Didn't Mr Percat (or Jerkat, as some are calling him now) race over there a while back, for some reason? Maybe there's a connection.

Also, the Altima (still not sure how it's meant to be pronounced. Is it like Ultima, or Al-Teema?) is out at Winton today. Nobody knows who (or what, perhaps) is driving it, as the Kellys, Mr Murphy, Mr Blanchard, Mr Reindler and Mr Russell are all otherwise engaged. I suspect Mr Waters might be having a blat in it.

The Nissan looks a lot more curvy in road car trim, must just be the front splitter and black paint making it look 'squarer/straighter'.

Sounds pretty much the same as the Ford/Chev motors to me.

Not a bad thing, but I expected something else...

Wonder what the Merc will sound like? It's based on the engine in the SLS GT3 which sounds like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...PRtyzsHY#t=88s

point noted, but looks like a 4wd in road trim (albeit with a decent approach angle).

full credit to Kelly racing and Nismo. i do hope it is there, or thereabouts against the rest of the feild.

I bet the basis for the induction & exhaust systems are the race tested products already attached to KR Chev engines for some years standing... hence it sounds not totally different

The incar shot was interesting.. the sound was more 'sewing machine' than ballsy rattly V8 Chev...
