Why no Challengers?
I am a great Challenger fan from way back and well remember Sam Posey in the beautiful green Changer number 77.
Should there be a limit of how many of one car type be in a race?

The Challengers are outdated, they still use a fibreglass body whereas the Camaro and Mustang use a carbon fibre body. Might stem from the fact that the Americans don't race them anymore and as such there's no support for them. I know you can go to Five Star Bodies (who make a lot of the bodies for the US TA2 cars) and they only offer Camaro and Mustang bodies. I might be wrong but I'm fairly certain that would be a big reason.
I don't think there should be a limit on how many cars from one manufacturer should race - I believe everyone chooses their body for a reason. I mean at the end of the day the cars are completley identical apart from the carbon body on top so I don't think it's a big deal. Maybe a lot of ex-Holden fans who are racing would rather drive a Mustang than the offering from the company who buried their beloved product.
