1984 VK Commodore (can't beat the colour and it was the best/meanest looking car Holden built) 2 - 'Win by six laps and lap record on the last lap' 1979 A9X Torana (well it looked great won by six laps and was good enough to set the lap record on the last lap) 3 - 'Brocks first Bathurst win' 1972 XU1 Torana (it was the best looking non-Malboro sponsered HDT car and it gave Brocky his first Bathurst win) 4 - 'The Rock Incident/Tru-Blu' 1980 XD Falcon (well the Rock incident sticks in you mind Holden or Ford fan the great debate goes on was it thrown or did it just fall,and it was a nice simple livery) 5 - 'Brocks Last-Last Bathurst' 2004 VY Commodore (was a livery one of HRT's best and seeing 05 and Brock on a race car at Bathurst one last time was great even though it crashed out don't mention the name Plato although they were never going to win i would of liked to see Brock come accross the finish line 1 more time) what are your favourite cars? |

Tv didn't do that Price Attack commodore justice, it was just beautiful and all sparkly in the flesh!
Myself, I've always had a soft spot for Andrew Medieke's OXO Sierra's |

Anyhow, favs for me anyway 1)Marcos Ambrose BA falcon.....not much else really needs to be said 2)Dick Johnson Shell Sierra - What a car. Could only think what could have happened if Group A continued & Johnson got hold of the 4wd Escort!! 3)Moffatt Coke Mustang. OK, so it was before my time, but it surely was an awsome car from an awsome era |

Bar one decal, the Torana's from 72/73 are the same, mate. Ease up! 1) 84 Sandown/Bathurst VK. Just AWESOME. Even the McLaren's didn't take up that colour until 1989! The bodykit, flares, colour...WOW!!!! 2) 2001/2 HRT Commodore - They may have "borrowed" the scheme from Vauxhaul, but it looked awesome on the VX. 3) 78/79 HDT Torana - Wow... Just looked great - even a ford fan can't disagree! 4) the Moffat 77 Dealer Team Falcons - I hate to say this, but they looked good. 5) For the day, the 85/86 HDT VK's. The white scheme with highlighs lookd modern beyond it's yeears. Round the highlights and it'd still look great! |

In no particular order the ones that spring to mind:
The VK/VL/VN Brock 05 Commodores - what racecars should look like The JPS BMW's - always immaculate The Green Eyed Monster - just cool DJR Shell #17 Ford Sierra - red is always faster Perkins Castrol VY Commodores - clean lines Andrew Miedecke's plain white Sierra (still looking for a sponsor) - for no good reason apart from it stuck out in the crowd Amaroo 1988 |

Without doubt, the 70's Falcon coupes were what a real muscle tin top race car should look like -
77 XC MFDT's 78 MFDT Cobras Johnsons XC Bryan Bryt Falcon Moffs Federation Falcon Carters Brian Wood XC Dicksons? Pioneer Falcon - big ears on the big coupes flanks It goes without saying that Moffs Coke Boss Mustang was the most succesful, best looking race car ever to hit Aussie race tracks. Tt always looked menacing and the opposition needed more cubes in order to catch it. 79 MHDT A9X Big Rev Kevs Camaro + quite liked the Pepsi Camaros too Greens Tuf Mustang IF a race car has to be a 4 door - Greens Tuf Falcon - the very definition of Aussie big bangers. The last ATCC car we heard the magic sound of the legendry '51 hammer around the Mount. True Blue XD's, the 'rock car' was a turning point in the ATCC, wonder what would have happend to the ATCC if DJ didn't 2nd mortgage his house for that car? Of course, the 2nd True Blue repayed Australians with an ATCC/Bathurst win. DayGlo MHDT Commodores Army Reserve Falcon The Captains Commodores, might have been more to do with the man himself though Brabhams? Denim SLR5000 Granpa's axe - what more can be said? Most of DJR's V8sc's, stand out being the Shell BA Gatorade Commodore Green eyed monster Cat BA Falcon HRT's Commodore with chequers on the rear. |

JPS BMW M3 from an asthetics point of view. Looked a whole lot better than the 635.
From a performance point of view the 1991 Nissan Skyline GTR. Still have the matchbox sized replica of that car. Beautiful car. |
