There’s just nothing quite like the sound of thundering V8’s ripping around a race track. Sure turbo-4’s and well-tuned V6’s sound ok, but bang for the buck, gimme a horsepower thumping push-rod V8 any day of the week. This video was shot down at Australia’s Bathurst Raceway as part of their Touring Car Masters road race. Vintage Chevrolet Camaro’s, Holdens, Ford Mustang’s can be seen doing battle in what some would consider the best kind of racing out there. This was no exhibition race either, as all of the drivers were wringing the snot out of their rides. Remember, these are 40-year old muscle cars that are clad with leaf springs out back and carburetor-ed V8’s up front, yet by the performance they’re displaying you’d never know it. Click through for the video and get ready to enjoy 15-mins of the best fender to fender vintage road racing that you’re ever likely to see.
