..highlights of the opening rounds of the Australian V8 Supercar races and despite Holden being no more it is still a straight fight between Holdens and Fords.Holden teams using the Commodore while the Ford teams are using Mustangs.

Presumably next year it'll just be Ford vs Ford (bit like Le Mans ended up in LMP1) unless they can persuade Nissan to come back..

It’s a shame that Aus Ford don’t still race the Aus Falcons. As Australia has its own V8 Ford Muscle car - with Bathurst heritage - why not continue to race them.
Nothing against Mustangs as am a massive fan of Mustangs and Falcons.

they no longer race Falcons or the Holden equivalents because neither Ford or GM could justify the costs of making specific cars for such a small(population of 24million) single market. Mopar did the same thing years ago

I guess it makes economical sense - just reduces variety.

On MOPAR, have you seen the details about the 440 super bird bought and adapted by the US environmental agency to measure the environmental impact of planes. Had a host of monitoring equipment added.
This beeper was fast enough to chase planes down a runway!
