Don't know if this will work. Listening to the mindless rattling thrum of 4 cyl diesels down the front straight.

The current utes are bad enough..... as mentioned above, I'm sure a bunch of 4cyl turbo diesels will really wow the crowd..

How is this relevant to road going vehicles? Rangers and BT-50 are 5cyl, the new Amarok out this month is a V6 diesel as will the Mercedes ute out soon. I imagine Holden will follow suit not long after to stay in the market as it takes a massive sales hit once they no longer have a V8 Holden to sell. The new Amarok engine has more power and torque than a VN-VS V8 engine, will do 0-100 in 7's and 16sec quarters, all form a 2.2 tonne vehicle. All whilst the thing is running of course, doesn't count all the time spent at VW trying to fix them.....So why are the saying 4cyls only? Stupid, and boring as everyone else has said. Imagine the pits, not running right, plug in the engine analyser. Too bad driver, it is bad fuel, your problem now!

The amaroks are the worst of the current lot available.
Motors are hand grenades.

My bad.
Only issues with more cylidners is in QLD it means more rego.
But oh well. Only an issue with things like the BT-50/Ranger where your paying six cylidner rego for a pissy 3.2 litre that could easilly be a 4 cylinder.

Silly rego laws isn't it? It should be cubic capacity to be fairer, you shouldn't get away with paying cheaper rego on a 4.0L 4cyl than a 2.0L V6.

My VZ Tonner is registered as a commercial vehicle for GST purposes, therefore my rego costs almost 10% more than if it were registered as a private vehicle.
When I questioned QLD Transport about this the lame excuse for a reply I was given was that commercial vehicles do more damage to our road network?

Supercars could name it the Dual Cab Thaiathalon.

......gotta wonder if they did any fan/spectator/whatever research before announcing this was the path they were going down.
Lets hope they didnt think that the Stadium trucks were the taste test for truck based ute racing................whatever the proposed series does, it cant help looking like a Lawn Bowls version of the Stadiums?..or am I missing something?.
