those next gen cars look like they picked the worst from touring cars and the worst from stock cars and blended together in a very generic package

if you strip the decals off the front end could be more likely a Dodge Charger than a Mustang or Camaro

the main things that bugs me about the NextGen car is the safety fears w/ the chassis (hopefully the new clips can handle impacts better), the amount of jobs that will be lost because of this car - with likely no cost savings in the end (even tho cost savings was the "excuse" to layoff most folks in the shops), the small sidewalls on the tires (will be much harder to catch slides), how much aero these things have & the fact that "we like what we are seeing / lets limit horsepower in hopes of IRL pack racing" crap.

the CoTF/Gen2 V8's were already too damn heavy on downforce numbers - so what does NASCAR do? take that & add even more with a rear diffuser


(*tinfoilhat* the whole "we like what we are seeing" jargon makes me think there's a insurance issue afoot - which I feel is believable when taking into account "the Michigan test" had 225+ MPH trap speeds & insurance keeping top speeds down below 200 for IMSA at Daytona's road course */tinfoilhat*)

Feels like if they had any class, they'd be syphoning a percentage of those t-shirt sales or whatever else they're selling with the slogan on to the poor, underfunded family team that shares their values

But it's never about the little guy is it....

"we have better racing right now than we've had arguably ever."
