AMC BEST LETTER

Vetting the Vettes Corvette Z06 v Corvette E-Ray • This is a tale of two very different Corvettes, the GT3-based Z06 and the C8 E-Ray. AMC’s Bruce Newton and former Holden design engineer Tony Hyde took the two ‘Vettes out the back of the old Lang Lang Holden proving ground – the same roads Hyde and his Holden colleagues once regularly used to develop new Holdens – and put them through their paces.

FPV F6 Born on the wind • FPV’s F6 series in 2004 was a new and different kind of Aussie muscle car: home-grown blown six-cylinder grunt in a stylish, understated presentation and packing a performance punch that humbled many Euro turbo sports sedans with six-figure pricetags.

The mountain climber • Not only is this Torana XU-1 a rare survivor from the 1971 Hardie Ferodo 1000, but it was still competing as recently as 10 years ago – and its time on the track might not yet even be over. It’s been raced, hillclimbed, tarmac rallied – it’s even competed on the dirt. And it’s been in the one family for the past half century.

Flower power • Garry Waldon has a story that is truly unique in motorsport. He was the cut-flower grower whose racing career blossomed in the most extraordinary fashion.

Mr Energy • Terry Gaynon was never backwards in coming forwards, and for nearly three years was amongst the best-known competitors in Australian sedan drag racing
