> [@fiend540](#): > > Companies don’t dominate in nascar, it’s the teams that dominate in nascar. Rules/restrictions make any differences between manufacturers negligable really. the only real difference in 2006 is the motors. the sheet metal is now identical from manufacturer to manufacturer. and yes this is old news. but seeing hicks flip out over a toyota entering the field but not saying anything about all the drastic changes nascar has made to the rules kind of shows that nascar fans are not about racing but about nameplates and personalities. Ill be a nascar fan to the end…but i wont go buying shitty beer cause a driver i like is sponsored by them, i wont cover myself with garments plastered with a drivers sponsor so i look like a walking billboard, i wont buy a shitty car because its “american made” and my favorite driver is sponsored by them, and most importantly i will welcome any change or new manufacturer in the series that makes it more competative and interesting to watch. this is a _good_ thing for nascar you stupid hicks 😛 ---

It was only in 1984 and was only in Mexico. Very rare car… EDIT: Also for '06 the backends are slightly different also ---
