So, either Mustangs carry on without Ford's backing or Supercars becomes a Chevrolet Camaro Cup - which would be terrible and unworthy of the Supercars name.
I think "technical parity" is what is stopping the category from going ahead, manufacturers don't like to be dictated to, maybe it would have been simpler to use marc cars with the 5 litre coyote and the 6 litre gen 4, then use air restrictors and the like to achieve parity, supercars seem to be off in some ideological wilderness making something that is simple quite difficult to achieve.
