Gday people.
I was talking to a mechanic of a saloon racing team earlier today. His team is sponsored by Ford, and they usualy run EF/EL's. With new unused/un-needed engines from Ford. He told me that the new VE commodore runs a lot of Ford parts. Eg. Ford heads, rear and front suspension setup to name a few (The list went on for a while!). The block is Holden, however as they are not happy with it, next year they will use Ford blocks. I do not know if he was talking about the V6 or V8s. As he said Heads, I doubt the V6. If its true, well I dont know what they spent the billions of dollars on devaloping this car, when they took the design from 4 or 5 different cars (Nothing origional, except the badges), and took the running gear and suspension from their rival. I dont know how true this is, however this guy seems to know what he is talking about (as a team machanic would). Does anyone know if this is true? And if it is, can somone shed more light on this please ? Cheers, Ben |
