Hi everyone, I was lucky enough to see a couple of the V8 perana capris running in targa tas today, wow those guys can drive and they sound awesome, puts my 4 cylinder to shame!
One of them is close to or leading the classic car section, giving the Toranas, porsche and the like a tuff time.

Targa update, the capri has crashed
Here is an extract from the targa website
Rex Broadbent has opened up a comfortable lead in the Classic Outright competition after overnight leader, Andrew Miedecke, misjudged a corner and spun his 1970 Ford Capri Perana into a ditch, taking him out of the event.

Here's a couple of photo's of the Capri's at Targa 2011;
