Not corvettes!! Full body, steel bodied and basically a V8 supercar in a Monaro shell with a production engine that was never made available for sale in Australia in these cars. Still great effort from the whole team to get a 1-2 finish and be on the same lap at end of the race, its just amazing when they unleash at the end.
@Tim5668 Yes nissan used the rules in their favour as holden did here, well done to nissan motorsport and Gibson for their success in the group A era. Taxi's? yes we have good taxi's haha. But I do believe they had plans to release the car for sale but GM politics was an issue.
Do I detect sour grapes? I think so. The world over there are different sets of rules that suit certain cars at certain times and if Holden wanted to make the most of the rules back then that's fair play to them. They produced a terrific race car and some terrific racing. Anyone can build to the same rules. Oh and the road car has been a big success in many countries. You clearly don't know much about cars if you think it's sh*t! Have you driven one? I have, here in the UK, great fun, great car!
@pacman599 in a 24h race, there are diffrent classes. The Porsches, for example, are in a diffrent class, so they don`t race against each other. Thats why they let them pass (blue flag).
@ucwepn In that case I can think of numerous engine/body combinations from numerous manufactures that'd do the job too.. some might say better... Imagine the uproar from the Holden bogans then... did you say great effort when the Gibson Nissans were destroying the taxis?
@matjencharli I think so too. Tracks like Bathurst and the infamous Nordschleife are pure 911 territory. Without restrictions by the officials Porsche would win every single race on these two tracks.
