G'day all,

I preferred the XA to the XB/XC ,it was a lighter car ,had less pollution gear and a higher
compression V8 motor.
The XA 302 V8 I owned everyone said it felt like a 351,never though about taking photos of it back then.

I have always thought the Ford front steering/suspension design to be pretty awful seeing that from 1960
it did not change much up until the EA.

Drove a 1969 HT Holden for years that handled a lot better than the 1988 XF Ford.

Owned a few 6 cylinder cortinas and a few 6 cylinder Toranas ,one was a LX 2 door with a worked 186.

I remember a guy owning a Holden HZ wagon 308 V8 that spent a heap of money making it go quicker
it was still a slug so he sold it off and bought a LJ Torana 186 ,he used a performance head, manifolds ,carby
and camshaft but the rest of the short motor was stock and the car did a 13.9 second 1/4 mile pass.

Here are the differences with the RT Suspension https://www.uniquecarsandparts.com.au/holden_rts

Pic of my HT.

Cheers
Max.
