Do you really want parity then?

[Goat Boy]

There are some out there who criticize V8ST for only have one type of engine. So here's a logical set of questions for you:

1. How much resemblance does a V8SC/V8ST/NZV8 TLX have to what you can buy at the shops? A: None at all, other than they look sort of the same.
   
2. Why for so many years were the governing bodies striving to achieve parity? A: Because otherwise you’d have one manufacturer winning everything for extended periods which would annoy a percentage of the fans. Now in SC you just get one team winning everything for extended periods (which also annoys the fans).
   
3. So if parity has been achieved in SC/TLX through engine management, what difference to the results does it make what power plant you are actually running? A: Er, none
   
4. So why not just use one engine type (like they do in DTM albeit built by different people), considering the cars are all the same otherwise? A: Hmmm, can’t really answer that in a logical way
   
5. Do you really want parity then? A: Well, okay maybe not
   
6. Then why not watch the Bathurst 12 hour this weekend? A: Good idea!
