Default One Tough SLR5000 Torana

This is a torrie that came up with us 2 murray bridge autofest 08 which we do a bit of work on, basically its a tunnel rammed, full roller 400ci SBC, full manual reverse pattern th350 and full spool 4.11 9" diff.. Has run around a 10.4 in street trim from memory, but cause theres no close track its a bit hard 2 find the time 2 race it. Alot of time and money has been spent on this car as it was the owner's first. It is a real nice piece of work and has some of best exhaust work i have ever seen, with 2" primaries, into 4" collector's, all mandrel bends and hpc coated around the chassis rail to make changin plugs a dream, into twin stainless 3" pipes before the diff. and dummy 2" tail pipes out the back to give the standard look.

It has a slr scoop that has been split and been made twice the height of a normal one to accomadate the tunnelram nd custom aircleaner, which enclose's the carbies, looks very tough. Anybody who saw it up at the autofest will know what im talkin about when i say how nice the car is but does not stop the owner drivin it like he stole it lol..

Heres a link to a better quality link to a video that i have posted before from ben up at murray bridge, killin some brandnew 295 tyres, on a 6000 rpm limiter.. He ended up rippin the flare off in the burnout final but came away with 4th place overall... Cant wait 4 next year..
