If memory serves, didn't they have the big 3 incher? Old F-series units can be pretty impressive too. I had two ZC 351s, they're a nice drive. When idling has yours slipped out of Park, into Reverse? Good fun eh. Both of my ZCs were prone to doing that FMX trick at every chance

Simple proof. Went to Wakefield and the GT Performance cars were running. The Kawasaki HSV GTS of Floyd Hammered down the straight but was out braked and out cornered by the EVO 8 of Holt. Pretty definitive.
Can you differentiate for me?

It reminds me alot actually of the styling difference between an XT and XR Falcon. And no, not the '66 and '68 Falcon for the smartarses out there
I agree with your comment in relation to the Toyota Aurion, fpv_gtho. The physical appearance/looks of the Aurion are much nicer than the Camry. However, the Camry is still a relativelly "nice looking" car. I almost like the Aurion as much as I like the Mitsubishi 380. The new Camry will probably (more than likely) be a successful car for Toyota.

I like the 380 more then the Camry's new look. It's a little to much Mazda at front with was it that slight BMW 7 series I'm not 100% and a touch of Honda Accord euro there at the rear.
The Aurion is a better looking car then Toyota has ever had here i think but they just need a couple of extra things to really stamp it right on the mark. If it's a performance car then give it the real performance make over.
