NASCAR would have been much better off if they had gone that route. The problem is that it is such a specialized form of racing, one car will always end up being better than the rest... well, I know that is the point, but why would a new team use the Ford when the Chevy always wins? Kind of like what Grand Am Cup has gotten to with all the Rileys.

NASCAR didn't want that. They wanted to level the field and dumb it down just a bit more.

But, I agree that it would make it a little more interesting if good old American muscle cars were out there again... even if they are just tube frame knock-offs.
