Perhaps they should get cars straight out of the showroom and onto the track, make it more interesting.

Try doing bathurst in your straight off the showroom floor vehicle, wouldn't be many if any left at the end of the race. There is a couple of categorys that do have this sought of thing, one being the GTP series (which no one seems to support considering lack of knowledge about it) and the V8 Brutes series (which is so-so in popularity).
Motorsport isn't about trying to sell cars anymore, a lot of marques use it for development purposes (in different international categories) but there is nothing in a V8SC that Holden or Ford can use on their road going cars that have been developed using this category.
I disagree that this motto "Win on Sunday, sell on Monday" has any relevance to todays motorsport climate.
