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.
