What, this DNA?
All kinds of different cars, different engines, different body styles? That's already
long gone.
The discussion of whether the somewhat more varied ATCR would be a better fit for the ATCC & Bathurst 1000 titles is here:

Gen 2 Supercars are all nearly identical:
So what does it matter if Gen 3 cars are
actually identical!?
Does even
one single fan care that GRM use Kevlar wheel arches when Kelly Racing use carbon-fibre wheel arches? Nobody cares about the minute differences that are still allowed, it makes no difference to anybody.
For example, the Supashock control shock or Alcon control brakes have come in... It's not like we've seen fans throwing away their Sachs or Brembo flags away in disgust at their favourite brand of shock or brake caliper being outlawed!
It was great that once upon a time you could take your Alfa Romeo GTV6, Ford Sierra, Jaguar XJS or Volvo 240 Turbo and build it up into a touring car however you want, with all the design freedoms in the world (homologation permitting). But the "DNA" of Supercars is so far removed from that now -- a regulation in 1993 effectively made the category into a restricted two-make series for instance, so doesn't it seem futile to try to cling on to days gone by?
