I know I wouldn't be excited to scrap years of R and D to make such a change since winning is the end goal. Next you got to discuss making a stock body as safe and stable at 215mph. can't be a change just for change, it needs to be effective change. [/quot Plenty of stock body cars running close to that mph. Look at drag week. Personally I couldn't care less about the pro stock cars of today, much less top fuel and funny car. The races are boring they are either going to shake the tires and shut it down or make a full pass right beside the other guy....boring. X275 and 10.5 races are much more interesting Yeah those classes are cool but the disparity from racer to racer is awful. Then you still have to address the parity and money issue. Its not as simple a fix as people make it. And what do you expect from professional racing where the goal is to go as fast as possible, broken not straight runs contradict that goal.

Visually aerodynamic, I believe was the term Warren Johnson used to describe the Firebirds.

Back then was when we(Chrysler) had to come up with a different body to compete against the long nose of the GM stuff... they shortened the track by 3'
