My point here is reinforced in Aussie Mikes Thread (See Super Car Question on this Forum - Episode 12 on You Tube) where Mark Dutton, Race Engineer for Holden talks on the engines used in the Holden V8 Supercars. The block used is from GM Motorsport and is not offered for sale to the general public. It can therefore be assumed that the engines used by Ford are also not available for sale to the general public. More than likely they are a product that are designed by the Ford Performance Racing Engineering Department.

How can they then say that a Cobra with a compliant LS GM 6 litre motor can't particpate in the Driver's Parade because it's not running a Ford engine?

I'm still scratching my head on this decision.

After watching Aussie Mikes 'You Tube' Thread on 'Super Car Question' I am now firmly convinced that the only thing Ford Falcons and Holden Commodores V8 Supercars possess in similarity with the original production vehicles are the body shapes and that's all.
