Yep. it looks great but for the ones who haven't noticed it has a DOHC engine. What this does is allows the engine to be revved a lot harder and faster, and gives a modest power boost. I know that only pushrods are allowed in Supercars. will they change the rules or will they make Ford teams have a pushrod engine?

after all it has been a while since Ford dominated the V8's and it would be good if we saw a Ford on top of the podium regulary, without domination.

P.S. Good luck, Ford. Keep FIghting

When did you see the DOHC engine in that car????? Just because it was wearing XR8 panels it doesn't mean it had the XR8's motor under the bulge

V8 supercars have always run pushrod motors based on their relevant 5Lt motorsport blocks - there will not be a change of the rules to allow OHC motors.

Project Blueprint will ensure (hopefully!) that no one car dominates - I'm not holding my breath.
