Holden v's Ford

In regards to the V8 supercars

If I want to watch Taxi's racing eachother I'll go to Sydney on a Saturday night. I'm just waiting for the day they allow the drivers to put meters in their cars, imagine Bathurst if Tony Longhurst is waved down picks up a few patrons and drops them off at the local before continuing the race.

I think this thread has run it's course, as of late everyone is talking about non LR related crap. I think we need a decent run somewhere.

Seems you don't know what Chev diff I'm talking about, it is much bigger than the B/W Holden diffs around today, Regards Frank.

You wouldn't know a fact if it fell on you, tell the car enthusiast market out there that the FORD 9" diff is Crap and they will laugh you out of the country, Regards Frank.

How many Chev engines have EVER won anything of world significance, how many Formula I races have they won, Ford Formula 1 race engines have won more F1 Championships than all other makes combined. How many Chevs have won Le Mans or any other Race of significance, What happened to the chevs when they took on Carroll Shelby's Cobras, they even built an all alloy 396 and 427 chev (canted valve heads) to race the Cobras and they still got smacked and sent home, Back in the 60's and 70's nascar racing was dominated by Ford and Chrysler, where was the chevies, nowhere, so they changed the rules because chev couldn't win a race, which dropped engine sizes and Ford and Chrysler engines had to have restrictor plates under the carbs so the precious chevs had a chance, The Ford Indy engine revolutionised motorsport worlwide, what's the chev ever done, worldwide, there is life outside of the USA, not that they would know, Regards Frank.
