You got that one right !!! Awesome car, a credit to Neil.
This car has the original profile i.e not the flat type side / door panels.
Reading the rules are the flat sided cars legal in saloons.
I see the Lovelady Mustang running as a saloon in wellington, great looking car, but certainly not the same "profile " as what came out of the factory ( or is that side profile only ? )

Scott Lansdowne's 74A K-Mac Corvette - mint looking car!  (Sorry, forgot where I grabbed the image from)... 1NZ's similar K-mac looks great too - but I preferred last years simple paint job, the extra graphics are just a bit too much this year - just a personal opinion though! |

I'm going to go out on a limb here... and disagree about Neil Heads 10M Mustang... Yes, its very tidy, and its different - but it looks like any other road car... and surely a RACE CAR should look like something a bit more exotic??? (Which is why I can't see the point of a Monaro or a Commodore, everyone's brothers, mothers, cousin has got one - so where is the excitement)  Production saloons have to look like road cars - Saloons should look like exotic race cars!! So even though I don't much like LRC cars (too square - chassis and bodies), or Mustangs much... I'd vote for John McGrath's 7W over 10M - now that is a sexy looking car (for a Ford)!  |

Never seen 24G before - who's is it? 1st meeting Gisborne 12/12/09 7pm Roger Corrin (24g) in his debut in this class got better with each race and picked up his first placing in this class with a very good 3rd in the feature race. Expect more from Roger over coming meetings as he comes to grips with his new car. 2nd meeting Kihikih 13/12/09 1pm 18hrs later he is racing at Kihikihi  Look forward to seeing more of this Saloon. |

That 24G's a hot looking car - and looks like a RACE CAR should do!

(a) Car to resemble an original production vehicle as per the
following restrictive modificationsThey are not super saloons Chris I would hate to see anyone to win the NZ title the lose it because the body does not fall within the rules Most of us know how petty thing can be at a title meeting and to watch some of the tech people riding on there high horse

But unless they bring in NASCAR style body templates, how do you define "Resemble" - as you know, a lawyer would have a great time with that argument!
Oh - and no disrespect intended Tony - you're 17R Monaro is the nicest one around of that body style!
