[Shotimes] OT - IRL Gen 4 Chevy, NOT!

[Donald Mallinson]

Dave,

You can't tell me that you actually believe that the 
majority of people out there think that the motor run in any 
top racing series, including NASCAR has any relationship to 
what they buy!  The average person is just a bit sharper 
than that.  Even the Olds Quad Four that WAS production 
based for a while a least, wasn't fooling many people.

The people that count KNOW who did the motor and what it is, 
the rest of the people pretty much know that they can't buy 
an IRL motor in their Impala.  Same with CART/Ford or F1 and 
any maker there.

It is corporate pride that they are going for and just 
getting the name out.

No con job, just racing.
