Re: 427 Coupe = Supercar?	Thu, 27 November 2003 09:32

the 427 coupe has been cruising around all season as to get the least amount of parity. That is one reason why they were so much faster than the other teams. Another reason is that they have millions of dollars and have a professional v8 supercar team to back them up. And even with all of that Garry Rogers was complaining about his air restrictors even though the ferrari and lambo also have them. This is because they parity against the Porsche GT3. Also, Bowe only had his m3GTR for 10 days before the race. That is nowhere near enough time to set up a car for a 24hr race. Also it runs a near stock m5 engine instead of the 4L race engine. Paul Stokell's Lambo was actually a group 2 spec car which is much slower. The Ferrari 360GT was doing quite well especially in the wet when they did a 2:15.?!!!! But the thrashing eventually killed it. So the Monaro team basically had a much better preparation than any other team and that is what won it for them in the end. If anybody wants to see a more even race next year, go over to the www.procar.com.au and tell Ross Palmer. He is the head of PROCAR and is always on the forums. I think we need to let the European GT class cars in, not just the N-GT and hopefully get some Japanese GT500 cars as well. Currently the GT300 cars are allowed but the race seems to fall on their final round. sorry for the long post [Report message to a moderator]
