Absolutely LOVE IT what a cool looking Monaro & it goes hard, driven hard. This kind of event is so cool & a wonderful way to see high performance mock ups from a great era in Australian automotive history, being pushed a little looking & sounding fantastic. This high performance car driving makes sense, a lot more than doing "skids" on a "burnout pad" or "power cruise" till their tyres pop & thinking their great. Love the Targa & Adelaide Classic events, so good we have them.

Nope. 🤦🏼♂️ He is _not_ mashing the pedal, because he _does_ give a fuck. He was showing good/great throttle control. That's the main reason why he was so fast. If he was a dopey meat-head, just mashing the pedal and getting off to squeally tyre noises, that Q would've been going backwards off the bitumen, at almost every bend.

Came across this link after watching the daily highlights of the 2021Targa. That HQ Monaro is superb-looking and sounding car, and it's beyond me how he can throw that beast around those roads. The introduction of the HQ was an exciting time in Oz automotive history. Just compare its design with what came immediately before!
@Dingo3932 жыл бұрын
It honestly sucks knowing that by the time I am old enough and financially stable enough, that finding a Monaro for a project car will be near impossible. Will always LOVE the sound and looks of these cars and many other V8 Holdens. Wish a company would design more cars to look like this again, even with following the V4/6 turbo trend for fuel efficiency.

Agreed 'watsisbuttondo829' . I owned a HQ coupe back in 1982 . My Dad built engines and had a 308 ci L34 spec motor under a workbench sitting idle . We built it up and slipped it in , did the usual suspension upgrades ( this is 1982 ) and it was awesome . However , after pushing it to the ton two or three times in a row with the brake fade would set in . I was such a clown ! Steve and Racheal have realised my dream , your car is amazing and your skill set pushing it is obvious . By the way , is that an Aurora engine your running ?
