Pretty simple really, its just a custom body shell over the existing Super car chassis.
more about getting permission from the US. I see the Ranger Raptor is going to be the official recovery vehicle

The chassis won't be exactly the same as it will need to be modified for the Mustang shape, much like the Crumpledore chassis was altered for the Peugeot.

"Mustang’s return to the championship is also made possible through Supercars’ Gen2 rules platform, which opens up the championship to two-door cars and non-V8 engines, although significant work will be needed to allow the Mustang’s body shape to fit over the mandated control chassis."

I see Paul Gover showed his ignorance of the rules again when he asked when the 2 door body was going to ratified. Somethings never change.

The Mustang will be no different other than appearance and possible aerodynamics to the current setup.

Mustang is used in NASCAR, the Xfinity series.

Is there a chance the V6TT will replace the 5.0? What is happening with the Ecoboost 2.3?

Tim Edwards confirmed that Mustang body fits controlled chassis, so they can race as is. Ranger Raptor is official recovery vehicle for V8 Supercars.... Looks like Ford is on the up elevator... Last edited by jpd80; 17-04-2018 at 05:26 PM. |

Here's an idea . Scrap the control chassis and engines altogether and base the Australian series on actual production cars . Nah , what was I thinking !!!!!.

It'll never happen and I agree no hope of TV rights but in the early days of the ATCC in the mid to late sixties and early seventies the racing cars , Falcons , Monaro's , Torana's, Chargers and even Mustangs were raced a lot closer to showroom spec than later on. Some were even driven to and from racetracks . Different times and totally different sport to now . |

Anyone remember the Gemini racing series?
Went to lakeside in the 1980s, fair dinkum thought it was a parade lap. Old mate the Holden supporter next to me was not impressed with what I said. |
