RB: "I worked for a Busch Series team in the early/mid 90's. NASCAR used V6
motors in the Busch Series during that time."
Right on, I forgot about those Grand National cars. They weren't that much
slower than the Winston Cup cars either. I wonder how much of that speed
difference was "designed in" to the Busch cars via carb CFM limits, etc <G> They
also had a very interesting exhaust sound due to those Buick cranks, sounded
sorta like the old-style V8 "flat cranks" to me.
Likewise, the late CART "Indy Lights" series ran GM V6s in Lola chassis
throughout its existence.
