Bathurst Myth
Asked by John Armstrong
IS IT correct that Ford fitted an extra leaf in the left-rear spring of GT HO Falcons because Bathurst has mainly left turns? And did GT HO Falcons come out in black?
Answered by CarsGuide
15 Jan 2010IF THEY'D fitted an extra leaf it would have been to the right-rear spring (that's the one that's loaded rounding left-hand bends), but there's nothing to suggest they did. I don't believe that black was a standard colour, but I do know of one XY Phase 3 GT HO that was black from the factory. That car was a special order.
