I surely do like the looks of this car. Seems like Ford is kind of happy about being with us now.

Those are cool for sure ..... Paul is making me look bad ;D

These pics show show what Nascar racing has come to in recent years. The splitter is almost on the ground. The side skirts and rear wing changes the look as well.

Nascar could fix this very easily and it would cost almost nothing. This kind of body treatment has changed the dynamics of stock car racing tremendously.

If it's old it's cool and keepin it real is the rule

I was there with my Dad. That was an awesome looking car then and especially now. Really stands out and gives the car a certain Persona. Altman43

Good points Rick!

Of course that splitter is made of carbon fiber.

Even a tiny shard of carbon fiber will pierce a race tire. (Watch a Formula 1 race if you want to see how bad that can be).

That tiny shard of carbon will not be picked up by TV cameras.

So...perfect "debris yellow." They can call 'em whenever they want...and just tell us track crews picked up some cf scraps.

I'm just sayin'....
