I was turned off as soon as they announced the car of the future program. It will probably be a GTR but like the FIA GT one which is v8 and RWD.

Do the cars still have to be 4 doors though?

I know. I got my 4 day pass yesterday! I haven't been since 2003 I think.

I went last year but not going this year.... it's great fun though

Don't see whats wrong with keeping it just Holden and Ford.
I know the Jap fan boys has flown off their tree about it, ohhh no its Gozjilllaaaaa.

The thing they have to remember is that back in 1992 a R32 skyline, XF falcon and a VN commodore were two different beasts, Now the gap is probly pretty marginal. I say there will be some very close racing.

Oh good point I forgot about that, I think with the new rules aka car of the future or whatever they call it, all the cars are identical underneath the shell so it really wouldn't make much difference 2 door or 4 door. I could be wrong though.

EDIT:

It is not yet known which Nissan model will be used in the V8 Supercars program, although the company confirmed today that it will use an "all-new" sedan model.

if they use a 92 r32 yeah it will be close, if they use a 92 r32 with a 2010 engine , ford and holden have no chance, unless the driver sucks

Welcome back.

Times are changing, ohc smaller capacity IRS smaller costs.

No matter what Nissan bring, it will have to use a push rod V8 engine of 5 litre capacity, wheel base/track etc will have to match what the falcodores use as well (the reason the VE chassis is trimmed down to suit). It won't be nothing like the Grp A rules they raced in in the late 80's early 90's.

The current V8 supercars have absolutely nothing in common with the road going versions.

Car of the Future is even worse. Prebuilt chassis etc.
