Default Re: which car/model changed the face of performance for aussie cars?

The Windsor engine in 5 litre form won more touring car races in the hands of Moffat than any other car in the history of the Australian touring car championship, and that all started back in 1969 with the Coca Cola Mustang. the Windsor engine has been around for a long time under many different configurations, it even won the Lemans 24 hour race which were fitted to the legendary GT40s, this is one of Fords greatest motors and they are still used today in the v8 Supercar championship. So for me the Windsor was the game changer, since its Australian debut in 1967 in theXR GT. Remember the quickest thing Holden had back then was the X2 HR Holden, quite a joke in comparism to the mighty XR GT!
