    It was beyond a pleasure to get the call for this one, guys! Thanks so much for having me on your channel and letting me share so much detail about my Torana.
    Love seeing other people enjoying what this one is all about, and hopefully it helps to inspire some other corner-carving modified street car builds. 👌😅

    I really can't stress enough how relieved I feel to see a car built for corners. There is a limit to how many 2000hp missiles this little black duck can cope with on the cover of Street Machine.
    Fantastic job Heath, I rank this equal to Howard Bells SLR 8000.

    I was bemoaning up at Summernats this year that it seemed like every car there turned up on a trailer. Then after checking out Heaths car in the Top 60 pavilion and seeing how sweet it was, I was amazed to hear that he drove the car up from Melbourne. Was that the only Top 60 car to not have turned up on a trailer? That is a tribute to you, and as Luke says, what a car! Fantastic 👌Great coverage as usual guys.

      @deankdx anything else I add tank-wise would ruin sleeping in the car... the way I've made the rear suspension does encroach on some of the rear floor shape... you don't get much for nothing on a smallish car! But yes a forklift bottle could be arranged in a pinch. The sound of the car seems to get better and better as the temper of the stainless has changed and/or the mufflers have filled up a bit. The sound is pretty unreal! hahahaha
