They are underpowered for the weight. Plus they have ABS.
TCR-style (as in a road car modified with race suspension, roll cage, racing gearbox)
but with rear-drive twin turbos V6s/I6s (and/or V8s with or without turbo), and a H-pattern gearbox would be
fantastic.
It's a bit of a pickle that some of the cars, like the Mercedes C63 don't actually come with a manual in the road model. Which would be a pickle to homologate.
I personally wouldn't them to all paddle shift (like TCR) but unfortunately that is how it might have to be. :/
IMO, it's really important to move away from abstract V8 or turbo Altimas (aka Maximas) or Commodore (aka Vectras/Insignias), and use
performance cars that you can actually buy (that you need to be a banker to buy one, is besides the point).
To this end it may be necessary to ask Holden to leave the championship TBH, as a rear drive V8 Vectra is all a bit abstract... It
wouldn't qualify for the "TCR-SuperSaloon" (say) anyway as the road car Commodore is not a V8 or twin-turbo rear wheel drive.
