Reader update:
Here is a photo of what appears to be an unfinished Cobra taken by a FordAustralia Forums member “sfr rob”
—
A few weeks ago we discussed rumours that Ford was planning a limited edition ‘Cobra GT Falcon’ to commemorate the 30th Anniversary of Allan Moffat and Colin Bond’s historic 1977 form-finish at Bathurst.
Sources inside Ford have today confirmed the rumours. From what we have been told, there will be 400 sedans and 100 utes. They will be powered by a 302kW BOSS V8 developing 540Nm. 0-100km/h times and any further enhancements over the standard GT is currently unknown.
Of course all 500 will only be available in white with blue stripes and cobra badges on the side (picture above is supposedly the Cobra).
More on this as it comes.

now this is a fitting end to the current shape,
Vote:good on Ford for making something worth buying
October 3rd, 2007 at 11:56 am
Wow, Cobra badge!
Vote:And why 302kw? The Current HSV has 307kw. If they mean about the 302ci V8 they are wrong, the old XC Cobra had 351ci
October 3rd, 2007 at 12:02 pm
XC Cobras came with 302ci engines too…..
I have seen a couple of signed contracts for these cars last month from dealers, so they have known about this car, and taking pre orders, should be at sydney motor show
Vote:October 3rd, 2007 at 12:10 pm
The 351 Cleveland was a better engine to have than the 302, i’m just wondering why they didn’t at least beat 307kw
Vote:October 3rd, 2007 at 12:18 pm
Glad they have finally confirmed it and more numbers than first thought, 400 was the amount they made in 1977 from memory though. Correct Tony they did come out in both.A lot of the guys that have original XC Cobras would be snapping these up ,some trying to match in with their original numbered car.
Vote:October 3rd, 2007 at 12:24 pm
Yes the 351 was abetter engine but the reason why they didnt give it 351kws is because there up and coming fpv falcons wont have much more the 302kws as we have pointed out in other discussions. But it is good to see that it has been confirmed and I wounder how fast it will oull down the quarter. If the GT (2007 MK2) can pull 13.9 seconds Im guessing this thing could maybe do….13.5seconds down the quarter. Look for the times in motor magazine, there the ones that have pulled 13.5 from the f6 and ss and 13.4 from GTS, where as wheels can only manage a 13.7 out of GTS and 14 flat from the SS. Wheels, you need some better drivers. MOTOR MAG ALL THE WAY. Love to see moffat Trick Dicky or lowndsey pull a couple of skids and go for a fat lap in this car around the mountain. Broke maybe the king of the mountain, but the Cobra is the ledgend of the race.
Vote:October 3rd, 2007 at 12:26 pm
They have beat 307 but you will have to wait till the Orion.320 kws expected.
Vote:October 3rd, 2007 at 12:30 pm
i think you will find the orion will smash the HSv’s Kw figure, and should be a good drive, i know some people in the factory there and they say the new falcon is something special, i hope they live up to there word!
Vote:October 3rd, 2007 at 12:41 pm
Seems you guys are the first to announce the info on the web so far,congrats ,well done ,what a scoop!
Vote:October 3rd, 2007 at 12:52 pm
Need to give it a good name before them daewoo fans come a spoil the party.Wonder if it will be signed by moffat and bond in the car (Dick Johnsons 320kw DJR on dash) and i hope it comes out with a wilder body kit. If this has 540Nm (same as DJR 320) it must have around 560 to 580 depending on if it has 310 or 320kws.
Vote:October 3rd, 2007 at 12:56 pm
Still nothing about the Cobra on http://www.fpv.com.au/ Will it come out at the same time as the Craig Lowndes?
I’m sorry Lowndes, I prefer the Cobra Ute than your ute, if it had a power increse, I may of wanted one.
Vote:October 3rd, 2007 at 12:58 pm
Nice idea, wish Ford had off upped power above the standard FPVs though.
Vote:October 3rd, 2007 at 1:00 pm
Still nothing about the production ready supercharged V8, perhaps they will make a new GTHO of the modern era.
I had a spy at FPV, and the engine is a done deal, hundreds of hours to approve and certify it.

Wfat do you mean the engine is a done deal? Have you seen it in the Phase 5 running aroung it testing track or are you making up bullshit? Dont mean to be mean but we just want the facts.
Vote:October 3rd, 2007 at 1:11 pm
That 7.0l HSV with 385kw will beat all your dumb Ford arses!
(thats what Holdenwoo fans will say)
I hope there will be a supercharged GT-H0, but if not called GT-HO, they should call it an F8 Typhoon to beat that 7.0l HSV.
Vote:October 3rd, 2007 at 1:22 pm
I like your thinking, but have a look at this, http://www.motorhead.com/…..tions.html. It has a story on the last gen stangs and they developed an all alloy 5.8 (GTHO) V10. Engine configuration is DOHC with 4 valves per cylinder. More cylinders less wait new tec ford built but dont know how much power it has. But this engine in the new GT would really fuck em.

I didnt know a GT could look any better. Already looks better then GTS or R8, although they never looked better then the GT to start of with. Please release some times.

New piture! It still has the GT badge on the grill, I thought they were just Cobras.
Vote:P.S… Nice stripes!
October 3rd, 2007 at 1:54 pm
Like the addition of the snake in the middle of the sedan and ute. Heres a match up for you all FPV GT Cobra VS 20th Aniversary R8 clubsport and FPV Cobra Pursuit ute VS HSV Maloo ute. Love to see which ones come out on top, fpv i hope. On another subject for a minute, has anyone heard of the FPV Turbo Territory? It is said it will also be presented at the Sydney Motor Show.
Vote:October 3rd, 2007 at 1:56 pm
Cobra 302, it should be, from what we’ve heard it will be one of two new FPV models, this is probably the other one?
Vote:October 3rd, 2007 at 1:57 pm
If dealers are taking peoples orders, it’s because of this site.
Vote:October 3rd, 2007 at 1:57 pm
as this is a cobra that should of tryed and got a shelby cobra engine…. GT500(373Kw) or GT500KR(400Kw) engine!!
Or even the new big daddy of engines.. the Super Snake engine… 522Kw!!!
but saying of this… the 302KW is the most powerful engine built in AUSTRALIA not like GMH!!!!
but i say fight fire with fire!!!
Vote:October 3rd, 2007 at 2:09 pm
that’s right, I think the Cobra FPV should of been supercharged to be like the shelby GT-500 Mustang.
This really is the most powerfull V8 ever made in Australia!
Vote:October 3rd, 2007 at 2:20 pm
it gunne b real funny when holdenwooes(sik) get beaten by 9yr old falcons wih 70’s engine tech, i feel so so so for holden next year when the new orion and mondeo, and facelifted focus come in line. now they just need the new fiesta and kuga to totally own toyata and holden, rock on FORD!!
Vote:October 3rd, 2007 at 2:29 pm
Does anyone know what the cobra falcon is retailing for in sedan and ute form, manual or auto? Do they utilise the
R-Spec suspension too? Maybe the’ll publish them in upcoming articles.

Snake Bite,
Vote:your answers are just posted at the top of the article.
October 3rd, 2007 at 2:30 pm
That what we like to hear. How good would it be if FPV got its hands on the new XR5 turbo Mondeo, boosted power to around 200kws and added all wheel drive. Sounds a bit far out, but Mr Barret at FPV was talking about look for more performance beond the falcon (we no the territory is coming but we wouldnt expect this). So fpv, why not have a crack at it and market it up against the likes of the new EVO. And do the same the the XR5 Turbo Focus and match it up (price wise) against the new WRX impresa (but give it 200kws and AWD).Cant get over the new cobre, god it such a sexy car, although it would have been better with XC style bonnet bulge and a shaker.
Vote:October 3rd, 2007 at 2:32 pm
Dont no prices but they do come with r-spec suspension.
Vote:October 3rd, 2007 at 2:34 pm
UPDATE QUESTION: Why are the Brembos optional? The normal GT sedans come with Brembos standad. Do you mean Brembo 6 piston as an option?
Vote:October 3rd, 2007 at 2:43 pm
Yes that is what they mean, but the next falcons are coming out with even bigger and better brakes. It is said that the GT and F6 Typhoon will come with the current 6 pot calipers but with much bigger disc rotors, which will know be cross drilled and ventilated.
Vote:October 3rd, 2007 at 2:53 pm
Wow, that will look amazing with big brakes on the FPVs it’ll look much better than any HSV Donk!!!

To right, I was just woundering were the hell everyone is. I thought this site would have been going made with comments, OHH I no now, you are out ordering the HSV Slayer. Cobra bites the lion and the lion is suddenly dinner. Taste like shit. Inject the venom baby.
Vote:October 3rd, 2007 at 3:24 pm
What are the black ones i wounder? could just be a gt gt-p or maybe a prototype for the up coming aniversary of the first GTHO. Release a GT-HO in the current shape would be really awsome to see, but with 375kw. But I doubt it.
Vote:October 3rd, 2007 at 3:38 pm
Good one Cobra 302, let the cobra bite the Lion!
Vote:Look at all those new FPVs, oh it makes me feel good!! Always looks better than any HSV!
October 3rd, 2007 at 3:41 pm
So from the pics of the stock already made I take it there for the pre orders next orders will be produced again in November and another batch in Jan. Vehicles are meant to be in dealerships the week of the 15.10.07 4 days after the unveiling in Sydney.
Vote:October 3rd, 2007 at 4:10 pm
aftermarket supercharger kits for this car are a must, if FPV cant deliver the goods, then its upto the consumer to complete this car the way it should have been.
Vote:October 3rd, 2007 at 4:11 pm
On ford forums site it said about something on document papers about the code name being “HURRICANE”. Just a thought but bare with me, is just ford that will be getting 5.0ltr V8 from jag or FPV as well. Because if FPV dont get, then Id say that they will get 6.2ltr V8 for 2010 FPV models and 5.0Ltrs for Ford XR8, Fairmont etc. The name Hurricane is said to be on the manifold covers or something like that. Check the weblink abouve about the new car and go through there first page. That is where they are talking about it. Funny as, the guy has walked through and just taken pics of there car which is just about to be released. Only a ford fan would have the back bone and balls to do that.
Vote:October 3rd, 2007 at 4:18 pm
This car is the start of what is about to come, and you dont need a supercharger anyway, ever heard of capa flash tuner. Put that in your falcon and full herrod system and you have a mid to low 12 second car. Take a 2004 BA XT Falcon Inline 6, put a flash tuner on it with the full exhaust sytem you can buy from them and you have a flat 14 second car, which is now as fast a a VE Calia V. For only around $20,000 where as a Calia is about $50-55,000. Then tell me what you can do with the other $35,000 Mat.

I’m getting ready for the holdenwoo fans making fun of FPV thinking this is Ford’s response to the 307kw, what they don’t know is that this is the start of whats coming next year!

” …A few weeks ago we discussed rumours that Ford was planning a limited edition ‘Cobra GT Falcon’ to commemorate the 30th Anniversary of Allan Moffat and Colin Bond’s historic 1977 form-finish at Bathurst….”
Why associate the Cobra with the 77 finish at Bathurst? The XC Cobra wasnt released until the following year… FPV better buy a calendar.
Pathetic effort FPV …
Vote:October 3rd, 2007 at 5:16 pm
Man it is cooooolll.
Vote:But does anyone else think that the top strips should have a thinner stripe on the sides, the same as the side strip has? Just think the two wide stipes look a bit bare and unfinished. Same goes with the 40th Anniversary model too.

Thanks for your help Alborz earlier when we were trying to get one of these, have now purchased one in Melbourne at R/R/P unlike what they were trying over in this state. New number plates are GT COBRA 07 .Car is ready in a few weeks to pickup.
We have a contract from one dealer over in W.A that was $4000 above the R/R/P ,one is looking at Auctioning his and another was over $80.000 . No wonder its the third time in 4 years we have purchased interstate ,the guys over here need to know it only costs a bit over a $1000.00 to freight a car from the East plus your warranty is still valid where ever it ends up!
Vote:October 3rd, 2007 at 5:40 pm
i hope one of the big magazines gets one of these to test put it against the clubsport. then put it on a dyno i think it would pull 320kw, 302 will be a marketing thing for the cobra and the orion
Vote:October 3rd, 2007 at 5:41 pm
Drew, why do you think this is a patetic effort. May I say that this time next year that it is a high possibility that the Cobra could well become a permainit modle in the FPV stabels. Think about that in the corner with your dunce hat on you complete fuck wit.
Vote:October 3rd, 2007 at 5:43 pm
Wasnt the release of the XC Cobra just a way to clear out the Hardtop body shells before the XD went into production..?
I dont like this new Cobra from what I see so far…

Yes Drew there was 400 shells left when they were made ,but either way you look at it the XC Cobra was a great looking car especially the Bathurst Models .

Hey Paul …….where you been all week honey?
It may seem like a big marketing stunt but hey its working a treat so far , It seems these colectables that Ford are offering us are a HUGE !!!!!!!!!!Hit, my other half was about to step out of his BA GT after almost 5 years {next month is 5 years from when he first ordered one }and didn’t want just a ORION GT he wants a HO and their not due for release till 2010 so the way we look at it this BA Cobra will hold if not increase in value till then. He’s a Ford man so talking him into ANYTHING else won’t work,not even after I grovel from my first test drive of the new M3 next week……he will be impressed to with the M3 but its a girls car to him !

did you get an order in for a Cobra?? Because they were originally only bringing out 300, a few dealers have an extra 2 to sell.

My dealer wont do that, they say it is wrong!!
Vote:October 3rd, 2007 at 6:57 pm
Paul,
do you know anything about motoring passion? or even heritage?
it is marketed as a comemorative issue for release during bathurst. (yep this car marks one of the most memorable finishes)
whether you see it as a marketing stunt or not fact is marketing stunts are a clever way to sell cars.
i hope it is a one off and NOT a permanent addition.
trust ford to release a car that will actually appreciate in value

A question to everyone. Would you rather see ford/fpv go down this same styling market or would you like to see them step out of it a bit and do something more along the the line of a modern looking XA 4 door. Just remember that every other car company is going with the european styling, how about we do some Australian styling for the 2010 falcon. But dont make it a fuck up like the 1st series AU. Give some feed back because I bet 1 of the big guys at ford and fpv are watching this column for our comments on this car and the next falcon. Show some support on this idea. Ford is number 1, uses can win Bathurst again. Bring home championship as well.

Hey 40th yep thanks got one,I know what you mean on the price hike ,its also illegal ,according to their FPV contract they have to sell at R/R/P or below.They are greedy bunch over here.What did you pay ?Did you get the bigger Brembos?

Even though its not a Coupe; Ford have done the Cobra name proud with these two modern examples – yet I guess the ute could be considered a Tu-dor..
I like the bodykit particularly the deckild on the sedan; its subtle unlike the “bookshelf” fitted to the GT
The Stripes however [which I expect will have a thin light blue edge like the XC] should be a little bit further apart and flow over the bumopers onto the air dam.
They should also fit wheels which are more similar to Globes from the Original XC Cobra
And the Ute could have a Remote Controlled Rolla Door Tonneau Cover. The flip-top Tonneau Covers look silly

wheelnut,
i reckon it is the same spoiler as the GT’s. how are you making your assumption they are different?
i reckon if the stripes were further apart they would be half on the bonnet bulge and half off and that would prob look worse.
Vote:if you have another look (and i did) you will see the stripes run to the full width of the bulge at the narrowest point
October 3rd, 2007 at 7:55 pm

When u think about it, the R8 only got an extra 10 KWS and 10 extra NM. The new Cobra GT gets an extra 12 KWS and 20mns. Thats a bigger improement then holden has done, and it spent 1 billion dollars.
Vote:October 4th, 2007 at 10:26 am
Godfather they didnt spend $1 billion on the engine, that was designing an entire car! The whole my V8 is better then your V8 argument is pointless, they could sqeaze as much power as they want out of these engines, its about doing that and maintaining its longetivity. In this regard Ford, with its more sophisiticated engine, seems to be superior. In terms of power, the question I would be asking is, why didnt they modify them to produce this power years ago instead of now when this model at least is on the outer!?!? Marketing stunt.

Godfather, you have a TS50? Sweet! Best looking AU by far and even makes the VT Clubbie look bland.
Toyota Paul, of course it’s a marketing stunt. What’s wrong with that? The XC Cobra was created to shift 400 leftover hardtop shells before the all new XD took the reins. Exactly the same situation here 29/30 years later.
I applaud Ford for this “kill two birds with one stone” approach. Commemorating the most famous race 1-2 finish in Bathurst’s rich history and selling more GT’s before they are superseded.
From what I know, these 400 cars are already spoken for because their is such high interest in what will become a collectable classic like the original.

The TS50 has been a good investment for you too,they have held their value really well I think . They are a great looking car I agree the best in the AU range.
Agree Watto Cobra it is a great marketing stunt and one that has obviously worked ,it seems Ford has put a lot of posture on this Cobra project ,especially in trying to keep it a secret ,this is clearly why most of the cars are now sold .Not bad considering they only released them officially 2 days ago.
I personally think the GT name in Australia has the highest accreditation in the Muscle Car market and this Car has enforced it

Not to mention straightline acceleration is 1/10000 of driving, you cant go anywhere near 300km/h on normal roads so who cares and last but no least, I would prefer a car that will give me many years of trouble free performance (ie Ford) compared to a POS pushrod General Motors V8.

All this excitement for 302kw? I supposed you guys knew HSV were doing this back some 6-7 years ago and running mid 13 second passes? Not having a dig or anything, but credit where credit is due.
Also, to make another point, to the guys telling Holden to ‘watch out’ in ‘08 ’cause the Orion would spank their ass in levels of power, Ford have been saying that year after year since… geeze, the late 70’s? It’s always a case of ‘Look out, we have this really powerful beast coming’ and it always turns out to be a dissapointment.
How can some of you Ford fans put up with that year after year? I am a brand loyalist, but I do have my reasons as to why I prefer the Lion over the Oval and am not a one-sided immature keyboard warrior either. I would be very interested to hear some of your points of view.

Fry
You claim that Ford always promises to bring out a new Falcon that will dominate with power… Yes Ford do claim that everytime they bring out a new model, and they aren’t wrong… It took Holden an entirety of 10 years to catch up with power levels that Ford had begun with. Want an example… The 1993 ED XR Falcon XR6, has 161kw power. The VX Commodore S 2002 has 156kw… Hmm, i think Ford have the upper hand there. It is only now that Holden currently have more power to give with the VE range… but they stuffed up, they made them way to heavy, and when it comes down to power/weight ratio, Ford still obliterate Holden. Oh, power to weight ratio is what really matters, i like to call it crunch time.
Holden have the fastest ute? I don’t think so, that claim was made in 2004, the year before the F6 Tornado was released… I haven’t heard of any further claims about that from Holden since.
And yes it might be true that Holden are releasing a “Supercar”… Wow I’m pretty sure Ford have had a supercar for many years now… i think it’s called the GT… you know it only produces 405kw of power…
But hey, GM/Holden will always be the ones with the power, cause afterall, they have Daewoo.
More to the point, the FPV Cobra GT, at least it is acutally designed, produced and assembled here in Australia… can’t say that for any Holden/HSV car.

for the holden boys who like to brag about their power figures to compensate for elsewhere driving ford is about heritage, history and respect for your car, not havin more horses to brag about. Droppin an american super car motor into a commodore(that already looks dated) does not count as an aussie super car! not only have ford had one of those for years (gt40) and could easily cheat like that, but the camaro looks better than any commodore any day.
Anyway thats my winge! Really great to see the ford come out with a special release with a sensible power and spec increase – will be interested to see the improvement over standard GT and sticking to the true great story of turning a run out model into an instant collectors ;) ford innovation at its best – once again drawing on its heritage and history.

Did you see last week on the Bathurst review with DJ,he said its only in resent months he has finally found out how the rock ended up on the track ? So it wasn’t done on purpose ,but I must say that incident certainly improved his exposure. I don’t think has been another driver that Ford fans dislike as much as Crash Bandicott.

Hey 280Zux. Your eddy Mabo isn’t a ute. It’s a puss bucket for show ponies. A Zuzuki Might Boy can carry more than a Mabo. I can even get more into a wheel barrow than what one of them will carry. So what it if it has a high top speed. The mighty Boy will probably knock it off for the first quarter mile seeing the POS is geared so high.
Typical Holden , can’t invent anything themselves so they borrow the ute design from the people that inverted it. FORD.
HRT , You can get medication for that.

While I like the new Cobra’s and think Ford have done a great job with it I don’t see them as much of an improvement over my GT..
Is it a marketing ploy by Ford sure it is they have to do something to sell some cars with the new model coming Holden did the same thing before the VE came out..
Would I trade my GT for a new Cobra no I wouldn’t I prefer to wait for the Orion and see what Ford does with that..
Same reason why I still own my SS I’m waiting til after motor show and see what HSV comes up with..
I get the best the of both worlds at Bathurst I cant loose whether a Ford or Holden wins I’m happy..
To quote Azza and no I dont want to start a thread war. “More to the point, the FPV Cobra GT, at least it is acutally designed, produced and assembled here in Australia… can’t say that for any Holden/HSV car..”
I think you will find that all Commodres/HSV were designed and are produced and assembled in Aus I’m sure last time I was in Adelaide I drove past the plant making them..

Courtney/Ingall SBR
Davidson/Johnson DJR
Holdenwoo
T.Kelly/Skaife HRT
pRick/Wingnut HSVDT
I’d say our chances are good. I can’t see any other Holden team being a threat. Honestly, if I were part of a Holden team, but not part of the super-sized Wankingshaw HRT/HSV team, I’d be seriously pissed off.
The Wankingshaw team and heaps of Fords are way above the rest of the Holden teams. Wouldn’t you be wondering what the hell is going on if you were Perkins or one of the others, why none of the other Holdens come close to Wankingshaw’s and 50% of the Fords. I’d be asking questions.

Ford can do somthing that Others can’t do, Ford has tradmark side stipes that are used on the 2005 GT-40 and the new Mustang Shelby GT-500. They used them on the GT and Cobras thought the 70s, so this is verry retro.

I’m amazed Kelly’s and Pretty made it there in their HX clunker. I remember about 15 years ago when my mates and I were buying our first cars. I got a TD Cortina for $1000, top car.
Mate bought an HX Kingswood for $1900. Starter motor kept crapping itself, and at the traffic lights, half the time the gear linkages would lock up. Very embarrassing having to jump out and get under the bonnet nearly every set of lights with people honking behind us.
Needless to say, we usually took my car when we had to go somewhere.

Azza,
Mate I’m a Ford person, but you are wrong about the Commodore. Previous models were Austalianised versions of GM’s German Opel. However the VE is pretty much designed in Oz, engines/drivetrain however is of US origin. Plenty of proud Aussie engineering in the VE. The only Korean input in the commy is an offshore parts suppler.
Yes all commodores and derivatives are built here in SA at Elizabeth.
Unfortunately the Orion may be the least local content Falcon yet.
BTW, nicely tidied up on the foul language folks. Lets just keep it about cars.

What the………even after last years efforts at the great race the Police only arrested 20 people at the Race in a crowd of 100,000 ,what amount did they arrest at the GF last week ,did they get a WATER CANNON? Just cause the Police didn’t get to use it at APEC doesn’t mean they can tow it around trying too now.
Read what this brown Prius owner said on the post.
Quote “Anyone who is silly enough to spend day after day watching the same cars lap a circuit, really doesn’t need extra alcohol to make them even sillier. I would go further and place a TOTAL ban on alcohol at Bathurst. In addition, we should be handing out vasectomy brochures to all these imbeciles attending the races, in the hope that a few of them won’t breed. More dumb rednecks in Australia – we don’t need.”end quote!

Here is what Russell’s site said this arvo
Caltex Racing’s Russell Ingall has qualified for the top ten shootout for the Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000 at Mount Panorama, Bathurst, NSW, this afternoon.
Setting the sixth quickest time in today’s second leg of qualifying, Ingall’s performance added extra joy to his co-driver Luke Youlden’s day following his race one win for the Fujitsu Series this morning which he led from the opening lap.
As Mount Panorama’s most consistent driver over the circuit’s 45 year-long history, Ingall has been strategic in his approach to his Bathurst 1000 weekend, choosing yesterday to run used tyres in practice and focus on car set-up rather than setting quick times early in the weekend.
Today, this strategy continued with some ‘tweaking’ taking place during the sessions to further prepare Ingall and Youlden’s car for Sunday’s great race.
With the race engine yet to be fitted into Ingall’s Caltex Racing Falcon, he is confident of finding further gains – with a strong package assured with good brakes and the ability to survive on older tyres – both important factors in the 1000 kilometre endurance event.
Following a final 60 minute practice session for the field at 10.00am, the top ten will come together for the shootout at 3.40pm ahead of Sunday’s great race.
WHAT HE HAD TO SAY…
Russell Ingall – #9 Caltex Racing Ford Falcon
“We are really happy with the way things went today,” said Ingall.
“We made some changes in qualifying that we wanted to try in practice but ran out of time.
“We made some gains and it’s really been a matter of tweaking the Caltex Falcon rather than doing anything major.
“The last lap in qualifying looked like being a mid 2:07 but we got held up by (Cameron) McConville all the way through the chase.
“We are within two to three tenths of the main guys, we have some good pace which is half the battle and I think it is a pace that we can sustain on older tyres.
“We still have the race engine to go in which will give us a bit more and we have good brakes which seems to be an issue for some teams at the moment.
“SBR has two cars in the top ten with both looking very consistent; it’s looking pretty good at this stage.”

Oh yeah will watching all Saturday and Sundays footage. So Youlden won race 1 of Fujistsu series. Not surprised, and I think I mentioned earlier he’s an ideal co-driver if you can’t have both lead drivers in the one car.
Winterbottom must be quick early, which is great that he’s teamed with Richo now.
Glad I didn’t miss seeing the Cobra doing a lap. Do you think there will be two of them replicating the 1-2 finish?
Vote:October 6th, 2007 at 1:04 am
Not sure,watch at 9.00am EST,we will see!!!!!!!!
Vote:October 6th, 2007 at 9:47 am
Youlden and ingall have quite a history racing together which is sure to help.
also the courtney car (other SBR car) also has a good part time driver in Besnard who should be more than at home as he used to race full time in a SBR car.
i reckon richards/winterbottom will be hard to beat though especially after their great performance yesterday.
tander should go alright but unfortunately he will be let down by his co driver RK. tander seems to get a lot more out of the car than RK.
lowndes can drive anything in any condition (and whincup is nearly as good) so if they are there at the end you can count on lowndes to drive the wheels off it just when all the cars are wearing.
the always overlooked #17 DJR car will yet again be competitive and if there at the end will easily be strong inside the top 5. the #17 has been quite strong up front of the time sheets placing first,second and forth in the frist 3 sessions.
GO DJR!!!!!
it would be great to see a team win that isnt part of a big commercial team. that is for eg SBR and DJR. both of these teams actually have quite a good chance.

Car 1 2 and 302 mmm interesting,I know previously with the 40th anniversary car the number 1 car was dealer incentive car but didn’t know that 2 and 302 would be also,where did you read that?
What do you think about Ford just using the 302 kw upgrade as a marketing ploy! I think they have made too many upgrades
Vote:to the previous 290 kws to be just getting 12 kws more .

Re Davidson…….thats weird,no idea then! Does DJR have a web site to check yesterdays results ? I can’t find one !
Vote:October 6th, 2007 at 11:07 am
DJR has a website (Jim Beam) and you have it say your age before you can get into it. Maybe to stop little kids from watching binge drinking or something.
Vote:October 6th, 2007 at 11:14 am
Cool thanks Me
Vote:October 6th, 2007 at 11:18 am
Thanks again Me found out why Alex times were wiped.Here is what he said on the site,bad luck mate Russell did the same thing too once from memory
“A disappointed Davison stated, “13th place would have been a great start for us but I made a mistake coming into pit lane and missed the weighing scales at pit entry; unfortunately this resulted in my fastest time being excluded from the session. I was held up in traffic earlier while I was on a flying lap and there was a problem with the car this morning but hopefully now all the problems are behind us. We’ll prepare the car as best we can for the race now and the practice tomorrow can be utilised to fine tune everything.

missile check your mail.
ah i havent checked the DJR website yet but i was going to head there to find out what happened,
thanks for that
oh i have a photo with jim richards and my self in front of alex davisons porsche. i went down to melbourne at the time the F1 GP was starting and couldnt resist but to rub shoulders with Jim.
alex showed up and jim was showing him how to adjust the brakes in the thing.
it must have been a while before the start of the race because they didnt even have the motor in it yet!!!! he he he he he he he
Vote:the motor was still in the boot from when they got it off the truck i think he he he
October 6th, 2007 at 11:42 am
Checked my mail nothing yet…….
Jim seems like a nice guy,Alex knows how to adjust the brakes in a Porsche? Motor in the boot ,very funny….
Lucky you going to F1 , I have never seen it up close.

Any one see any thing about the prize helmet pRick “arse rape’n” Kelly’s wearing at Bathurst on the V8 supercar website.
It’s some Halo 3 helmet.
Vote:October 6th, 2007 at 11:57 am
dont worry about going unless you are a corporate member. you cant see anything or go anywhere around the track.
F1’s seem to be a snobby sport. i was very disappointed at what you cant see.
in my disgust i went past the porsche tents which are in the middle of no mans land (poor guys never get facilities)
that really made it worth it for me getting a shirt signed.
while i was there todd Kelly walked right past me and then came back to talk to Jim aswell.
Vote:i think he was walking the crowd (in his HRT Gear mind you) trying to get some recognition he he he.
i let him walk right past me. oh i was wearing my DJR shirt so he would have known i would have known who he was but i looked straight through him.
ah but in fairness i must say Todd seems to be the much more down to earth one in the HRT/HSV teams

Vote:October 6th, 2007 at 12:11 pm
I would just like to go to F1 to see the hear the cars of and get close up to Mark Webber ,don’t think that would ever happen though!
Agree Todd seems much nicer,maybe cause he doesn’t sook like his brother. Ricks problem has been when ever he has stuffed up he never takes responsibility for his actions.I saw Rick once here too at the races walking through the pits no one walked up to him then either ,I don’t think even the Holden fans like him,when ever I see Russell in the pits he has a crowd around him and nothing is too much trouble for him to sign.

Ok Andrew how many remote Kangaroos do you have,you got them out a little early Crash Bandicott wasn’t out then,you had better get it right tomorrow.
Right I am having a quick wip around to see how much money we can raise to pay Tander to shunt Skaiffe off tomorrow ,
Russell never qualifies well never mind ,long day tomorrow though.
How did your rock sale go today Andrew!

Cobra 045,do you have a mate with a green XR6 Turbo with a GT wing on it ? I was talking to him this morning at the local supermarket, he says he has a mate that has a XC Cobra that has just ordered a BF Cobra and has matched up the numbers, you I am thinking……?
I was talking to him about his wing and how he got it,cause you cant order an original from Ford unless you have a GT !
Vote:October 6th, 2007 at 7:33 pm
Thankyou Winterbottom. I was dreading to see a Wankingshaw front row, awesome lap, only a couple of 10ths off Handbags 03 effort. Tander looked a bit sour, haha, but he always does when he isn’t winning. Calling it “just fluff”, what a load of crap. He doesn’t say that when he gets pole.
I wish they’d showed Skaife’s face when Winterbottom crossed the line with a green box, lol.
Hope we score the win tomorrow.

rocks didnt sell so i guess ill do my own dirty work hey?
yeah that was me with the remote roo’s alright!!! i put a rock in their pouch but the “throw rock” button didnt work GGRRRRRR its ok ill fix it tonight
yeah tander only calling it fluff?????? he would have been jumping off the ceiling if he was fastest. i think he ran out of things to blame so he went with the “i didnt really want it anyway” line

Hey Me check your email……..we have something from our mate,Nik {from the M3 post}I thought I would post from here as what he is going on about has nothing to do with BMWs anyway. What has he tried to prove by sending us the link? We already knew the bottom end is ex US ,but that said it doesn’t make the engine a 5.4-litre Triton,its a 5.4 BOSS. We in Australia turn it from a 3 valve per cylinder to a quad cam ,the boss has our heads,manifold and cam shafts. So what was his point? How has he gained any credibility from this little exercise?
What was gold is that Alborz has banned him from posting now,that was GOLD! He must have been real out of line to get banned.
