The Honda and VW/Audi both use absolutely standard engines, available for a very reasonable circa $10,000 AUD for a complete brand new engine.
The suspension pickup points and type are the same as the road car.
The doors, roof and bodyshell are all the same as the road car.
They are far more touring cars than the Supercars series... Nobody claimed they were "production" racing cars.
Note that the Group A Commodore did use the production gearbox either but rather a Holinger unit, substituting the gearbox is standard practice in a touring car.
