Ok guys here is a car I used to have many moons ago and I wouldn't think you would have many over there . mine was same colour and 4 door but please note not actually this car . 
These are Australian and Kiwi made Ford Falcons and mine was a GT with not quite this much horsepower .
 
 
The XA , XB and XC Falcon coupe's are the same car that Mad Max had and there is some links below to show them .
The John Goss special I would lob off my left testical for and unfortunately doesn't have sound  .

It's great to see a burnout at high-speed like in the first link.  Also, the last link is quite hardcore!!!!

I wouldn't say yours was slow , these guys remove weight from the rear and pump there tyres up to 40 PSI and then some to get the smoke out , there is a rule that no oil or lube is used on the rear tyres .
Burnout comps are very big here and there is good money to be had sometimes $20 thousand kiwi money and more assuming you win .
Ok here is one more link of a raining champ kiwi dude in a MOPAR he is a legend

I think if your willing to give a certain body part in trade you may want to wait for a Superbird.

But I do have a spare right one to lob off ( they don't get used as much these days been married 20 years ) so if anyone wants to accept a "small sack" in payment it would actually be this factory "one of three" car I would purchase .

Amazing a 4-door car used for racing, must have had kids and groceries to bring home when the day was over.

You are not far wrong Chris and it is strange to have a 4 door race car .

This is back in the day and its a similar situation too to the big winged Daytona Chargers etc that got canned or the Hurts rental Mustang racers were it had to be a off the factory floor car too race and these were deemed too fast and powerful for “Joe public to have on the road , hence there was only 3 or 4 ever made . I still like the two door better and the “lines” wouldn’t go far from the Torino’s ones

For those of you who can't see that video...there is motorcycle burning out in the bed of the ute, which is doing a burnout on the back of a flatbed truck, which itself, is doing a burnout.

That's how that's done. You cannot top that. End of story.

Well maybe have an RC car doing a burnout on the seat of the motorcycle. That might be overkill, though...

edit: for Xhibit fans...

YO DAWG we heard you like burnouts so we put a burnout on your burnout on another burnout so you and your burnout can burnout while you burnout.
