Heres the thing though Splint . he sounds like a broken record . same sh1t all the time . so much so that anything 10llie has to say anymore is predictable taken with a grain of salt by most on here. Another thing too . he goes on about this and that . but its all talk aye! No ones seen any pics of his stuff or anything and to top it all off - he's selling fart valves FFS. Sorta gives you an impression of the boy, aye! Just saying .

I thought the Thread heading "BATHURST" may have kept the haters out. Go figure. Guess you got to bitch about something.

Simple people judge others on their taste in cars.
Personally, I found it far more interesting when cars were near production specs And the E30 M3 was my favourite from the last of the proper racing, little troopers they were, they showed what a properly clever company could make from a package that shouldn't have even been slightly competitive.
I don't think the addition of Nissan is going to be anything exciting, the cars are all made to meet regulations, very strict ones. The most exciting thing that'll happen is; more simple people will continue to abuse each other over supposed inadequacies in their taste of vehicles, a bit silly really.

I remember an article on the GTR Nissan - the ones that dominated with Jim Richards driving, -and they were a $500,000 upgrade from the factory settings. But the Nissan types overlook that bit everytine.
Theres been nothing racing at Bathurst for a very long time (in the Great Race) thats even remotely close to what the punters can buy.

Yes I agree. For the record, I am a bathurst fan bigtime. I own Holdens but I am a fan of the driver first. I always back Lowndes. I am also a motorsport fan on everything except drifitng.

I dont doubt for a moment that the Bathurst GTRs comprised substantial upgrades over factory but are you seriously suggesting that other manufacturers simply fielded a standard motor car! Lets get real, the DJR Sierras, Brocks 05 & 10 cars and all the other front runners had boat loads of cash thrown at them to stay at the pointy end of the field - Nissan was not alone in that.

I went to the djr workshop a few years ago and the greens tuf xe was there it was still pretty stock on the inside complete with dash ,console rear seat and lambs wool seat covers. i think thats why the atcc/v8s took off in a big way in the 70's 80's the average punter could watch the race on sunday and go to the dearlership on monday and buy something that was close to what he saw on the track.Both ford and gmh used bathurst as a huge marketing tool.I cant see how they could now with cotf.Also the whole ford v holden thing is part of the aussie pysc. You are either a ford house or a holden one,a bit like afl teams in melb or nrl in nsw its just the way it is. I dont think the it translates well over here
