Watching them race is more boring than watching grass grow...

Thanks for the info. Maybe they should have used the SS version engine. Known over here as the Pontiac G8. It must be small world considering that I was involved with the prototyping of the Commodore/Ute steering column for GM.

Sure is!

Australian Wingless Sprints are v6 powered. More a budget entry level/feeder class to 360 winged racing.

We run a 230ci Buick Motor with electronic injection, methanol etc with starter motor but still direct drive.
