Pontiacs no longer a brand and Chrysler owned by Fiat. Mustangs sales going from strength to strength. Kind of says it all. Eddie

It would be harder still to post pics of the 2011 Pontiac or a Chrysler that didn't have a chassis inherited from another car manufacturer.
A brief racing history of Ford;
Le Mans 3 or was it 4 times
Basis of a Formula ! engine - winning innumerable times
Trans Am 1970
Rally wins - too many to mention
I'd rather see people driving Fords, GM, Chrysler, VW, Mercedes etc than a Toyota.

All that history and they still couldn't manage a podium finish at Bathurst.

In the world of racing, Bathurst is very small beer despite what most Australians may think. It's dying a slow death from parochialism. I believe there are plans afoot to run it as it used to be run, as a race for production cars. Now wouldn't that be interesting. It would certainly attract more viewers in my modest opinion. I can't wait to see a Chrysler SRT running out of brakes at the end of Conrod Straight.  Eddie

Like Pana said the other day,Imagine the attendance with 9 hours of muscle cars as opposed to the same cars running around,the only difference being the engine and the badge.

Wonder if anyone in V8 supercar land put 2 and 2 together like many have posted on facebook and V8 site that the HSV ad ran during the telcast just showed how removed the HRT Race car and the HSV road car are...

Bring back the old racing...And proper tracks not streets..:thanks:

So it should have been really easy for a Ford to win the race.

V8 Super cars is a business not a sport. When one make is winning too often then they change the rules or swap the drivers. This is a quick fix to keep the mug punters interested in what is basically a dying series. When you only have two brands racing against each other, you can't have one brand continually winning. This year it was Holden's turn. Who knows, next year it may be Ford depending upon who's calling the shots at head office. Anyway, one things for sure, we'll never see a Pontiac or a Chrysler win it.  Eddie

Conspiracy theory!! - Cue the Twilight Zone music!

No conspiracy theory, just facts. The people running V8 Supercars are business people who are in it for the money. None of them, to my knowledge, have ever driven a car in anger on the race track. Like all sport nowadays, it's been corrupted by money. Time was at Bathurst, you could virtually turn up as a "Mum and Dad" outfit and race. There was even a chance you might win something. Now, millions of dollars are spent by teams on a two make series which has, like Nascar, become a joke. The cars are so similiar, they could have been built in the same workshop. All in the name of "entertainment". Just my 2 cents. Eddie
