Wonder if 888 feel the same way
Was also wondering if Mr Moffat was looking to audition for a drive in #18 |

Don't know about red manaro's but I know they had white Monaro's when Ford was using red Falcon's.... Then it was white with red stripes for Torana's and Marlboro scheme's for the late Torana's and early Commodores.

GTR is talking about how a few years ago ford said, if your v8 supercar is not red, we wont sponsor you. and so triple 8 lost their sponsor
now they advertise with a red car |

From recollection, Moffat refers to the most powerful Aussie V8 he's driven. Is this true, considering his previous racecraft? Or perhaps, were the V8s from the 70s considered to be US or Canadian, rather than Australian engines?

335 kw roughly equates to 450bhp
The most he ever got from his Hardtops (& the XD) was around 400... |

At one point, he had a 'Super Falcon' like big Pete's, if i'm not mistaken, that thing was circa 600 neds?
As for the ad, to the average punter, there's a slight difference between an FPV ad directly advertising a Falcon and a race car being used as a mobile billboard appearing on TV. |

And due to lack of funding, that team went bust.
Conspiracy, due to the colour? You be the judge. |
