As a ex V8 Supercar engineer the reason for the 5K exhaust header is the cost of the titanium metal used to make the pipes as well as the many hours of hand fabrication involved to make the exhaust by Tig welding together the mandrel bends & merge collector pipes. These exhausts are a work of art when finished. Exhaust development is continual.

there is a lot of mark up on these engines. parts come thru performance wholesale. sold for f all to v8 supercar aus. then they sell parts to the teams at a very big profit...the crank is a 3 grand item, block 2500. cam 530 . they double everything and some
@aussiefirie6 жыл бұрын
Nicole Gooch V8 Supercars don't buy the parts. Each team buys them straight from the supplier or manufacturer. Seeing as the majority of parts come from the U.S, you have to convert the U.S price into the AUZD meaning the price increases, then add import tax and freight.

@FordV8Supercar These stats are from the mid-90s, but I do remember them well; Ready to run engine, $60,000, ready to run Hollinger race spec 6-speed, $50,000. The latter, you can choose your own ratios, but there's limits to how much you're allowed to mess with in the engines. A fully prepped car from Perkins (Larry's workshop) Engineering would set you back in excess of $220,000. Then there's tyres, spares, safety equipment, transport pit crews and sourcing a driver

The new Ford GT with 5.0L alloy block S/Charged from factory has 335 kw they run 11.9 down the quarter with a flash tune on stock tyres. Are there any new japanese cars other than the R35 that will even compete? Performance wise and value for money- I think not....

The tolerances oin CAT engines are extremely tight, often assembled in surgically clean conditions. I meant that a race engine is capable of sometimes up to 9000rpm. A CAT diesel at best will rev out to no more than 4000 maximum rpm And of course, some of the larger CATs fully assembled cost more than $50,000

It's a racing block. Not used for daily driving. Like the rest of the motor build, $1100 cams, $6000 crankshaft, etc. All are overpriced because they are specially made for racing in the Super V8 series and all to spec within regulations. Like every other race car in a major racing series, the motors easily go over $100k.

Nascar engines make about 900 hp at least 250 hp more than a V8 supercar and rev to 10,000 rpm. A fresh engine for each race, you need 35 new engines a year, so economy of scales would make them cheaper to build.
