The engines in V8 Supercars are production based? So the Fords and Nissans are running OHC engines? And what production rear drive sedan does Nissan build. Not bashing V8 Supercsrs but they're going the was of Nascar.

Or by all means they can keep up their ratings spiral by continuing to showcase cars that look nearly identical despite recent efforts to differentiate them, powered by engines that aren't remotely related to the participating companies production car technology and that no one cares about. Good luck with that.

Good. That would presumably compel the noncompetitive manufacturers to get their shit together and build a better mousetrap.

Want me to watch Nascar? Make it production based again. They can keep the tube framed chassis but the bodywork covering it has to be a very close facsimile of a rear drive sedan I can buy. And what's under the hood of the race car can to be no more than a hand built version of the production car's engine. In the days…

The only Road Runner with a prayer to top 200 would have been a Grand National spec Superbird in which the 426 would have been well north of 600 hp. Plus Chrysler never made an official high speed run with the 'Bird, they used the Daytona. Buddy Baker drove the #88 car to 200 mph in early 1970 at Talladega then Bobby…

Without knowing a thing about the guy, one look at the picture and you know he's a good dude.

Hopefully their story on Ford's plan to kill the V8 is equal BS. I know Ford has denied it, but with the GT and Raptor both being Ecoboost powered it had the ring of truth.

Just found an article on it. A 1 of 20 hemi/4spd Daytona that's been restored but has the original drive train and bodywork (minus the trunk floor). That's several hundred grand more than I'd have thought that it was worth. Without looking anything up I could swear I've seen hemi aero cars sell in the 300-400 range…

Was it one of the Grand National cars or a production version? If it was a production car I wonder what made it one of one.

I will. Stop by Oppo Friday morning. I'm off work that day so was going to put up a post to get reaction on a couple others I've done recently, one of the '68 Trans Am championship winning Donahue/Penske Camaro and another of Moffat's '69 Boss 302 that won 101 races out of the 151 it took part in. Would like to hear…

I'm doing a painting right now of Bobby Issac's Daytona Charger, a race car that had the best aerodynamics money could buy and a gigantic superpowerful engine and set the world's closed course speed record at Talladaga, which it held for 12 years. That speed? 201mph. 3 mph slower than this family sedan with AC, stereo…

"A 1985 CRX Si is aerodynamically limited to about 130 MPH".

This just reaffirms my inadequacies. Damn.

I don't want it canceled. I just wish they replace the two who aren't Faust and give me a watchable show.

I like Faust. The other two are unwatchable.

At first I thought they were Texas flags and I wondered why the hell they were wearing them. Finally dawned on me what they were.

2: Use the side mirrors. Pretty sure the car has two, that's why they're there.

Thanks Force India for ditching the best livery on the grid. Boooo.

The video says it was filmed in the land of waffles and the US so I'd guess one has made it here.

The black hood on the yellow car looks terrible (like they were just to lazy to paint it) the silver upper and lower grills look like cheap plastic, the price is insane and we all know it won't be anywhere near as quick as that claimed 627 hp should make it.
