why why!

4Vman · 02-06-2006, 01:22 PM

Is it a phase 3/ GT or just a trackcar/replica?
Looks repairable!

Daniel351 · 02-06-2006, 01:22 PM

Well it looks like a Race Car but i sure as hell hope it was a Replica

conordec · 02-06-2006, 01:22 PM

Ahh, i think that happened at Bathurst last year, its a Group Nc race car / GT replica.
I don't know anyone who'd race a genuine Phase 3 these days!

Daniel351 · 02-06-2006, 01:28 PM

no way in hell id be scared driving it around let alone on the TRACK!!!

Black XR6 · 02-06-2006, 01:47 PM

I know of a phase three in great condition that still goes down the quarter. Not track racing though.

The above car was a replica thank god!

Grechie · 02-06-2006, 07:21 PM

lucky is a replica, i would shoot my self if it smashed a real phase 3

BOSS 540 · 02-06-2006, 07:22 PM

A side on pic would be good without the fat bastard in the way!

Donut King · 02-06-2006, 07:28 PM

I took that pic, and have others.

The teams intention was to repair it, the cage did an excellent job, and if you look closely you'll noice the roof was not at all buckled.

Last i talked to them, the cause was put down to a caliper failure. I will be checking in with them shortly to see how the rebuild went.

Yep.. it is genuine and last I heard it was a genuine 500-550 hp. I don't know if the owner would appreciate being named so I won't ... but like all his cars it's weapon.

I've seen a photo somewhere of that brute in a big oppy-lock powerslide at Targa.... awesome.

to set the record straight its not the car that you think it is this car is not a GTHO or the car that runs at Targa as i crew on the Targa one which is a genuine Phase 3 with a little horsepower as XA Coupe has said .This is a falcon done up by AAA Ford Wreakers in Thomastown and is Driven by Phil Kirkam.Another thing the targa car hasnt been to Bathurst this year .The car in the picture was smashed ai Bathurst over Easter .Big Gaz s XY Phase 3 has just returned from Q land with me and another gold Xr as we where at the Musclecar Shoot out in warwick and then went up to rthe sunshine coast to Bowdens car collection

Hope this sets it straight

XA coupe did you yhink it was Gary Q s car ?? luckily it wasnt or i wouldnt be going to targa next year

Phil, I don't think anyone said the crashed one was his, rather that there was another Ph3 out there in the thick of it.

I realise that but was trying to stop something before it started ,we all know how the truth can be misreprsented and we did just miss out on Targa this year as well because of unforseen circumstances

the car in the pick is a falcon 500 from Thomastown :eclipsee_
