What about the Mosler then?
You couldnt a street version of the Mosler specced the same as the one raced. Making a handful of "production" version of the Mosler hardly fits it into the production car category I reckon. If you look at their website, you can count on one finger the amount of cars that dont have racing livery. I wonder what the focus of their company is? The MT900R is purely a racing car. And sign me up for a rear wheel drive V8 Magna. Oh, cant get one of those either. Its crazy to say the internationals wont come back if our local car kicks their butt. Did Formula 1 lose cars when Williams or Ferrari have dominated? Nope. Are cars dropping out of the World Rally Championship because the Peugots are dominating? Nope. Maybe we should ask Tiger Woods to start 3 putting so he is a bit more competitive too My head hurts now

Cars are dropping out of world rally because of lack of success all the time, you would be suprised who does and doesnt have cars in WRC (world rally championship) at the moment, the V8 magna like i said before is a test car for what will be on the market in two years
The mosler is like a WR-car in that like a wrx you can get an sti or lancer an evo, but there are very few, its just they also have a cheap road version also, if you woke up one day and wanted to buy a mosler and race as a privateer you could, the v8 magna you will be able to, but the monaro? no chance, thats the difference in my mind! what you said about f1 is not entirely true either, and that tiger woods thing is a totally diffrent can of beans because now your talking about the skill of the drivers but anyway im going to try and let this go now

ernal, all those other cars you mention are built to their series regs; the Mosler is a GT Sports Car (and even if it's being produced in limited numbers, that's still a huge difference to the one off Monaro), the V8 rwd Magna is a Future Tourer and is allowed to fit the category's control spec engine/gearbox/diff with 300bhp.
These were just 2 of the ten invited categories for the 24hr race. The Monaro is built for the Procar Nations Cup Category.The 24hr race was simply its debut in the Procar Nations Cup series. have a look at the rule book for Nations Cup and then make an informed comment. CAMS 3E - Series Production Cars, my arse! It's the only car that wasn't playing by any recognised set of rules in the 10 class 24hr race. That's the problem - especially when it is built to compete in what is essentially a production car category for exotic/supercars. You can view topic.
