I'm sorry for saying it, but I completely hate and oppose the V8 Supercar format, and the cars which they race. Since when the hell have Holden or Ford sold a 5 litre V8 (which are nearly the same). Next thing you know it'll be a NASCAR clone with shells shaped a bit like the cars which they actually sell.
**** I miss Group A, instead of banning all other manufacturers and making it a closed series why not try and improve on the quality of Australian cars? It makes Australians look like sore losers, just because we couldn't build a car to match the mighty GT-R.
These days the reality is that the Ford I6 Turbo's are better than their V8s, but we insist on keeping this relic series alive
EDIT Off topic: And just to think, the VN was set to feature the Nissan RB30/ET motors until Nissan put the price up (Buick nearly wasn't ready, which is why the series 1 was so rough). The RB30ET which was better than the VL V8... what kind of crazy world would we live in if they dropped the 5.0L all together or made a good enough deal to get the RB26DETT in some form of super Commodore.
