V8 Muscle Cars, a proposal

flappist · 11-09-2010, 06:00 PM

After watching the V8SC on the odd occasion and reading the almost constant threads on the "muscle car era", "real racing", heritage yada yada yada, I have thought of an idea for a possible new series.

V8 Muscle Cars.

It would be run as a support event for V8SC or perhaps independently.

There are at least two marques, Holden and Ford with maybe Chrysler.

The vehicles are actually V8SC chassis with the following changes.
1) Ford must use 351 Cleveland V8s (with controls)
2) Holden must use 350 Chevrolet V8s (with controls)
3) The body shell shapes are restricted to XR-XB, HK-HQ
Other than that all the V8SC technology is employed. The engine controls are to prevent "cheating". i.e. Use this cam, that carby, those pistons etc.

So we get to see again history brought to life without the possibility of destroying "real" muscle cars.

Any thoughts?
