P.S I had a Holden HQ Kingswood back in 1986 and it wasn't the best car I ever had!
Sadly the XC 5.8L were a slug. I love the ZH Fairlane's tho.

HQ with 202 auto were just total crap, manual 202 is much better, but for a big car they needed a 253 at least, where did you see 200 XA-B Falcons they were mainly 250's. you have to put good shocks on them GT 130 Monro at least or they are rubbish.

The old 245 and 265 Hemi 6 were good performers with a 2 barrel carby if tuned right and the ADR27A on engines were better tuned than the Holden and Falcons. The 215 Hemi 6 was rubbish.
