@IWrocker OK then, since you like useless trivia ;) The A9X Torana was manufactured as a limited option run of road cars. Back in the day, to race a car in group C you needed to produce 5000 of the base model (Torana) and a minimum of 500 special edition models (The A9X option). The A9X option was basically just the things that the older Toranas didn't have, and needed, for racing. The older L34 option had a more powerful engine than the A9X but that was already homologated for racing, so they put stuff into the A9X like a 10 bolt Salisbury diff, rear disc brakes, different suspension arms, etc. They also offered a super tall 2.6:1diff ratio (For Bathurst) and a Borg Warner super T10 gearbox. A mate of mine had one (A 4 door), with an L34 spec engine, it would do 90 MPH in first gear
