Thoughts on this guys? I think the more manufactures involved the better - but that's just my opinion

About bloody time...now get everyone else in as well, V8 or not, in three or so classes from small fry to biggies, all running together at the same time...
...guess that's already been tried though...decades ago...but it worked then and was very popular (well, apart from when technology flogged the dinosaurs now and then, that didn't go down well with the bogans ), and it could work again and bring back some variety and excitement to what has become a stodgy two-horse-race... |

Man. Sounds like a bit of a risk. Didn't the category nearly go completely bankrupt when Nissan were last involved? I'll miss the days when the category stipulated that the cars had to be built in Australia.
Parity should help this time around. Keep the cars balanced so we don't have the major dominance of cars like the super expensive GTR (if the GTR was allowed in back then, why wasn't a Porsche or Ferrari?) or even the Sierra before it, and I reckon this will work. Lukeyson

Yeah it'll be fine Luke, the Nissans won't actually be Nissan at all, it'll just be a sticker pack. The series is now basically just NASCAR - same chassis, same horsepower, same gearbox, different stickers.
