Falcadore should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
The car forsale was last raced by Peter Roggenkamp in 1997. It was the car originally raced by Phil Alexander and later bent horribly out shape while being retrieved from a Snadtrap at Hell Corner at Bathurst. Never been competitive or fast and only ever scored one ASTC point in the hands of David Grose.

Don't touch it.

Chances of any ST's being succesfully converted to H pattern are not even slim and none. They're just none. In later Super Tourers the sequential gearboxes are an integral part of the car's design, and as Crash-Test suggested would require major engineering works to circumvent.

Sports Sedans have been accepting cast offs from other categories for decades, and there seems to be a push from within Sports Sedans ranks to clean up the category at a regulatory level in an attempt to regain the position they once had within the nations categories. Unfortunately while the insist on looking more spectaculare than V8Supercar and feature more makes than Holden and Ford the chances of that changing at a significant level are not great.

Ahhhh politics.....

The feature for the nations 30 or so Super Tourers? Large pot plants spring most immediately to mind.
