SLR5000 TORANA vs JOHNSON TRU-BLU XD FALCON vs 69 CAMARO | Gulf Western Oil Touring Car Masters 2021

Ryan Hansford's SLR5000 Torana takes on Steven Johnson's Tru-Blu XD Falcon and Ryall Harris' 69 Camaro at Sydney Motorsport Park in the 2021 Gulf Western Oil Touring Car Masters Series
At Master of Machines, we love cars, in fact, we love anything with wheels or an engine, from American Muscle Cars to Australian Muscle Cars, Race Cars and Classic Cars of all kinds and even Barn Finds. If it's fast, powerful, restored or hidden away in hibernation then we'll cover it, and in most cases, we'll even drive them!

real cars and real racing, this is how it was meant to always be thanks Glenn.

[@scooter0958]

Glen thank you for showing this… I also follow these guys and never get sick of watching them no matter if it’s Ford-Holden- Chrysler…. This is true racing and will end up being Australia’s most followed Motorsport as SUPERCARS have totally fucked there racing…. I simply don’t care if these guy’s are 8-9 seconds a lap slower the racing is 10 times better……

[@andrewhireahubby2258]

Agree it’s so more interesting to watch there on the edge

[@danwils2470]

Yeah agree also it like going back to the good old days with real cars 👍🏼

[@haveric24]

yes get back to racing real cars

[@ozbusa]

So much love for these cars and guys. Such excellent stuff to watch.. Those were the days

[@CathodeRayNipplez]

I'm not a Holden fan by a long shot but the SLR/A9X is my all time favourite muscle car. RIP Holden, you guys n girls built some truly epic home grown machines and did Australia proud. (I just learnt the name Torana comes from an Aboriginal word meaning "to fly". How fitting 🙂)

[@ianbertenshaw4350]

Never knew that , often wondered what it meant !

[@OlympusHeavyCavalry]

I remember sitting in the stand there and watching the bike races one day. An ex-employee of Shoalhaven City Council, a qualified electrician, gave up his job there to be a fulltime Bike Marshal. I did see him that day in the pits, yet he was busy so I couldn't really say hello, but I did see some really nice Bikes and one, a BMW, that were due to arrive in Australia later that year. Cheers for the video :-)

[@Pablo668]

That was great viewing/racing. Cool to see a Chev, Ford, and Holden out there dicing. Great that no paint was swapped either (not that I saw).

[@ianbertenshaw4350]

From memory the bump from Ryan on Stevie caused a tyre problem , that's why the XD dropped off , I would say the tyres went off on the Camaro so the Torana got him in the end . I love the in car stuff , don't care what make just keep it coming !

[@shane4267]

Awww, those bloody gears when ya trying ta yield that absolute unforgiving beast.

[@sprendergast351]

There was a hit of blue xd in the rear vision mirror few a few laps after. Great to watch and hear.

[@brucestorey3400]

Great sound. Great pics. New diff ratio and life for this Torana will be much easier.

[@simonainscough619]

what ratio are they running there do you know cheers?

[@joehuaelwood9753]

Love the on board the sound and the way the cars move around

[@cappywa]

LOVED IT MATE. 100% Hearing that motor hit rev limiter...

[@westhenderson6587]

Just the best ....footage & sound is 2nd to none !!

[@bapcorp8303]

I was there that day, a really great race weekend

[@charlesgrieve4180]

Reckon he'll be using a taller diff gear next race at Eastern Creek, loves the limiter on the main straight 😉🤘

[@7071t6]

yep a couple of higher ratios and he will have the upper hand, but then again so can the others?

[@martinh9120]

Hey Glenn, there is one positive WFH, I get to see great stuff like this, cheers mate.

[@MAte925]

Mate that sounds ausome!

[@paulcost6446]

Got to love this, none of these cars body panels are readily available nowadays, yet they are almost kissing each other lol

[@westhenderson6587]

Would rather watch 10 laps of this than a season of f1

[@roddygogo7772]

MEMMMM REEEEEEEEES. Thank you for the video to all involved. Clean clean driving there Ryan. Chip off the old block.

[@realaussiemale567]

Magnificent engine noise and exhaust note.

[@brissiAU]

Great viewing , and thanks for not using any stupid music

[@patrickGforce]

this race are total crazy!!!Wow!

[@plonky17]

There is certainly nothing wrong with a pushrod V8 for extracting torque and horsepower across the rev range.

[@warrenheslip692]

Wild ride.

[@TheRealAdrastosURL]

music to my ears

[@Axesent77]

I was waiting to hear Mike Raymond and Garry Wilkinson.

[@GlennEverittMasterofMachines]

Those were the days!

[@frankalarcon635]

Is there a better class of racing?? I dont think so! How good was that! :)

[@twistedthrottle8513]

Had a Bathurst shell early 74 slr i put a Phil jack built 327 chev and munci 4 speed ,9inch rear ,hauled ass put 400hp down at the treads ,

[@TheGriffyn]

I love this so much, thank you Glenn !!! but i have questions. is it rigged? and if the camaro passes the tru-blu falcom so easily (impossibly?) how can a valve bouncing torana breeze past?. much as i8 love torana's, that one is struggling in topend, from the start of that race. I'd like to be able to hear the engines on the other cars

[@RestorationAustralia]

Wow well done Torana.

[@stuartpinder3807]

Real racing

[@RhythmicEye]

Wow! Now that’s real motorsport.

[@mrfrdman]

Great cars and great racing :)

[@brett174]

Liked and shared here too. Great video with the 308 sticking it to the 'bigger' boys.

[@GlennEverittMasterofMachines]

Awesome thank you!

[@xdub101]

That aint no 308. The Torana's have been running chevs in the class for quite a while which is unfortunate. The old 308's could not keep up

[@brett174]

@@xdub101 I wouldn't know about the class rules mate, sorry. Seemed to me that he ran out of diff ratio (bouncing off the limiter) that might have given him the upper hand, where I assumed the 308. I will say in my defence that the A9X's won Bathurst as did the XU1's with smaller engines. Either way, thanks for the input.

[@crunchytheclown9694]

@@brett174 gmh v8 motors have been left in the dust for many years, can still make a tuff streater though

[@crunchytheclown9694]

@Dee Pee just maybe L34 rare example

[@sirswerve2493]

Ford and Chevy.Classic!

[@gday8744]

Liked and shared 👍🍻

[@GlennEverittMasterofMachines]

Much appreciated!

[@user-pj1yi8nf9x]

Looks like the slr is running tighter lines. The big bangers would have been hard on tyres. A bit looser upfront. The XD isn’t easy to get past either

[@mattmatty4670]

Is it a chev or 308 donk. I didn't know 08 could have that much ?

[@GlennEverittMasterofMachines]

It’s a 5 litre Small block Chev power plant.

[@aussiesupersnake6642]

Wow i dont know how that torana is front running car,its a bucket of bolts,did you see the passenger door flexing and see inch daylight,i watched the one at bathurst on their own channel and the door was showing even more daylight

[@lookingoverhell3448]

mate ive got one ,they are one strong car ,,its probly had more hits than micheal jackson on those tracks , and most of its probly fibreglass

[@fastmonaro05]

Does the Torana run a HOLDEN V8???

[@petertredo6523]

Mmmmn that's racing .....

[@ibast1]

How's it got 600hp? have the regs allowed them to slot in supercar engines?

[@billspooner3792]

Was hoping it was the xd not a bloody Holden

[@colinmiddleton6316]

Revving it like a rotary.

[@johnmathisen1167]

Needs a different diff ratio

[@rebbulldesertduke]

So much better than v8 supercars

[@NoBody-ht1oh]

Driven by men not princesses

[@velocityjet1884]

REAL MUSCLE CARS, THE WAY IT SHOULD BE

[@markwaters3050]

This guy has more patience than skill. Harvey would passed him ages ago... Brock would have eaten him for morning tea!

[@VS97VS]

Go Torana 🇦🇺

[@Xmasjesus69]

Fkn awesome

[@roryalgate872]

Torana v Falcon what a fair fight.... go the big falcon atleast we didn't resort to putting a v8 in a cortina to win.

[@markjones464]

Coritna ! Now there a Dog 🐕 , Ford guys are Glad you were not running Ford raceing Division , pommy Crap Corona,

[@philkelly8031]

Half the size of the Ford or the Camaro not a far advantage anyway.

[@ISCDESIGNAustralia]

Jee-sus

[@markperkins8858]

This is great racing and I love these cars but this torana isn't a slr 5000 as far as I'm concerned as it doesn't run with a Holden 5.0litre 308 I realise it would be no were near as fast but at least it would be real the only guy that does run the Holden engine is jhon bowe unless that's changed over the last few years and he's put a chev in it now I don't no John bowe was up the front with the iron lion most of the time they should be made to run with the engine they came out with in my opinion wait for the haters now

[@bradcross2]

that was the wrong place to end it

[@GlennEverittMasterofMachines]

Camera footage ended there unfortunately. He did take the win.

[@jimclarke1108]

Not much out handles a Torana

[@gazza116]

bloody rev limiter.
