I second that. (I've been driving one for 5 years)

 

[HSV GTS]

Ford Falcon GTHO Phase III

Held the record for fastest four door sedan for many years.... and it's australian 8)

It came with a 454?

 

[VR6]

That falcon looks so badass. I always thought he M5 was the first real 4 door race car but that is just so much more cool. Do you have any stats on it by chance?
