NASCAR- Making this up as they go?

[Lee Stewart]

Both true stories . . and both insane stories, when you think about just what some engine mechanics and parts designers are able to do with, when it is all torn down to the block . . is a a motor designed for a passenger vehicle.

8000 HP motors! . . . . . 19,000 RPM 2.4 ltr engines!

Yep and @ 2.4 litres V8 32 valve and only 95 kilos in weight and 19,000 RPM is on the low side many of the F1 engines are running 21K plus RPM relines.

I'd prefer that it wasn't a spam thread. I did see the car of tomorrow on TV last night. Kind of an upright, not really slick looking car. Looked OK with the factory paint jobs, but not too great in primer.

I still laugh at the title CAR OF TOMORROW maybe if tomorrow was 10 years ago LOL. Sorry I just don't get Nascar and their OLD technology.

They look retarted to be honest they really need an overhaul of the entire series to mimick more of the AMLS series cars. Or maybe just maybe go back to the actual production cars they are supposed to resemble.

My son really likes the new cars, the spoiler mostly. Kind of gives them a rice burner look if you ask me!

LOL kids eh I am not a big fan of the ricers especially the movie the slow and the tedious. I prefer American Le Mans and the Australian superca series and the touring car championships in England. My favourite is F1 and Moto GP I mean look at all that technology even in the bikes hell an AMA superbike now has more technology in it than the average NASCARP.

I used to be a big IMSA fan back in the day. Loved the Castrol Jags and the Nissan was very, very fast.

I agree the Nissa was a beast to race against from all I remember from watching them race. See if Nascar wants to have a car of tomorrow then make it a true car of tomorrow and not a mock up of what they are trying to imply as being a charger or fusion or camry or impala they aren't fooling anyone and the technology used under the skin is to damn old to be called anything of tomorrow. Start using composite bodies instead of sheetmetal make the car look like a true car of tomorrow instead of pretending it is based on a production car that still has more technology packed under it's hood than anything on a nascar grid.
