Some footage of my stock GTV6 hillclimbing.
Feel free to make some comments. Big torsion bars and springs going in soon. Then the supercharger is going back in.

Hah yeah, they're in every croud.
The track actually cambered off badly there so it's crucial for me to jump to curb so I didn't understeer too badly.

No it's not part of Bathurst. About 400 Kilometres south of that.
