Nissan to enter V8SC in 2013

[Old.Tony]

then I'll be able to knock em off in my D22

You'd have to lighten the load by a little. What's the weight of an F1 car, about 600-odd kg including driver?

Your engine and drivetrain would struggle to match. I think the F1 engine weighs somewhere between 90 and 100kg (that's the 2.4L V8, not sure what the new turbo 4-potters will be but you can bet they'll be lighter).

Haha why,

well, initially from this comment....."With F1 being the king of green. ".......


anything those bastard greens like, is for :homoswitch:'s

My guess would be it is Formula 1 (as in top of its class) motorSPORT.

^ its the only one in its class......

V8SC's dont pretend to be moonlighting as F1's or even compete with them and it doesnt have to...it has the largest motorsport following in this country anyway...

well then treat F1 as such and not the be all end all in life....Do you guys think that f1 engineers are the only ones capable of such feats....stop dreaming now..

I'm sure if the new brew works well the next few years, there will be more nissan teams.

Used to love the roar of the Moffat falcon. Bring it back!

The roar of his mouth when Murray Carter left him for dead down the back straight of Sandown was a much better roar.

Machine!!!!

"Green is nice!"

 

[KraftyPg]

Back there green meant something a lot better than it does now.

yes, tho i think the line may have been....'green is a nice colour'

 

[KraftyPg]

I don't remember the exact wording but it was something like that.

I heard....then saw that beast around the melb GP track last year.....without a doubt the most memorable thing of the whole day....except for the FA/18 of course.

Wasn't Dicky Boy's Falcon green in 1983 or so?

 

[KraftyPg]

Not sure of the exact year but yeah he had the Greens Tuff XD I think it was.

 

[superiorcruiser]

isnt that the one that went for a shortcut thru the forrest and sustained a few "scratches"

if only Dicky boy knew how to drive and keep it on the black stuff....haha

Kelly gang wouldnt have done that...

 

[KraftyPg]

Yeah that was the day he forgot to install the bull bar on his racing Falcon, pretty sure it was a roo strike coming out of Forest's elbow and onto Conrod that helped him choose his parking spot.

 

[superiorcruiser]

yeah,blamed a roo...
another year it was a rock...
always something other then his driving skills.....but he was ina ford afterall

 

[KraftyPg]

Actually the Greens Tuff went adrift after going too wide on Forest's Elbow trying to beat Brockie in the Hardies Heroes pole shoot out.

The rock incident was in the Tru Blue Falcon at the top of the mountain
