Yes Supercars may be seen as archaic but that's what we should embrace - all this "progress" will leave a niche for fans who love big and loud petrol cars, race cars that test the driver (no aids) etc
What makes Supercars stand out amongst a sea of underpowered or over-aided race cars is the very thing we must strive to maintain.
Make the cars cheaper to run and build as always intended, loosen the rules around manufacturer permission to use body shapes etc and come what may

Hit the nail on the head right there.
Racing cars should be loud (just look at the negative impact the F1 cars created with their "quiet" engines and the efforts to make them sound like real race cars again)
Racing cars should be spectacular and outrageously more powerful than what people drive to and from work, otherwise you may as well go and watch the desperate commuters dicing their way across the Harbour bridge at peak hour.
It's all about the overwhelming sensation of watching and hearing these powerful "monsters" and drivers challenging the limits and each other at speeds unimaginable in ordinary commuter cars.
