Ford XR6 Turbo VS SR20 Powered Holden TD Gemini

[@vtwindad1549]

Let's face it the Gemini and the Gemini driver made it a fairly one sided race 😅 going to need a 700 HP Falcon with better tyres and a driver that knows what they're doing to even have a close race with that little Gemi

[@sollydogg]

Need more than 700 hp to make up the 700kg difference

[@vtwindad1549]

@@sollydogg yeah maybe. 700hp and decent tyres on a Falcon will get you into the 10s no worries though

[@MrTroytroy]

@@vtwindad1549- not on an unprepped road. The more power - the slower they go. Heavy car, too much torque, skinny tyres, driveline not suited to dig racing

[@MrTroytroy]

Although very predictable results - it was still curious to see how slow the XR6T is with mods on the street on street tyres. Nearly impossible to get a good 60ft, yet incredibly easy to get a nice dyno number.

[@gemi_dave]

Another tough Gem. Would love to see Beau and Corey go head to head

[@randomdude4669]

Not really surprised a fairly stock heavy fg with less power and shit tyres lost

[@smithy2]

I own both a Gemi and Falcon (xr8) but p/w the gemini was never going to loose 🤙 Not 200kg, try 650kg give or take 50kg, gems 950kg odd falcon 1700odd kg

[@gemizu4874]

Damn that's the best sounding SR on the internet for sure.

Gemini just left him for dead

[@mustangautoparts]

Awesome video, team! We're excited about the next release :)

[@stephenfield1612]

Gemini all the way. Yew Goes hard. I noticed you guys said the winner was a VC Commodore. Not quite I believe Gemini is better

[@lodestone69]

I'm a Ford guy and even I knew the Barra was never going to get that Gemini. The Gem had more hp in a lighter car, its a no brainer.

[@benthompson3732]

Sweetest Gemini I’ve ever seen

[@just_passing_through]

That TD needs its headlights swapped over to the rectangular ones which came on my TD Wagon. It’ll take 10 seconds off your time. 😂😂😂

[@kiwi8.]

That was a odd match up a heavy family car with little mods racing a much lighter big buck set up race car

[@sollydogg]

Mildly modified falcon weighing 1770 kg with only 500 hp vs 600 hp 1000 kg Gemini not a very good comparison the falcon would need at least 800+ to make it interesting

[@johnkirkilis34]

Luv those Geminis miss those cars. Like the colour suits it.

[@simonilett998]

The Gem looks like it's a TC, unless the grille and headlights have been changed to TC? TD Gems had large rectangular headlights, TX and TC of this body style had the round headlights🤣👍🇦🇺

[@beaum4137]

Some td's came out with the round headlights and this is one of them

[@simonilett998]

@@beaum4137 Ok, yeh cool, I see the difference between TX, TC and TD now I've compared all 3 together, the horizontal grill bars are definitely TD, whereas TX had kind of like shark teeth grill, and TC had kind of like dog lips grill. I'd never noticed before, and most TD's I've seen had the rectangle headlights, although maybe I had seen a TD with round headlights and thought it was TX or TC.🤷‍♂️ I have a TE wagon that I've owned for nearly 30 years, but that falls in the next body series TE-TG, after TX-TD so quite different.👍🇦🇺

[@beaum4137]

Haha yeh mate I get alot of people asking my why it has round lights I think the majority or them were rectangle

[@simonilett998]

@@beaum4137 Didn't realise I was talking to the owner himself, great racing mate👍 Yeh, I'm guessing maybe it was just GM doing their usual thing using up the parts from earlier models, or it could be to do with lower or higher trim levels like S, SL or SL/X etc having different lights etc. Either way, it's a sick little monster you've got there🤘👍🇦🇺

[@beaum4137]

Thanks mate. Yeh something like that I'm not complaining I much prefer the round headlight front end👌

[@benporter964]

I had old school tx gem when I was young bloke for years miss that bus looked like small torri ended up with slr 5000 bigger version gone to 😒 really miss that bus now rocking a vx commodore just got him ready for the mods 🤑😜

[@robertaustin6940]

I thought the TD has square headlights?

[@felixmatt34]

Gem is a weapon

[@germanshepherdlover2613]

More power and half the weight!

[@denselvq]

go the gem

[@highdefdirty1109]

Still waiting for gemini prices to go up 😢

[@espjem2474]

Not really a fair contest. Maybe you should match up a turbo cosworth mk1 Escort against that Gemini and see how it goes then.

[@beaum4137]

Where is this escort? Hit up the boys from oztorque to line it up 👍

[@espjem2474]

@@beaum4137 if I had one I would. Doesn't have to be an escort either. Plenty of other cars they could put against that gemini to make it a fair contest. Don't get me wrong, that gemini is a beast but would just like to see the man work for his win...

[@sektion9076]

Another banger episode guys!

[@goz7569]

Gem the beast

200kgs lighter 😂 More like 500kgs and more power.. Not a even match up at all boys.. might need to sort that out in the future as best you can.. nice cars tho

[@peterhoulis1184]

GO HOLDEN !!

[@ScottWatson-w4g]

i love the comment at 3:50min....... lol...

[@blairread4414]

Falcon = on THE b

[@moe2470]

Power to weight.

[@lukeancill8470]

Lets face it just another holden powered by NISSAN

[@OZTORQUE1]

Nothing wrong with that :)

[@Phoenix4montana]

Lol cringe Nissan in a Holden just goes to show you it was really a Nissan vs a ford

[@definitionmedia1130]

Falcon exues is all they have 🤣

[@Youngie42023]

What a surprise the lighter car on slicks wins, not the greatest comparison.Get the fg on slicks might of been a bit closer and a better watch!

[@mushy1983123]

I don't think even slicks would of even helped the barra he needs maybe another 60kw might be interesting

[@Youngie42023]

@@mushy1983123 yeah for sure maybe some E85 aswell and it might of been more interesting

Bahahaha but hole hurt Barra girl. Sucked in a 4cyl smashed ya Barra.

[@bigguy49b]

Of cause Gemini is a lighter car

[@definitionmedia1130]

Why do these falcon boys think there so good.

[@hogtownhenry]

Because they are. It's a no brainer.

[@definitionmedia1130]

Barras are slow as shit top end you can spend a house and you won't be going fast top end.buy JDM if you want top end.

[@hogtownhenry]

Please explain! 185mph/4100lb/7's. I guess you're right.

[@hassansabbagh310]

Big boost for only 600hp 39psi

[@beaum4137]

Yeh that's through a auto with a 5k converter. Easy 730 through a manual

[@batmanlives6456]

The only valid use of a Gemini is to fill it with cement and utilise it as a boat anchor ..
