There are so many incorrect statements in this, for example, the XR GT came out in 1967 not 66. And the A9X never competed against any GTHO’s and the only result a Charger had at Bathurst was 3rd in 1972. Plus, where is the most iconic Aussie muscle car, the GTHO Phase 3?

Well I'm going to add to the comments and state that that was the slant six not a V8! I don't know how the hell it could have gotten that wrong! The slant six is a beast of a block! Those things were light and powerful and very reliable! They were also very tunable and you could and people have done forced induction in the form of centrifugal superchargers and turbo chargers. Regardless of whether or not most of that information is correct I will say that these vehicles are absolutely gorgeous! As an American I have never been to Australia and I am kind of pissed off that more wasn't done with straight sixes in America. The straight six is a very versatile lightweight very durable reliable configuration! Not to say that I am not a fan of all internal combustion engines in all their configurations! I am a big fan of diesels V8 and inline and single cylinder! What can I say I love the classics! So I tip my hat to you in Australia and I say that you have some absolutely gorgeous vehicles and what you did with that straight six in the charger is brilliant! What I wouldn't give for one of those cars! Anyway that is my two cents and light ramble! Autism it's an interesting rollercoaster ride! I think there's a couple of other things but I'm not sure still working on that. I have some ideas but until I get some confirmation from an outside perspective I won't be entirely sure. Don't worry about me I'm all right! I am the happiest that I have ever been in my life it's just I want to know. Because if I know then I can at least explain myself. Honestly I don't mean offense! However I am brutally honest! That's why I had to say something! I couldn't let that slide! I have never had a slant six but that doesn't mean that I don't respect the hell out of them!

omg that AI voice over is so bad !, who has ever called a V8 " five eight "

The little misinformation here is that in 1972 most new cars in America were built with unleaded gasoline engines and the horsepower took a massive hit as did the performance. There were a lot of Japanese 4 cylinder cars out performing all American muscle cars.

A mate purchased a GT HO Phase III about a month ago. We've been cruising in a few times and it's a head turner. Everywhere we go we see smiles on faces - it's an awesome car.

This is what AI, does to "documentaries, makes Mockumentaries.

[svenomick]

You have got a fair amount of the information wrong the LTD and the XB GT Falcon were the first to have four wheel disc brakes in 1973

[pauljolly]

Too many errors to be treated seriously. Chronology was all wrong.

[sammy_dog]

Man I just love those Brock A9X's

[driveboy]

I still remember the "Hey charger" ads on TV

[PeterKemp]

The 427 and good handling would have made the Monaro really go

[peterbishop]

So many errors, the first and last time I will watch this channel

[rossbrumby]

No aussie muscle left the americans in the dust- either in acceleration or top speed. Ours may have handled a little better as road racing was our game.

[raykarena]

As a Gen X male I love these Aussie muscle cars, I remember them fondly

[snoopychrysler]

I'm thankful for my '72 Valiant Charger R/T... It hasn't let me down, and I have driven it countless times between my Tumwater home and the Bay Area... Even doin' shakedowns @Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca!!!

[mikfalk]

Did I fall asleep and miss the XY Phase III GT?

[marksmart]

And the Australian cars actually turned corners and stopped.

[mattwalsh]

AI, aluminum😂 get stuffed this producer...

[bitey]

I thought a five eight was a rugby position.

[pubgutt]

Turn the volume down, just watch 😎
