You have to hand it to supercars. They're the massive bog that won't allow itself to be flushed.

I did think that, but running an actual Toyota/Lexus V8 rather than the BMW 6 they have in them makes some sense tooWould be much more interesting if the Supras would run turbo sixes instead of shortening irrelevant V8s into them.

It's a fair comment.It would certainly make sense of they would just rerebrand as V8 supercars again and be fine with it. Otherwise, the Supra built it's cult following based on being a turbo 6. Can't see a Supra silhouette running a V8 engine (even if it is a Toyota one) really appealing terribly much to rotors and especially Supra fans.
Also, I personally like mechanical variety so find just adding another V8 decidedly unappealing.
They've taken 2 years to get 2 V8 engines somewhere near parity, it'll take them a decade to work out an inline 6 turbo.Wasn't the whole point of rebranding to "Supercars", dropping the"V8" from "V8 Supercars", supposed to reflect the recognition that other engine types would soon be allowed back into the category?
Obviously we don’t want a return to the days of the Ford Sierras and Nissan's Godzilla, which had a massive power to weight advantage over the Commodore. We still want the cars to have parity. With the wind tunnel (aerodynamic) and engine testing that they're doing now, they should be able to tune/map a V6 Turbo engine to provide the Supras with an output which allows parity with the Mustangs and Camaros.

I'll be there, spent a fair bit of coin to get there too.... wont be super happy if it works out that way.If the Mustangs don’t look competitive again this year at Bathurst I’m turning it off early.
