Webber, Power & Dixon were Formula Holden success stories!

Maybe it is not too late for Holden to get on board, ditch the Coyote for a LS3 or Ecotec V6 Turbo and have us Super Formula Holden?

In all seriousness, maybe it is a good branding chance for Nissan (whether they choose V8 or V6 twin turbo), and might be more worthwhile than their middling V8 Supercar results...?

Hmm, looks like the Nissan GTR crate engines run $35k USD which is quite a lot steeper than the $10k USD for the Coyote.

Regarding, running a modern downsized turbo would be better for road relevance and general relevance (Indycar & F1 run V6 turbos, and F2 will switch to that format too) and would have to be something Super5000 looks into, surely?
