There were plenty of super tidy Torana's at MotorEx in Melbourne recently. Here's a few photos to get everyone fired up on their own projects....

 

My 8 year is super obsessed at the moment. Every Dad's dream right when your son begs you to go cruising to a car show! We were able to enter the outdoor street car display which was excellent. Top event... can't wait for the next one...

I only saw one car on the dyno and that was Quentin’s GMPWR pictured above. From memory slightly over 1,400 rwHP. There’s a video of it on the Street Machine website if you go hunting.

Thanks for sharing Brett.  A lot of time an effort has gone into those cars.  Cheers Ron

I had a good chat to the owner of the green SLR in the last pic. He wanted 200k for his car as it was up for sale.

Did you see David Jones blue Camero?
Brilliant car. The induction set up is pure pornography.

Somehow I missed getting photos of the Camaro - but found these on the net;

 

You're right, it is a stunning car. Not a lot to fault here!!

Some of my other favourite cars of the event:

 

This EH really popped for me... old school triple weber powered red 202 with 12 port alloy head, yet ultra custom over the top interior (apparently Lamborghini leather), and 20x12's under the rear.
