I'd have to agree that they don't need to enter the supercar bracket, it would involve many years of development in an area they've not done here before and the V8 racing here could likely change before to long now that we're not building them ( Holden or Ford ), we may end up going back to smaller engine turbos in the supercars unless they're going to use the new Mustangs and Vette's :fingers:

I was thinking along the same lines. Electing to invest in such activities is undoubtedly based on ROI ie marketing value. Smart money is probably on staying within a competitive performance bracket without excessive development cost.

Tim, yes, disappointing, hey? What beancounter turned that off? :lol:

I dunno. So annoyed about that.
Stupid thing is they're still working on it. When I was there a few months ago they had the front on stands, wheels off. Dunno what they were doing but its still getting time and money spent on it.
