@RIEKSONE yeah true. stupid skyline were too techno advanced for aussie cars. them holdens were still in the stone age compared to them... its not fair
skynet u dumb ass the reson import cars were raceing is because they stopped producing v8s in aussie cars for a few years because of the supercar scare
@timmmyj Correct - the Sierra was homologated for the 1987 WTCC so were older technology than the Skyline GT-R. The Sierra was still quick in a straight line but no match for the Nissan's AWD system.
@Skynet...It would have..Really? I couldnt even see a V8 in the video...and we saw what.... the top 6 spots?!?...I mean i am a Holden Fan myself..but be realistic please...
@Skynet2029AD lol you idiot! Commys are nowhere! the only reason they stopped or should i say banned the imports from australian touring car series was, the imported cars were to good! and all the meat head v8 fans, myself included wernt intersted in seeing their cars getting smoked by 4 and 6 cyl. thumbs up if you agree?
@mongymongmong Not only that, but the format was not able to continue because of budgetary constraints (as you would see with BTCC etc). I wish we still had the variety/excitement of this kind of racing today... :(
@ScaRau Because the FIA (who also runs the F1) was scared that this format would take over popularity from the F1, so withdrew their support... Disappointing really
@mongymongmong So it had nothing to do with the Group A category being defunct as most countries had moved on to their own rules i.e. BTCC, DTM, JGTC???
@mongymongmong I too was one of those V8 meat heads mate, but to be honest , i don't like the V8 Supercar concept at all ... only Holden & Ford ?!?! too boring . There are BMW, Porche, Mercedes & Audi V8 fans too you know !
@mongymongmong if the VL group a SS turbo was developed instead of the walkinshaw things may have been different and we would have kept this wonderfull race we had with different cars, but Holden had already begun to stab Brocky in the back. But in 2013 we will have The chrysler 300c and soon more cars, With Skaife running the show we will have our old days back !
@westeh I was aHolden fan but after I saw how they butchered the RB30 I lost the plot with them. Lets not use the DOHC version or even an RB25 or RB20, lets completely dumb it down to a single cam shit version and change the cooling system so that it suffers severely from softening or cracked heads. Holden and Ford are still so far behind the curve, it's sad. Diesel Gemini's were the shit though, lol.
@westeh Actually Chrysler are not confirmed yet but Nissan are back for 2013 people! Ever since Nissan were evicted via rule change I have been backing Holden. But I dont even have to pretend anymore because NISMO are back.
@mongymongmong Yes and no. The 4 cyl and 6 cyl were normally turbo and or sports cars. The Holden was a glorified taxi with a pushrod V8 rear wheel drive. Different cars really which was a little unfair or uneven.
no show for the sky line in the straight against the cosworth !!!!!

well if the skyline was rwd do you think it would still win
RIEKSONE 4 weeks ago
@RIEKSONE I would think so. RWD Porches still perform well without AWD do they not?
Without awd the skyline GTR would be even lighter. The car still makes a lot of power and the entire chassis makes it a welll balanced platform.
