Well the v6 isn't 5 litres, so don't think that matters anymore?

All I could find about the V6TT was a proposed capacity limit of 3.85lt, so if the GM motor is still 3.6lt then it seems a range of capacities will be allowed so long as the motor meets the VASC power parity requirements. I don't know if V8s of alternate capacities will be allowed because the rules are hidden. |

I was just saying exactly the same thing on another forum - people are sucked in the by the 888 hype and they had their favourite media puppet Lowndes to do it - he is not good enough to be in the main team but good enough to do all their media rounds
and it has whipped people into a frenzy, old Roland would be sitting in a corner rubbing his (financial) hands together |

There are specification documents that only teams get but I actually think that VASC has been quite open about the rules for some time now, rather than the rules being hidden. |

They've opened up engine variations (max 5000cc), and bodyshapes. That's the only incoming rule change.

Again, that IS only a marketing document that you linked but all it says about alternative motors is that smaller capacity FI motors can join the existing (5 litre) V8 motors.

Again, a marketing article including a marketing diagram - not a rules set, not regulations so no point looking for loopholes in it. |

The race car version must: be powered by an engine configuration, be that 4, 6 or 8 cylinder (or other) that does not exceed the Supercars accumulated engine power output and weighted average; that is the only regulation i can find regarding engines , No where do the regulations limit capacity, its not even referred too, unless you have some other source |
