That doesn't have to change but they can be made to look more like the production versions the way the gen6 cars do.

"Cutting labor cost by 50%" I don't know how they can make that claim, won't it depend entirely on how many wrecks the driver gets in?

But apart from the giant front spoiler, it looks fine.


They were talking about how you can just take whatever piece off that needs replacing and replace just that, instead of doing a whole side.

The composite bodies cost $7,900, but I think the final cost of it after mounting the body is $11,000. Steel bodies will currently run you about $14,000.

Do you ever have anything nice to say, or do you just troll the shit out of the NASCAR threads?

TBH Chris has always been a good member to converse with. Recent events and decisions regarding the sport have understandably made him bitter. I don't hold that against him. haha

No he trolls the shit out of these threads now. His negative attitude is getting old. Clearly NASCAR stole his ice cream cone and pushed him to the ground in the playground.

He's a decrepit ole chap because he used to get wrecked all the time in Sunday morning TBK fun league races on Forza 3.

I kid because I care Chris... 8)

Everyone has a breaking point, Chris - I've been pretty positive and looking at things positively over the last decade, focusing on the quality of the racing itself more than the Chase, Danica, the fact that money trumps talent, etc... although it has needed work, I've always been willing to be the one to say "just wait, it'll get better! It can, so it will!"

This past Sunday changed me, I think. It doesn't come out of a hatred of Keselowski, but a general sourness with the direction the sport is headed. That wasn't really there before... talk to me after Phoenix and I *might* change my tone a bit, but it sure has been a rough week for my appreciation of the sport. :(

I understand everyone has a breaking point. It's understandable. We all get that way with certain things. But you don't have to consistantly make your posts so negative and full of unnecessary cheap shots time after time. We get it, NASCAR sucks. No need to be a broken record about it.

I was relatively late in coming to the conclusion that NASCAR is irreparably fucked. I kinda had Andre's attitude of "maybe it will get better" but that grew old.

The occasional hyperbole aside, I've been fair and objective.

I'm not the troll anyway. NASCAR is a decade into trolling us and this is one of the places I talk about it.

Only way NASCAR will get better is if certain people are taken out back and shot.

70s Dale Earnhardt would be the perfect character for a 2014 Southern Comfort commercial.
