nissans should be aloud to race with the holdens and the ford

[Duncan]

mmm, beer...

some of those formula cars are tiny, eh? That's why I had to give up my F1 career, nothing would fit a 100kg 190cm bloke.n We still have plenty of trouble fitting cage, race seat and helmet into the 32 gtr.

TEGA and AVESCO were pretty clear that they were going to keep v8s a closed shop, said they needed to protect the investment that Holden and Ford have made in the category.

SO if you wanna watch more than 2 cars racing (if you can call it racing...) you'll have to watch Procar....and speaking of which its at Oran Park this weekend.

Too far to drive, but I'm off to sandown to cut laps with the maserati club. Just wish I had a decent camera. They are so swish, the BBQ is $25 and is really a spit roast luncheon to the poor among us.

Hoping the rain buggers off and I'm in the mid to high 1:20s

Search on Google, there are 100 places in America that can build you a nice 427ci LS1 from off the shelf Chev bits and I know this may be difficult to understand, but a small block engine is a small block engine no matter how big you stroke it... It isn't a big block, unless it is a big block.

Next time your are in the pit at a Procar meet, drop over to the GRM pit and I will show you the CAST IRON BIG BLOCK CHEVY in the Monaro. There are no LS1 parts anywhere near that engine.

If i'm not mistaken the first year the monaro raced the 24hr it was 7 laps behind the leading porche when it got shunted up the arse and had to retire.

Gary

tell me about Procar series, and then give us some info on the hero car...they look like Nascar tyres, but is it tubbed for drag?

[Sydneykid]

It's all on www.procar.com.au

Hahahahaha, Supertourers having fatter tubs than a drag car, bwahahahahahahaha.

Funny man, you make me laugh! You've obviously never watched Top Doorslammer or Supercharged Outlaws then, how 'bout Pro Stock?

Sydneykid, according to GRM the "Meganaros" (as they call them) run alloy four-bolt Chev blocks of the same specification as the C5-R Le Mans Corvettes. There's no cast iron in them. I'm sure if someone built a Dodge Viper SRT/10-R to the same level then it'd be a fairer fight, the problem is there's not enough companies with the money to buy Ferrari 575GTCs, Lambo R-GTs and Maser MC12 (or whaddever ya call it)

Sonic - It is called exaggerating, try it sometime, it's fun...

But there is enough money to buy at least one 550 or 575 (I dunno)
