A really awesome review of the VXR8 on Top Gear: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTneXIRCnqc

"This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by BBC Worldwide Ltd." Translation into Americanese-"This video no longer available because BBC sucks" Goddam socialists, trying to act like capitalists!

Hehe.

Its great to see international talks of V8 Supercars. Pretty much its a battle between Australian derived Ford Falcons Vs Holden Commodores. Both makes are extremely popular with all types, genders and ages. Holden and Ford Australia have a huge cult following. To be honest, I will never own either. BORING because I see 100s a day!

I have friends living overseas who love the V8 Utes more than the cars, check them out here:

Probably one of the most competitive racing series you will see - great to watch always.

As Kirbo said though, they are too popular over here for those that want something different!

If you guys like what you see with the VXR8, you should have a look at these two sites:

www.fpv.com.au

www.hsv.com.au

My favourite of them still has to be the typhoon!

I've started watching the V8 Supercar races lately, and trying to learn the drivers. I have a buddy who's from Australia, and he's always talking the series. I think Speed shows their events on Saturday mornings. At least, my DVR is picking it up for me.

im from australia and the series is big. seriously big. highlight of the season is a 1000km race which takes place in one day. oh and the HSV GTS or Clubsport R8 are serious sportcars. run sub 5 0-100 or (0-62mph) and have huge torque. really really sweet cars, nothing standard about them ay. btw hey im new ahahhaha.
