As the months go by we seem to just be getting one more panel fitted at at a time, or the engine is 'almost' here or 'almost' installed with our 'almost' fitted Tinker Toy (TT) gearbox.
SHOW ME THE MONEY!!! (as in just stop posting pointless facts about how far a car has come over the last few months and what they 'intend' to do as we approach summer - show us a car, with its new matchbox rollcage doing laps with all the bells and whistles mentioned in the media release)
Oh and an 'intense' testing programme starting in spring......are you serious when the series starts in summer? what happens if they find the gearbox has big issues, or the parity isn't there, or they cage crumples when the car goes over a speed bump - not much time to fix any issues if thats the case. But of course there has been soooooo much computer and wind tunnel modelling of the new car, that they just know it will be great, straight outta the box.

get over yourself. has it finally dawned on you that cars are being built? maybe the NZV8 guys arn't prepared to jump up and down and spout off UNTIL the car is properly tested?
at least Inky has the sense to give the car(s) a decent shakedown to see if there are any issues that need to be addressed before the season starts.
Remember NZST chose not to test the car in similar circumstances , when they had every opportunity to do so, and look at the problems they had.
whoop de-doo, the NZST is gonna bust out better lap times. It was always designed to be quicker than NZV8 (and possibly V8SC) because with all the fanfare, it had to be bigger, better ,faster more.
still many months away from season start, so why is it imperative that the NZV8 teams announce their intentions so early, takes away any element of surprise, dosn't it ??
