Just looks like another Holden / Ford to me they all look pretty much the same.

The engine sounds pretty good I wonder how parity will go they may have to add some weight to slow it down.

Looks like the whole engine package will be lighter so I don't think it's just a matter of limiting its output. It'll be interesting but they've been doing parity comparisons on the Ford and Holden for a few years now. So, hopefully they'll get it right. Maybe they could hire a couple of horse racing handicappers. :happydance:

Sorry it is called Shannon's Supercar Showdown  :undecided: It was the Realty TV show on 7mate which pitted 10? (11 this year) young up and coming drivers against each other (mainly formula ford drivers) for an opportunity to get a drive in Bathurst 1000. 

Last year Cameron Waters won (and crashed out in the big race) This year Jesse Dixon won and he and Cameron managed to complete the race in 20th position (a great effort for the youngest ever paring) :goodjob:

Thanks Dazz. Now you mention it I had heard about it and was aware of the pairing at bathurst this year. Just didn't know it was a TV show.
