I DO NOT like the wing (bottom one):mad:

If you have any questions about the new car just ask...I can answer anythig about it...and you won't find a WHOLE lot web.
A closer look...wing....gross

so de charger is makin a comeback.....

haha they riced a NASCAR race car lol
damn that wing is ugly...fugly

Just shows further how ugly NASCAR's are.


The body looks like they picked up some guy's tin shed after Katrina, hacked it up and welded it on.

Well....that's dodge for ya...:cool:

They should make a coupe version to race with and to sell.

LOL. ha ha ha...unfortunately...I could'nt agree with you MORE.:(

The basic idea behind the new car is good: a wider car with better driver protection and higher drag (so they can get rid of those damn restrictor plates!). That wing is not finalized. It would give downforce w/o blocking as much air (and downforce) from the car behind, giving better drafting/slingshot passing.

I'm not sure this is a done deal, even at the phase-in schedule NASCAR has announced/decreed. Between test, short track, intermediate track, superspeedway, and road course cars; multi car teams like Roush and Hendrick can have 100 cars. Chassis can have a useful lifespan of 3 years or more before being sold off to smaller Cup or ARCA & ASA teams. Making these cars obsolete too soon would be a huge financial loss.

Never the gentleman, Felix Sabates calls the new car a "load of crap."
Ever the gentleman, Jack Roush has expressed "serious concerns" about the financial burden of these changes.

With huge budgets, F1 teams (in shrinking numbers) can build new cars and engines in a year or so. If FISA announced in July a new format for the next season, FOCA would say, "No Way, Jose!" There would be no show! The constructors/teams have power.

In the mid '70's, up to 120 accepted cars/drivers would attempt to qualify for 33 starting spots at the Indy 500. About 1978, USAC and Indy management announced major changes affecting car construction for the next year. Team owners, with millions invested, said, "No Way, Jose!" Thus, CART was born. They contracted with the tracks (road and oval) and sanctioned and operated the races. Indy had no choice but to go along or they would have no show! The constructors/teams had power.

Gentleman Jack Roush pointed out that he has long term contractual obligations to sponsors. He also pointed out that while a car gets money just to start, he has no appearance contract with NASCAR.

Could this be a hint of a possible unification of teams? A last minute driver boycott of the first NASCAR race at (terribly rough) Talladega didn't fly. A reduced field still pushed 200 mph for a slightly smaller crowd. Big deal. It would be a different story today. If the top 20 cars/drivers boycotted a few races; the TV networks and the tracks ISC doesn't own could bankrupt NASCAR. NASCAR would have no legal recourse against the teams. Think about it.

Good thinking...its smart.
I don't like the "car of tomarrow", but one of the big changes, is very big contrasts and differences (looks) between manufactures...Chevy, Ford, Dodge, and Toyota (Hate to say)...I think that will be a good thing.
The first shedualed race for the new car is 1st race at Bristol, 2007.

If you let constructors write the rules; you will get races where only a few teams win. Nobody will watch/care.

If sanctioning bodies like NASCAR or IRL write the rules without constructor input; you will get crap luzer racing. Other than 2 time NASCAR champion Tony Stewart, nobody has come UP from IRL (impotent racing league). Everybody else in IRL with a name came DOWN from some other racing series. IRL was intended to be lower cost than CART; but they achieved a higher attrition rate (DNF's) than CART, F1, or NASCAR in their first 5 years.

CART has been poorly managed. IRL has recently learned to turn RIGHT! US open wheel racing is ripe for unification. It will never happen if inbred/idiot Tony George is involved.

NASCAR... lol

"NASCAR...lol"

What the hell is that suppose to mean!?!?:(

It looks like it's made out of paper...

so de charger is makin a comeback.....

they r racing allready......

whats the drag coefficient of this new model comapred to the older one?

NASCAR... lol


"NASCAR...lol"

What the hell is that suppose to mean!?!?:(

I believe Ravanus is an elitist eurosnob who's
not even from Europe...He looks down on anything
North/American with disdain. :smt019

NASCAR sucks anyway... it's boring. :idea:

Ya ya...I know all about, and more of what SteveFX is talking about, but I didn't feel like WRITING A BOOK ABOUT IT!!!

:smt093
MNKYFKR: was that you who said NASCAR was boring...???
I'm telling you, why don't you go FK a MNKY...](*,)

You're real intelligent... talk shiit to a mod... hehe

And yes, it's boring. Let's watch cars drive around in a circle. Boring, like baseball and apple pie!

oh please all I did was reversed your name title.....what can you EXPECT if you put your name as Monkeyfkker???
Have you been to a NASCAR race before???

ps. What is a MOD???... I've asked before, no one will answer

A mod is a moderator...What can Staff do?

Thanks man, at least someone around here answers questins.

NASCAR is really lame.. you watch a bunch of cars drive with the exact same body and virtually the exact same engine drive around in circles for three hours. I mean.. don't you have better things to do? OMG EARNHARDT PASSED A GUY.. OMG.. they could be going 5 mph and you wouldn't notice a difference. Atleast in F1 racing and drag racing it takes a little more skill.. and is a little more interesting. I mean, maybe if they brought back brand interest.. like.. letting manufacturers build their own cars it would be cool. Right now nobody really gives a damn what car wins, its all about the driver. They're basically celebrities. It's become "hollywood-ized", and thus lame.

I love stock car racing and drag racing mainly, I have to agree with you saying NASCAR's become "Hollwoodized", but don't even try to say that it takes any less skill.

First of all, I have a name here for a reason, call me by it. Second, read the rules about insulting staff. I don't call you HORSE ASS do I?

:smt087 thats true, I apoligize. And I read the rules on insulting MODs.
I've learnd my lesson, it won't happen again...maybe just an occasinal "come back", but thats it.

and about... "NASCAR's new car"

we'll see...

ok, fair enough.

Monkey-seriously man, every thread I have read it has seemed to me as though you have attacked and are out to get USA HORSE. Yes he writes a lot of rubbish and I see why you do it, but I expected more out of you especially considering your a mod. Your better than that and you know it.

By the way I mean no disrespect by this post, I am just pointing out something you could improve on.

Thanks for the back-up, man.

I don't think he was backing you up as much as talking to me. I don't take it as disrespectful bro, I understand where you're coming from. I've pm'd him about a couple things and they keep happening. You're right I am a mod and because of that I try to keep things somewhat on topic. Horse just happens to stray a lot. Even mods have a limit. lol. I have nothing personal against him, but we already have Tabber and Driftster (no offense, you guys know I love ya! lol).

ya...I do stray, I'll try to get rid of my problem.

Thanks for the back-up, man.

I was more or less trying to talk to monkey, I think I should have private messaged him.

Its all good, I know you were essentially doing the right the thing and as you said we all have our limits, lol!!!

Peace.

Okay...but you still gave me back up, and thanks...Thats all.

I should pm this too but... Horse, I haven't been out to get you for any personal reason. I don't have anything against you. If you're going to be a member and have respect from other people here you have to abide by the rules. Don't make threads for everything that pops into your head. If you have a simple question about something don't make a thread about it. PM somebody and ask them, hell, ask me I'll be glad to help you in any way I can...

Sorry, I have made some pretty lame threads...next one I want to make, I'll run it by YOU first.

Good choice

HEY Everyone!!!!..........I'm BAAAAAAAAACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did any of you see the article in this weeks issue of -TIME- magazine, about NASCAR's "Car of tomarrow"??????
It was pretty good, but............TIME....lol.
