how will GM going bust affect V8 supercars?

**ari666** · 10-05-2009, 10:08 AM

will holden have to design their own engines now?!?

so does that mean that supercars MAY turn watchable again?

or are they just going to use fiat engines LMAO

I doubt it will have any impact.

They run 5L motors (Highly Modified) in V8SC, so it wouldn't matter.

The ute series would be more effected.....in terms of mechanical shortfalls.

as vztrt said they don't run the same motors, dick johnson, larry perkins and 888 engineering make the motors for alot of teams.

gm needs to get rid of alot of bagdes, they have 40 brands of car.

thats just insane

**ari666** · 11-05-2009, 12:55 PM

maybe they should rebadge them all as fiat?

oh god that would be kewl! imagine driving around in a 6 litre fiat punto!

**greenfoam** · 11-05-2009, 12:59 PM

They run small block chevs, still there's enough 4 inch x chev small blocks out there to last the teams several hundred years

DTM style is the only hope.
You could almost make them into nascars now. Use the shells of the makers and engines but leave it to the drivers. Ad Toyota Nissan anyone else give it some life.

Probably the deal between Fiat taking over Opel.....no idea what it has to do with Holden....perhaps it was a joke.

holden builders already have to shorten the ve to comply with the rules, they are so distant from road cars anymore its stupid. whatever happens there will be holden and fords racing coz avesco make money from it.
