Rich07 the Australian race fan believes, just like the vast bulk of US race fans, is that the engine DNA is sacrosanct, end of story.
It's ironic that it's that same fanatical engine DNA belief that also lead to the split in the NZV8 ranks back in 2012.
Andrew Mckenzie, a dyed in the wool Ford fan, and the then Chairman of NZV8's was so upset with the V8 Supertourer one control engine [ls7] philosophy, that he decided to finance the Mitchell MX NZV8 prototype.
Perhaps its because there are now no longer any Ford engined Class1 New Zealand V8 Touring Cars running in the BNTV8 Series, that the organiser are proposing a one make GM Ls engine Silhouette car.
