I love watching the guys do this on street sprints. Hundred of horse powers. Much rubber. Very slow. Kids in Hyundai sprints way faster. Tee hee.Someone forgot to tell this guy that big heavy RWD cars make rubbish rally cars…
One man's trash is another man's treasure! Looks like a shit tonne of fun to me!Someone forgot to tell this guy that big heavy RWD cars make rubbish rally cars…
Hell yes. I don’t think I’d give a shit about stage times either with a soundtrack like that!One man's trash is another man's treasure! Looks like a shit tonne of fun to me!
Probably has a power steering fluid cooler that's bigger than the radiatorHell yes. I don’t think I’d give a shit about stage times either with a soundtrack like that!
I reckon that 200-300 pull was about the same as my car’s 0-100 time…Should send this to my Dad who freaked out with me doing 170 on the autobahn in a C Class
+1. If I ever have more money than I know what to do with, I'll be buying an AU* XR8 and going rallying.One man's trash is another man's treasure! Looks like a shit tonne of fun to me!
AUs are my favourite falcon - I applaud them for them being different+1. If I ever have more money than I know what to do with, I'll be buying an AU* XR8 and going rallying.
*won't have to worry about its looks being ruined by clipping vegetation. Plus I like AUs. Fight me.
You need a live axle LWB wagon for the authentic land yacht experience.AUs are my favourite falcon - I applaud them for them being different
Make mine a VCT IRS Fairmont Ghia
I assume you’ve seen the Hubnut AU in the UK?
Lol. Used to drive AU2 and BA wagons a thousand kms a week all over Victoria back when they were new and they were the fleet cars for a job at the time.You need a live axle LWB wagon for the authentic land yacht experience.
Will check out Hubnut...
My torsion bar rear-end Kia does this. If the car was IRS, it'd be awesome - but the torsion bar is arse. Probably highlighted more so by the fact I moved to it from a very sweet handling '09 Civic sedan...Lol.

Big mid corner potholes at highways speeds were “interesting” as the whole rear axle left the ground and the rear started to come around….
That’s a tuning issue rather than the torsion beam as such. It’s mostly an independent design, certainly nothing like a live axle!My torsion bar rear-end Kia does this.

...and I like to push hard in the corners.
Something wrong - they were softly sprung, but handled well for what they were.My old TR Magna "Executive" shitbox I had when I was too young and stupid to know any better either had something wrong with it or came like that from the factory but would experience maxtreme bodyroll at any turn above 20km/h. Made anything involving a bend an exercise in committed cornering.
Luckily outside of metro areas it had an inbuilt safety feature that it'd usually overheat before it understeered into a tree.
I'll have you know the torsion beam in my Kia is very similar to a live axle.That’s a tuning issue rather than the torsion beam as such. It’s mostly an independent design, certainly nothing like a live axle!
Renault Sport Meganes and Clips are all torsion beam rear end and they were getting Nurburgring records
That's when you use the bodyroll to your advantage and pull big exaggerated Scandinavian-flicks into corners.My old TR Magna "Executive" shitbox I had when I was too young and stupid to know any better either had something wrong with it or came like that from the factory but would experience maxtreme bodyroll at any turn above 20km/h.
