Just One More Time For All The Dummies....

[SMOK1106]

Hi all, I just thought I'd drop everybody a line after this exciting day.... I woke up at 6 am this morning, just like every other morning.... When I turned the TV on channel Seven's breakfast show, I saw a little news headline running across the bottom of the screen: ' Nissan to enter V8 supercars in 2013...' I was like...'WTF ??!?' thinking that I'd misread it having fuzzy vision as I had just woken up. So I waited a few minutes until it flashed across the bottom again..... It was that moment, at 6:04am on the 9th day of Feb, 2012, that I realised that Nissan had officially entered the very series from which they were banned from twenty years ago. This was the one of the better mornings I have had for a long time......

All day, I was wondering what Nissan is gonna bring to the table.... Just think about it, V8 Supercars with their 5 litre pushrod donk running around 600hp, compare that to the GT500 series in Japan, with power capped at 500hp, the Nismo cars all run a far more refined four-n-a-half litre N/A quadcam V8, rear wheeler, etc. I mean, I can't picture them simply throwing a couple of R35 in there with V8s under the hood - no, it's not gonna happen... but whatever cars they do end up sending the Kelly boys, it's gonna do us all proud.

I was also watching the news earlier tonight when they interviewed Mark Skiefe, he stated that having other makes enter the series will increase the audience count blah blah blah......considering V8 supercars was originally conceived after the Nissans being banned. now, they're bringing Nissans back in to help improve the series..... HA ! See the irony in that ? I'm sure they'll bring in new audience, a heap of import lovers are gonna watch the Nissans send the Dunnydores and Henry's failures packing with the tails between the legs.... You know what tho ? I would really really love to see an interview with Dickless Johnson today considering he was the bitch that lead the movement to ban the Godzillas - a real Aussie attitude - 'cant beat them, ban 'em'.

The only dummy is you.

1) the v8's existed long before the Godzilla's were around

2) a thread already exists on this topic

3) the 'nissan' is just a body shell over a controlled chassis/engine package.

4) a thread already exists in this topic
