New nose for 2011, what do you think?
General
Reminds me of 1985 when Bill Elliott was the hottest thing since sliced bread. He won 11 races that year, all on superspeedways. And right after he won the Winston 500 at Talledega by making up two laps under green, Ol' DW was whining and complaining that Elliott had the advantage because he was driving a Ford. Well, Duh! Nascar never realized it until 1987 when they changed they Thunderbird body, but the 83-86 Thunderbird body was tremendously smaller and narrower that the Monte Carlo at that time. And they never had time to get them side-by-side, because the Fords would blow their doors off!-Cody

Thinking back a few years when every team would cry and sing the blues about "Oh the Fords get a 1/4" added to their rear spoiler" and "The Chevy teams have an unfair advantage" I'm glad they all use a common template... somewhat. I agree the cars need to look more like the cars from the manufacturers but I don't see that being a possibility in the modern era. Aero is huge and there is no way to equalize it for all teams, and it wouldn't be much of a sport if one manufactuer had a better package. If you ask me aero has nearly killed this sport and it all started when NASCAR tried to "Add a 1/4" here and take a 1/8" there." This is why we have common templates now.
