Dunno, what happened to the link, but its something about Murphy winning Bathurst.
The 1UZ option for Toyota to put in a Camry was killed off a couple of years ago.
It was claimed that there couldn't be engine power parity.
4L quad cam V8 has a lot more air flow & tuning capability than a 5L single cam pushrod V8.
Then they said that if Toyota or Mitsubishi wanted to put a car in it'd have to be a Chev pushrod V8 RWD.
Mitisubishi actually did this with the last model magna in a lower class & did quite well. But they pulled out coz whats the point of promoting Mitsubishi if it's got another manufacturers motor & running gear.
The commodore & falcon both race with live axles in the interest of saving cost.
If they were allowed to race with DOHC motors (Chevy DOHC LS1 in the Corvette), a lot more manufacturers could be involved:
Toyota, Nissan, BMW, Mercedes, Jaguar,...
And just to correct Witzl (sorry dude), the supercars run with 5.0L pushrod V8's, not 5.7L. Neither manufacturer makes these anymore.
Also, a point of interest, the Falcon V8 brutes are actually just AU's with BA panels. Still have a pushrod 5.0L, not the boss 5.4 DOHC. Coz the Holden boys are wimps & couldn't have their "hot" 250kW pushrod being beaten by something with current technology.
I like the joke about "Welcome to the Eighties" for the alloytec V6
