(Former Chrysler Australia executives and their test driver, leading racer Leo Geoghegan, denied that the Charger was to be fitted with a high performance V8.

For his part, Harry Firth's Holden Dealer Team had completed virtually all the testing and development of the V8 Torana (both on and off the race track), and years later said in an interview with Australian Muscle Car magazine that "Evan Green was no friend of mine".
