On top of the "look" of the series is that the parity can't seem to be sorted with the current cars, a fresh platform hopefully sorts that.

A little bit of forward thinking has to lead you to thinking the SuperTourers is the right option of the two, think 5 - 10 years down the road, the SuperTourer would still be viable and current, where as the current NZV8's would be terribly out of date
Oh I definitely think V8 'supertourers' is the way to go for the future, I just don't understand why it's not taking over the shell of NZV8's. All along previously I thought that was going to be the case. The new chassis would come into effect and the old cars could run in a second level series. If NZV8's continues in it's current form for a few years, I think this new series is going to have a hard time getting off the ground. Especially with the economy and other issues.
