As it stands, the Shannons car is a WP chassis. It was slow last year, and the year before. So there's a good chance it wont be on pole this year.

I'm referring to next year.

It remains to be seen.

Perhaps they'll wheel out a fifth Altima for next season's Shannons game show... if there is one. Baring in mind, one of the great freedoms they enjoy right now, is only being currently tethered to a manufacturer by sheer convenience.

Does grouping still exist? It's been mentioned publicly that 888 share their data with Tekno and LDM. But they don't seem to be penalised at all.

So if Ford or Holden wanted to go down the 4 valve V8 path what have they got to choose from? Ford have the 5.4 ltr Coyote engine. Do GM have any 4 Valve V8's in their line up?

Couldnt agree more - the fact that V8SC is more like the Suzuki Swift series has me on the edge of my seat

Don't think so. The LSX (as used by HSV, Corvette, Camaro, Cadillac etc) and Vortec (Chevy Tahoe etc) are both pushrod V8s.

No longer in production, and why would they want to anyway?
