partyjase Regular Location: melbourne Registered: June 2002	Re: V8 Supercars Tue, 15 October 2002 03:22 the prob with having toyota and mitsu in the v8 supercars basically revolves around the engine. both manufacturers don't have anything that resembles a pushrod v8 hence from cost perspectives isn't wise to develop an engine for racing that then has no relevence to their product lineup. same point can be made for making them rwd. would have to modify the floorpan too much to make it work. suspension wise both ford and holden are going to be running common front ends due to 'project ford(blue)print" and as always rear end will stay a live axle. mitsu and toyota could be accomodated if holden and ford were prepared to move to a dohc engine, but the is no way anyone is gonna let that happen becoz of the lack of marketibility and the cost of developing a new engine and then the associated problems of having to have 'parity' between potentially 4 different engines. but hey... i would like to see mitsu and toyota in it. perhaps avesco and cockrane should have a look at the german DTM series and then see how you can have multiple manufacturers with some restrictions still lead to great racing. would be awesome to see a soarer, magna, commodore, falcon, and a few mercs and beemers runnign round bathurst!!
