Really? So the motors in the BA Falcon Supercars are not bassed on the 5.4 Boss V8's (I didn't know these ones were pushrod)
|
The Ford Supercars run an engine loosely based on the old 302 Windsor. This doesn't really resemble the 302's that used to be sold here, and of course it's nothing like the OHC 5.4 litre engines available today! Similarly, Holden run a 5 litre engine loosely based on a Chevrolet small block which was never available in a Commodore.
Now consider the fact that both cars run a Holinger 6-speed gearbox (not available in any production car) and a live axle rear end (even though both Ford and Holden have had IRS for ages now) and you can see the V8 Supercars have basically nothing in common with the cars they're supposedly based on.
Of course your average V8 Supercar fan doesn't actually know anything about cars so they wouldn't know the difference. That's why the formula remains successful - ignorance is bliss!
