Default change is coming in 2012

Looks like the V8 supercars are going to open the series to other manufacturers alongside the current two. Stipulates must be v8 engine. Do we think that other manufacturers that do not have a v8 currently will build one in the current economic climate to compete?

I somehow dont think that Toyota is going to build a pushrod 5.0l just for this. They probably dont even know what pushrods are.

They would just use one of the engines from the other manufacturers most likely.
