Any sort of irony - that the background music (Thunderstruck) was used in an advertising campaign for the Holden SS 'Thunder' Ute??

Steering wheel is too big.

Steering rack ratio is all wrong.

Not enough rear grip

Rear suspension is loose

Understeering on the front

A monster motor needing to find a decent chassis

This is what happens when you try to turn a quasi-truck into a track vehicle

You are just painful.

A Bathurst winning GM Holden driver said he had massive fun in the FPV GS Ute that Rob has tricked out.

Your comment would have been so much better if it was just this. Oh BTW it's 'Seton'

Well done, I hope it helps drive more business and awareness of the FPV product too.

Raser,

Correct me if i'm wrong, but until fairly recently didn't the sports or racing varients usually have larger steering wheels than the standard car?

Dosen't the Falcon actually have a fairly decent turning circle compared to most race cars? Meaning you don't actually need a lot of lock to get around corners?

I admit the Rear suspension belongs under a 6x4 trailer rather than a 500+ HP performance vehicle though.
