ford4v429 Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 That would be cool(kinda) but I'd personally rather see FR500C types- kinda 'real' cars, not pathetic 'reasonable facsimile' on a fullblown circle track chassis- either way would help sales, but I really think they need to get back to reinforced stock cars like in Nascars early years- something people can relate too instead of the 'footballteam/personality' stuff that in my opinion is what nascar is today. getting like bigtime wrestling, with horsepower- but all the cars are 'fakes' Look at John Force's "Mustang" (I use the term loosely- VERY loosely) - peel off a couple stickers and nobody would have a clue what it is...performance rocks, but why call it something its obviously not in any way shape or form...

MustangFanatic Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 Unless NASCAR could design the cars to be close to "stock appearing" I'd definitely vote against it. Otherwise all you will have is a generic circle track car with Mustang logos on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahstang Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 Well would you rather have a Ford Fusion or a Ford Mustang represented in NASCAR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MustangFanatic Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 Personally, I'd rather NOT have the Mustang name associated with NASCAR. Regardless of what model of car is "legal" for NASCAR, they are all essentially the same car. With the car of tomorrow, the differences between makes will be further reduced. NASCAR should eliminate the model name and just refer to the cars as either a Ford, a Chevy, a Dodge or, in '07, a Toyota. Model names have ceased to have any relevance in the NASCAR world. If NASCAR were to institute such a rule, it would also achieve cost savings from teams having to switch nose and tail sections to reflect "model" changes. Make a generic Ford nose and tail for all teams to run and call it a day. Just my $.02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree though that I prefer the stock bodied cars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
