looking at pics of the nationwide COT and the cars at least look mildly similar to the actual cars they represent, although that is mainly due to the noses on them. looking at the pictures, it appears that the challenger may have an aero disadvantage because of the recessed grill, no? the mustang looks like it has one but it is simply the decals on the flat nose. dodge: http://jayski.com/schemes/2010/nationwide/dodge.htm chevy: http://jayski.com/schemes/2010/nationwide/chevycot.htm ford: http://jayski.com/schemes/2010/nationwide/fordcot.htm toyota: http://jayski.com/schemes/2010/nationwide/toyotacot.htm |
Whatever..........

various places to balance that out.
In practice, NASCAR's recent history with aero testing doesn't
speak very highly of their skill at it.

resonated well with fans, and left toyota as the only one not running
a "muscle car" - as they don't have one.

same aero specs?
I wonder if Dodge sees any technical advantage in it too. Maybe they think a
low pressure pocket there will give more downforce or something like that.

i don't know why chevy didn't come out with the camaro. It would've resonated well with fans, and left toyota as the only one not running a "muscle car" - as they don't have one. |
to recall a spokesdude saying the Camaro generated ample demand
(for the limited production planned) without any promotion, whereas
the Impala sales would (in their opinion) be benefitted by the
exposure.
Incidently, I saw a new Camaro on the street the other day. Ugly
car, especially from the rear 3/4 angle. It looks much better in
pictures.
(and, in a doesn't happen every day incident, when I took my F150
into the Ford dealer for an oil change yesterday, a guy brought
a GT in for service. Wow, what a sound....Ford got that one right)

fat in the ass. GM would have done a better job if they'd made
it more retro, but their stying chief (the guy who's responsible
for all those wedgy angular Cadillacs) hates retro.
