I'd heard a rumor that there was a fairly decent whack of cash (beyond buying and fitting the parts) required to bring a new manufacturer into V8ST?
Interesting that the TV3 article suggest Toyota are playing Switzerland... Isn;t there a significant amount of "Toyota" money going into one series and simply the offer of parts if you want to buy them to the other at this point of time?

Wouldn't you just modify the body panels in a similar sort of way to the way V8SC and V8ST make the Falcon and Commodore fit around their chassis?
You do make some other interesting points though re: engine and aero parity...
