It can be deduced that the Commodore has lighter bodywork support panels, as you can clearly see the composite rear firewall and composite rear bumper support panel on the number 21. The Falcon and Altima runners know they constructed their cars with steel in these areas, and have reasonably added 1+1 to make 2.




They also know the commodore is using a composite roof and composite rear hatch, while they know their Falcon and Altima are using a steel roof and steel bootlid. You may recall that cars such as the BMW M3 have a carbon fibre roof option available at considerable expense to lower the COG. Again the Falcon and Altima runners are adding 1+1 to make 2.
