the Aussie beast has gone up in value, keep it mate.
Having owned both cars (2017 Commodore SS 6.2 LS3 and presently 2023 Mustang 5.0 Auto California Special), the times would have been closer had both been auto.
And R888 tyres….
Just call it a VFII clubsport with some extra juice next time please 😭
The introductions of each bloke were almost typical of the countries they represent - overstated vs understated. I love Mustangs, but have to go for the home product.
Always Holden for life mate
Love the variety! ❤
The Mustang....no question....for me !!
Holden driver is very chill dude
Since I have moved here to Australia see these holdens every day. Looking at a Ute version for myself I love them.
That Holden blew my eardrums out 🤣 had my earphones in lol big mistake 💯😂
R8 GTS?That's an oxymoron..Unless they monged the badges when they exported it for the Poms?😂
I think you need a Australian driving it lol 😂
American muscle hands down!!!
The sounds are monstrous 😮
Holden LSA ftw 😎💪
This is as awesome as it gets 🎉🔥🔥
Love my Holdens but that stangs wild 😈
💪💪💪 UP THE GTS 🔥🔥
