Looks like an uglier IROC car. :thumdown:

But seriously, how is any car that has wood on the car safer than previous models? :confused:

Car of Tomorrow! My captions:
Right, since today it's 1965 moving straight on to 1968 shows real initiative. :gomer:
What a stunning result considering this masterpiece has been in the works for more than 3yrs. :rolleyes:
By gawd we're slack jawed nose pickers without an iota of design sense, but we've got lots of money. :laugh:
Looks like some kid turned his dad's boat anchor into a ricer. :yuck:

It does make the GrandAm cars look better.

I can't stop looking at it, it's so fugly.

[diamond dave]

only thing missing is the "DUBS" 20"+ rims showing off the drum brakes:shakehead :laugh:

I'd take a Crawford or Chase over that POS anyday.

Because it is hard to drive and even harder to win in? Just a thought.

[NismoZ]

OK, Racewriter.

It is the answer... the answer to a question no one asked. :shakehead

My GrandMa had a '73 Maverick - poop Brown 4 door.
no power steering. That thing was hard to drive/steer. Guess it was a race car too:rolleyes: :laugh:

[pchall]

This is a Chevy Impala 2 door hardtop:

Could you go fast in it? If you could, it was a race car, just like a stock car is.

Get over yourselves.

Keep telling yourself that.

Now that ^^^^^^ 's funny on a ton of levels SeanO. Whatsa matter, no one left here to convince of the relevance of Grand Am? :laugh: :laugh:

I want to join in on the hate, but seriously, it doesn't look much worse than what they have now.

:confused:

Sure, it's got a duck bill, wears a skirt and has a skinny ass goiter, but is it really worse than the Car Of Today?

You want fugly, see the earl.

I agree. I don't see the difference other than the rear wing thing vs. a spoiler with 18 turnbuckles along the backside????

Looks like the same car that has been racing for the last 3 or 4 years.

Um, the car that's been racing the last 3 or 4 years looks exaclty like the same car that's been racing since Olds left in the 80's.

Does that validate it's ugliness?

:rolleyes:

No it isn't. In the late ninties they made the current "common template" attempt. So, I may be behind the times a bit and it is more like 6 or 7 years rather than 3 to 4 but, through most of the ninties, there were major differences in the body style of the vehicles.


edit...1996 was the first common push, 2003 was the iteration that is now racing.

What were you saying?

[Indy]

What the hell are they trying to sell? And why would looking at that thing going slowly for three hours make any intelligent person want to buy it?

(nevermind, this has nothing to do with intelligent consumers)

:rolleyes:

According to Jeff Gordon it does. Gordon dislikes the CoT because it "doesn't look like a real race car", which is really funny coming from a guy who only knows NASCAR in the age of aero matching crap.

[NismoZ]

Achhhh...It'll take about 3 races for the "true fans":) to get used to it and I suspect in 10 years they'll still look the same. Remember, the main focus of the change was safety and if that part of it is a success, then good. I fear all it will lead to is even MORE bumper car action and idiotic crash fests! The fans'll LOVE it! (what was it, 107 laps under yellow last week?):shakehead

[diamond dave]

Get over yourselves.

yeah, I could get it up to 70 mph - just like GA cars:laugh:
plus we'd go to the local Kmart parking lot, strategically set up shopping carts to lay out a "track". Then proceed to hit every one of them:tony:

And yet, its still more fun than standing along a fence watching other people have all the fun. If autocrossing was any easier, they'd call it road racing. :gomer:

Now this is where you need to defer to SeanO. At least he sets up cones, which ain't as hard on the ricer fender metal as shopping carts.

Dummy. :rofl:

cones? who can afford cones? We were using milk crates but the man tried to get us for stealing and unlawful use of property.
I'm poor, disgruntled, unemployed and white:cry: :rofl:

Any doubt NASCAB will market that wing to eager fans with car #s on the endplates and a sponsor logo? How much ya think? Companies will love it. You PAY for them to advertize and "CAB profits! gomer: :cool:

As soon as that wing showed up in CoT testing I posted that the folks who run the team merch trailers would have all the contracts signed to sell streetable versions of those wings with the numbers and all the right stickers to the necks for big bux starting with Speed Weeks. Suitably festooned aftermarket splitter kits will be available by the running of the Firecraker 400.

[oddlycalm]

it is more like 6 or 7 years Yes, but don't forget to convert using the NASCAR time warp factor where 7yrs is equal to a week of normal time. :gomer:

Over 80 laps of caution at Martinsville is not uncommon, crashfests started long before the COT and will continue after the implementation of the COT.

Can you mount it on a pick-up?:eek:

[devilmaster]

Can you mount it on a pick-up?:eek:

Unfortunately, yes.

I don't have a photo, but there is a guy round here who has a dodge ram truck, and on the hard tonneau cover, he has a wing that would make a superbird envious. :yuck:

your right<sarcasm> going 165+ into the kink at RA is wwwaaaayyyyy easier than circling cones in a parking lot, while your boyfriend holds a stop watch:gomer:
