No point in me choosing.
Rotaries are banned from racing as the V8 bogans didn't like losing :lol:

Very true J&C rotaries seem to dominate just about every class they can compete in.

No substitute for the sound and power of a V8.

Yeah J C! Am definately a huge fan of rotaries (despite being put down constantly by fans of the push-rod engine), it's amazing how under developed they are as engines! That 787b Le Mans winner was awesome, has to be my favourite car of all time! A shame they banned it...

RE: Re: RE: Holden VS Ford

I thought it was that they banned turbos and the rotisseries just couldn't get enough power without them?

RE: Re: RE: Holden VS Ford

13B peripheral port, 2.5 exhuast.
124db @ idle hahahaha
Ear piercing under throttle but ya gotta LOVE IT

Fords sierra ran turbo's, along with skylines etc.
Its just a conspiracy. There was no competition while mazda was dominating

Giddy Up Magpie.

[Retic]

I loved it when all the V8's were being beaten by everything so they just banned them all. :lol:
Now it is just a race between 2 big Yank tanks.
I love rotaries, here's one of ours. 588cc's, 145 hp and a top speed of 330 kph and no turbo, WOOHOO.

 

[jessop]

miss em

Definately miss the 'olden days' of bathurst! Jags, Chryslers, Mazdas, Mini's, etc. Was never the same after it became an exclusive Holden vs Ford...

RE: Re: RE: Holden VS Ford

The only thing Holden or Ford in the V8 Supercars nowadays is the shell. Give me an old HG, HK, HT Monaro anyday, and I'll be as happy as a pig in poo!!!!

Cheers Rossco.
