...........great to see toyota increasing their involvement in drag racing.
I said Batmobile the second I saw it too!At first glance, it kind of reminded me of Bernstein’s bat mobile Buick LeSabre from the 80’s.
Camaro body with different stickers for lights !
I'm with you. I read comments on FB and usually it's not even worth offering a response. All the more reason we need to attract a newer, younger audience. Even the older people that have been around, but are not really OLD, seem to want to continue pining for the "good old days", and throw out messages without really thinking it through. I could write a long list of examples, but I won't. All I know is, there's a lot of really cool stuff happening going into 2022, and I'm looking forward to it!It's hilarious but also sad at how social media works.
By the looks of it, Twitter approved the new body. Even Kyle Busch and Denny Hamlin acknowledged it. I know they're Team Toyota but the acknowledgement from two of motorsports biggest stars was pretty cool. At least to me.
Facebook tho?
Competition Plus posted about it and to my surprise people quite a few positive responses.
Dragzine posted about it and all you see is people living on old and tired narratives. I'm all for having opinions but I really can't stand when they're outdated and misinformed. Its pretty common from the "NHRA is dying!" crowd.
I can't wait to see it on the track and I can't wait to get more silly season news.
Spot on. It's a lot to be excited about right now heading into 2022. I can't wait to see what else comes about. I personally think NHRA should be proud of the on track product that was produced this past season.I'm with you. I read comments on FB and usually it's not even worth offering a response.

jeff, i recall years ago seeing FC's passing under templates during tech. not even sure how bodies are teched and/or certified these days. was toyota able to lobby nhraThe roof is also 2" higher so you can build cars with a 2" higher rollcage for taller drivers (who don't have as much helmet clearance to the cage) or to get more visibility.
Dragzine responses never disappoint when it comes to NHRA, nearly always a dumpster fire. Most have scar tissue and scabs on their knuckles from dragging them on the ground so much.It's hilarious but also sad at how social media works.

Only if you're 100% blind and almost dead. I guess we can assume you're legally blind and on your deathbed? That car looks NOTHING like a Camaro.
So show me where they're the same? Because I can easily show you all the differences. Just look anywhere on the entire body lol

Anyone with a lick of sense and sight can see they aren't anywhere close to the same. Literally everything on the body is different. The cabin shape, the hood, front end, sides...LITERALLY EVERYTHING.
It doesn't have an aero advantage over the other bodies? It surely appears as though it does.
