Sorry if this is a repost. You Tube's Ultimate Car Sounds Volume 1. The Pagani at the end is the go for noise, but what they really need is a sixties F1 car with open bellmouth snorting Webers :-)

Default Immaculate XA coupe.......................not

Who wants it !.............. not me.
I can't believe people are paying so much for these things in this condition.
Yes, I know they are arguably the toughest looking falcon, and I love them, but come on. It will be interesting to see what it finishes at.

I was hoping it was the Falcon GT! I hope the Aussie Top Gear will be good.

I don't know Jeremy Clarkson fits into his GT40.

I would love one as well, however, the length of ownership of the gt would be inversely proportional to the length of ownership of licence.
