It's also about power delivery too. Your magna would've had the most weight over the front wheels (from memory their weight dist was 54 to 46% FR) giving it better traction, commodores of old had a weight dist of 53 to 47% FR (V8's) with rear drive making them break traction easier with the extra power, especially with their pretty crappy LSD's in the older models pre VY series. The VY's LSD got a bit better and the VE's are now pretty good. Theres heaps of different variables in relation to car's performance. Power to weigth ratio's, power trains, torque curves, power curves, traction, tyre tread type, tyre grip, driven wheels tyre width, tyre composition, variables in LSD's and torque splitters and the list goes on...
What I was meaning originally by sticking with the current regulations, Supercars have to be limited by power, use the same chassis, and come with in regulation weight (1445kg from memory), just adding additional body shells was the main point.. Still it's turned into a good discussion either way ;)
