No...for anyone to compare that Holden to a Sprint Cup car hasn't seen them.....
Mind you...I would love to see a Sprint Cup car run the mountain. It wouldn't get close to that time, but by god that power would make those long straights shrink...I suspect a Cup car would haul 200 plus...and I don't believe Murph's Holden would have seen much more than about 185..."Water for my horses, beer for my men and mud for my turtle".

Jez a cup car would be a hand full over the top of the mountain!!
would a cup car and a v8 super car have similar HP?
I'm guessing, but I would suggest that a v8 supercar would be 6 - 8 seconds a lap quicker then a cup car around bathurst.

Probably be a fun compairsion. I have seen the Cup boys race at Watkins Glen and I can honestly tell you they are far better on fast tracks with sweeping corners than people realize. With their greater power, they might gain some ground on the long straight to and from the mountain. That said, I think the Murph's lap record would be VERY safe... Originally Posted by SUBARUTEAM

YA...lol...but we drew the thread out for a few more posts. Until the Indycar guys actually get behind the wheels of these cars, this sucker goes dormant. So me and the Aussies there had to milk it a little. Besides, a few people obviously don't know what the Aussie V8 Touring car series is or the level of the cars... Originally Posted by Starter

The game didnt last long with Ingram's off on SS8. :( Pryce, Evans and Williams also failing to finish left the win to Cronin. Great for him and keeping him in the series this year. Creighton...
