Thought's on this HQ Van

[HK1837]

They actually raced against XW, XY and XA GT's and were competitive (Phase II, III and XA GT). They didn't really race against competitive Monaros though as they replaced the GTS350 as GMH's race car.

They still race against hq monaro xy gt and other muscle cars today in the muscle cars masters series not as good as back in the day but it is only a six cylinder if they had put 308s in them they would have bee untouchable

and my apoligy to ziggy we are a passionate lot just some more than others hope you find your dream sandman

I think they raced against a 308 4 door HQ Kingswood (GTS sedan) in 1973.
I agree they'd have been awesome as a 308, only diff failures would have stopped them, along with the 308's early engine failure issues in GroupC LH's. They managed to sort out how to keep 308's, banjos and aussie 4spds alive for a Bathurst event by 1975 so maybe by the end of 1973 they'd have had all that sorted so no-one would have been able to catch a V8 GTR! The XA Phase IV would have been pretty cool too though.
