Actually, it was done to cut down on wind noise from the mirrors. The new car has the same shape, the lights just aren’t integrated into the hood humps.

NASCAR actually owns Road Atlanta and I would love to see them race there. I know they test there sometimes. Having personally driven at Atlanta Motor Speedway and RA, I know which track requires the larger spheroids (no offense Danica).

Problem is that they made them worse as you can’t have the Recaros.

These may languish for awhile. As I recall, the automotive press of the time was not kind. They were big, heavy and not particularly fast.

That’s how mine came. Probably explains why I got it for free.

As long as you’re not bitter or anything. :-)

That said, the car still feels bulky and heavy. It’s nimble and quick, but at the same time you still feel like you’re slinging around a big-ass slab of metal — which you are. This may be my small-car bias showing here, but I didn’t like how massive this thing always felt.

Easy - 1987 Jeep Grand Wagoneer. It was a parts bin truck built by a company (AMC) that was bankrupt and was in the process of being bought by another company that had no money (Chrysler).
