[aussie_pride]

ive only realy been old enuff to grow up with V8supercars so i cant realy fuckin comment but watchin them falcon's n commo's go round bathurst is like gettin a slab of vb for free

For me it was Series Production which was run right up to the end of 1972.

You could basically walk into a dealer and buy a car that was raced at the Mountain each year. Well sort of. All of the factory teams all fucking cheated.
Thanks to this we got enjoy Falcon GTHO's , E38/E49's , Monaros and XU1's
Rules were you had to build a minimum of 300 cars to be eligible.
Group C came about after the Supercar scare in 72.
This was when they were permitted to modify the cars from standard.
It stopped the hotrods like the Phase 3 and the BigTank E49 but there were still plenty of backdoor deals done where manufacturers would build cars with good engine internals and better gear boxes, diffs etc.
L34/ A9X Torana was one as was the RPO83 XA Falcon.

Group C was great racing and the sound was awesome.
Only problem it became a homologation nightmare to keep the competition even at the end.
Thats why i perfered Series Production.

V8's are fucking shit compared these old bangers

I agree, It aint abot the cars anymore! Its about who's got the best stickers (sponsorship)
The cars are essentially all the same!!

[aussie_pride]

your right they are basicly all fords i forgot exactly it is that holden have got thats a ford part but i recon Rudolph Hess would know.

[PISSFARTER]

Its like drag racing! Everything id chev , holden , ford this and that, but most Top fuelers run aftermarket Keith Black Chrysler big blocks!!

Th touring car engines are NOTHING to do with street engines!!

[Rudolph Hess]

Dead right there.
The Chev in the Commy is what they call an Aurora. It's a sprint car engine and to make it fit in the Commy they had to make special castings that had engines mounts in them.
The Ford engine is a Ford Motorsport block with what they call a D4 head.
At least you can bolt this into anything that has a Ford V8 in it.

They both use a crown and pionion year end ( 9" inch Ford diff)
with 4 link rear end and a Watts link

They both have a double wishbone set up for the front suspension which is the same as the Falcon road car. Commy road car use's struts

They use a 6 speed Holinger crash box and about the only thing they share with the road car is the rear quarters, boot lid, bonnet, roof turret and 4 doors. If it's a Ford they also use the floor pan.
The Commy has to be cut and shut to make it fit the Blueprint rules

[Rudolph Hess]

Yeah we had to after all those defeats from the Holdens when parity and aero equality was a figment of peoples imagination

[Flamin Morry]

Back in the day the cars were Holden and Ford, they had real donks with carby's and blokes drivin em with only a pissant fuckin seatbelt, now we have 2 near-identical cars with electronic whizz bang doolackies, huge fuckoff stickers and poofters like the she-man rick kelly driving the fuckers
