[JAXvillain]

will it still be front wheel drive?
the reason I put camry in quotes is because no nascar is as advertised

So was the Chevy Lumina or whatever it was they were calling it, and the Pontiac Grand Prix.....

The American cars are about to get pwnted.

The Lumina was worse

I don't watch any of this shit but that brings up a good question...I know toyota has been racing the tundra in the truck racing series(whatever it's called)...how are they doing?

this "camry" will have a tube frame/chassis, be rwd, have a v8, and probably make something like 700hp

And the Ford Taurus

I thought the Taurus was already in it?

So much for modeling their race cars to apply towards their consumer market.

When my car was nailed by a pizza delivery boy I had a Ford 500 for a rental for like 10 days - that car fucking sucked, I hate American Automotive Engineering

And the Ford Taurus

Right, and that has to be the farthest thing from a race car EVER

even the toyota emblem will be barely visible through all the sponsorship paint

my point was that FWD cars have been in Nascar before, I just didn't make it well

The 500 was a flop in almost every sense. Boring to look at, underpowered, and in the long run no different than the Taurus. From what I hear Ford isn't cotinuing it after next sales season.

A guy at the illegal races in Ontario (California) had one of those and used to smoke pretty much everyone out there. It was hilarious to watch. There was also a guy with an old skool Rabbit that would run 13s.

It lagged like it had a turbo, but it didn't have a turbo

afaik, there has never been a real fwd car in nascar...they call it a lumina but some vague similarities with the external skin is where that ends

Exactly, even a Chrysler van hauls ass better

I had a rental Taurus for 3 months and 7500 miles when the Saab got nailed
