Ahh yeah, good point. The DTM type cars perhaps? I just figured if we used 2/3 actual touring car series' for the purpose of nothing other than guidlines, it would make choosing cars a little easier

Hmmm,
Mind if I have a proper look at cars, their classes in touring car c'ships around the globe when I get home tonight, and perhaps we can make a definitive list? The Camry would get slaughtered from that group of cars

Knock yourself out. Wouldn't mind if you found some other cars, as long as they fit the class-size pattern and are sold in Australia and New Zealand.
The Camry is just supposed to be a template for the thing used in the series. In Group A the cars are almost completely rebuilt, they only look (more or less) like road cars. All the normal parts go out, they couldn't take the strain anyway. As long as we don't have to bend the basic chassis design too much out of shape, the car should go in.

Background: Unusually for this racing series, Mr Düsentrieb - an émigré from the tiny German village of Huhnhausen - is fairly broke. He gets by with good contacts with nearby business magnates, and always seems to have exactly enough material to fix the car to serviceable levels.

Hardware: Volvo S60 2.4 L I5
Factory support: No. Car was bought for $10,000. Given the current financial climate, the Volvo salesman happily accepted, then was torn apart by a pack of rabid hyenas fleeing Wall Street.

The Ankeborg $-Racing team also announce the signing of Greg Thomas. A young talent with a fearless instinct for cutting corners and also bringing with him an adequate supply of plus-size sunglasses, he fits into the team plan nicely.

How does the following sound?
Aston Martin Vantage GT/GT2
Audi A4 - B6 B8
BMW M3 - E90/92/93
Ferarri F430 GT
Ford Falcon - BA, BF, FG
Holden Commodore - VY, VZ, VE
Honda NSX
Lexus SC430
Mercedes-Benz C-Class W203/W204
Nissan GTR
Nissan 350Z
Porsche 996 GT2, 997 GT3
Spyker C8 Laviolette GT2 - R
I've taken then from the DTM, V8 Supercars, Super GT, Le Mans and the FIA GT Series. All cars are V6's (some turbocharged) or V8's, and fit in and around the "super tourers" category from the last 4/5 years.

Principal's name: Marcos Whinchterbottom
Background: Born and raised on the Sunshine Coast, Marcos was regarded as one of the best young talents on the Australian racing scene. That is, until he made the surprising move of tossing aside the Helmut, and donning a managers headset to start up Frosty Devils Racing. Whinchterbottom will be looking to mould his young team into one of the most stylish on and off the track even though spare parts may be hard to come by at this early stage in the teams development.

Background: A Doogie Houser of his generation, Diamond completed high school at age 14. His father wished him to follow in the family trade of medicine, but instead Diamond had a passion for touring cars. Unfortunately for Diamond he has no sporting ability, but instead created his own racing team. After successfully teaming with driver Desmond Major, a childhood friend they made a name for themselves as they triumphed in all lower levels of racing from go carts to drag racing. This is the first time the pair have entered the touring car circuit.

Hmmm fair-enough. If that's case though, the M3 is sports car, and shouldn't be included.
