Some correction is needed here...
Actually the RB30 was a stop gap whilst they sourced a GM engine. Had nothing to do with not knowing how to make one.
Again, why re-invent the wheel when it is not necessary. GM is a global company just as Ford is. GM Australia (Holden) and Ford Australia both source parts locally and internationally.
See above.
It is not an Omega platform, the chassis was designed in Australia by TWR. It has styling queues from the Omega but that's where the similarities end.
Why design a new motor just for Australia when the aim is to sell our cars internationally?? LS1 made the power without the need for quad cams etc.

Actually it is not Fact and indeed brand bashing. Ford do exactly the same thing as GM do. The only difference is a Ford here is Ford in the USA or in Germany etc etc. GM is a multibrand company but none the less the same company. There is no difference as they both do the same, Ford is importing the modular engines from the USA for their 8's now and oh where did the windsor and cleavo come from??? :kick:
