GTP WTAC Week 21 : Battle For OZ
*** Oz. The Land Down Under. Australia. Known to some as a former British penal colony and to others as the home of two pretty cool aboriginal inventions, the boomerang and the didgeridoo. One's initial thought would be that this Commonwealth country would share similar automobile passions as those in the British Isles. But they actually have a deep love of big, burly American V8 engines. Ford and GM have been competing here since the 1960s for automotive supremacy. I had wanted to use a Holden car, but Polyphony Digital removed them when porting GT4 into GT PSP. It would have been ideal to have an HSV (Holden Special Vehicles) against an FPV (Ford Performance Vehicles), but that is simply impossible. But we can still - sort of - recreate the Oz battle here for GT Planet's WTAC. GM/Holden will be represented by the 2004 Pontiac GTO 5.7 Coupe, which is basically a rebranded Holden Monaro for the North American market. For the Ford side of things, I chose a 2004 FPV F6 Typhoon - which, oddly enough, is a very well-received I6 in a land of V8 lovers. So, try to be inspired by the speed and power of the native kangaroo, but don't think of pavlova - that actually originated mostly in New Zealand! ***
