I haven't seen a thread yet about this topic, and wasn't sure if anyone knew. I figured i'd let you guys know as i'm actually kind of excited for the change. I've never really been a fan of Nascar, but i'll probably watch it and keep track after the switch

Sounds good. And HOPEFULLY there won't be any "aero" noses made like the current Charger. Charger looks like a brick in street trim, not bad, but DOES NOT BELONG IN NASCAR.

Don't they all end up using the same engines?

**cuervo25_1** · 07-15-2009, 03:39 PM

oooo that means maybe camaro will be inn as well. if not NASCAR needs their heads examined. They need to get rid of Toyota alltogether that is a disgrace.There wasn't any toyotas running shine,it was ford ,chrysler,GM, and american automakers that are no longer made.

GM said there is no plans on bringing in the camaro. They are sticking with the impala for now and in 2010.

Nascar is a joke. they need to go back to the everyone has there own car design. if they can let each of them bring there own body lines, it will work.

I read that was in the Nationwide [ read old Busche} series not Cup ....

**cammed goat** · 07-15-2009, 06:49 PM

I actually like the Nationwide cars better than the COT.

**0rion** · 07-15-2009, 06:51 PM

wow.....I can't believe they're changing headlight and grill stickers.

I do wish they would be different enough that the Cup teams would stay away ...

Hey, remember back in the mid 90s when Busch ran V6s? When Buick and Olds used to run?

I'd like to see it be Corvette, Dodge Viper, Shelby and possibly the G8. I can't figure out what Toyota could bring to the table unless they bring the Supra back out....I would def watch more then. I guess it comes down to specs and aerodynamic regulations with all the different body styles....

those cars are sports cars .. aka ALMS or Speed GT ... maybe even Rolex GT ...no need for Vettes and Vipers to just go around in circles ..

Supposedly their using real Challengers and Mustangs 'close to stock form', but Chevy opted out using the Camaro to keep using the Impala. My theory is they're planning on rebadging the G8 as Impalas since it is heavily regarded by the auto world, and GM killed Pontiac so no more G8s. Then again, thats my theory

I did not know this. Doesn't sound good at all.
