Maybe they are.

Point is I enjoyed Group A, and I don't enjoy modern day Supercars anywhere near as much or find it as interesting, just a personal opinion

5 brands have won in the last 5 years of COTF, compared to 3 in the last 5 years of Group A.
Those are great stats, but completely misses the point I was getting at in my post.

Compare a 1985 BMW 635csi with a 1992 Nissan GTR, a 1985 Ford Mustang with a 1992 Ford Sierra, a 1985 Alfa GTV6 with a 1992 BMW M3, a 1985 Commodore with a 1992 Commodore, not to mention the Starion's, Rover's, Volvo's, Jaguar's and Mercedes etc.. that passed through in those eight seasons as well

Now compare that with the variety we've seen in V8Supercars/Supercars in the last 8 seasons. A bit of variety for sure, but nowhere near as much.
