A Ferrari for our V8 Supercar series!?

I want to buy a season pass just to see it every other weekend fly pass me but I know that the Italian Stallion carmaker won't be interested in the series. (I would gadly eat my hat if I see a Ferrari in the series)

Well since Fiat and Ferrari and Chrysler are part of the same family, a 300C with a 458-based engine under its nose would be an opportunity

Well, good luck for Fiat/Chrysler on convincing Chairman Montezemolo to lend an engine for V8Supercars...

Is this a GRM rumour?

Chrysler 300 might make more sense.

The Alfa Romeo Giulia will take around two years. I guess that the Chrysler 300C will be released before.

was probably more thinking of Alfa and Lancia, but seeing how you bought up the Ferrari

No seriously, another Ferrari fire

Lets face it, if one Manufacturer week in / week out continually dominates the series, the "P" word will be mentioned in these forums. I can here it now.

A one make series is only the controlled Chassis and even that isnt from one supplier/manufacturer

I dont care eitherway, I cant wait, change it great, ive been following for 40 years and watched many changes, time evolves and so should this series. Its the best thing thats happened to this series for a long time.

That argument went out the window when T8 dominated with a ford, and then a holden the next year.

If one team is dominating, the rest need to pull their finger out!
