An engine shows up in a box, gets plugged in, gets used til it is out of pre-determined life, gets unplugged, put back in its box, and back to KRE it goes, replaced by another one. It makes all the Holdens as competitive engine-wise as one another. So rich teams can't outspend everyone else... |

Standard start procedure, before anyone chimes in and whinges about all the noise.
Worth noting that they're not even close to 100% throttle, banging the rev limiter. |

Not sure if the gearing suits the engine.. or the drivers were getting used to the revving nature of the engine, but there seemed to be a few fluffed changes... And the Sandman didn't seem to be handling as well as a regular Commodore CotF... |

Nothing quite like a V8 to be honest.
Sadly time waits for no one. |

Those Cadillacs wont ever be seen racing outside of the States as its basically a factory effort that pays lip service to possibly selling customers cars in the future. That will never happen.
