Cars are built to an extremely rigid design and feature strong steel guards around almost the entire car. "Stockcars" are divided into three classes: Superstocks, Stock cars, Ministocks (Ministocks predominantly being a non-contact youth class).
Superstocks are the top class and are typically powered by V8 engines up to {{convert|248|cuin|L|1|order=flip}} which can produce over {{convert|500|hp|order=flip}}.  The majority of races are of an individual nature however, unique to New Zealand stock car racing is the team racing format.  Typically teams racing consists of two teams of four cars each that work together to win the race. Teams normally protect their "runners" while attempting to eliminate the opposing team, the races can be decided by a points format or first across the finish line.

The class most resembling the North American form of stock car racing are known as Saloon cars. Super Saloons are similar to dirt late models with the main differences being the bodies closer resemble production cars, use iron engines up to {{convert|434|cuin|L|1|order=flip}} with no rear offset and run much larger sprint car tyres on the rear.
