Have you looked at the "car of the future?" It's about as close as
you can get to a spec racer. And a rear wing? That really otta make
the rice boyz happy. Then they can cheer for their Honda, Toyota,
Subaru, Acura, Lexus...ad nauseum...spec cars with different stickers
on 'em. The only thing they need is chrome 20 inch wheels with
Sprewell hubcaps.
Ray the rat
I saw it this weekend... The "Euro" nose is bad enough but the wing you
mention pushes it over the "Rice Burning" edge. I thought it was a bad
practical
joke on the fans at first. I hated it, but I hated it when they stuck wings
on Sprint cars and Top Fuel Rails too. Now the ones without a wing look
"strange".
If you think about, all the cars appear the same anyway except for the
grill. It's the drivers we cheer for, not a Chevy or a Ford.
I have a feeling Nascar got tired of all the whiners, "Fords have a better
frontal down force, Chevy's have more rear down force, Dodges,,, well Dodges
have a funny looking nose that makes them good in drafting.
The top of the hoods will still be different so we can tell them apart.
Yippee!
Yeah Keith, I can understand taking the originality out of car building
sucks. What next, Spec underwear??? Come to think of it, they do spec the
undies!!!!!!!!
