What a good idea. Remember SCCA Trans-am series from the 70s AMX, Camaro, Mustang, Trans-Am, and CHALLENGER and CUDA. It was awsome to see these cars on the edge. I love watching the old films of the Trans-Am series and the cars are just that. Production cars with a roll cage and production engines and drive trains. Its was very popular and you could pull for your make to win. And you had braging rights. Now in NASCAR it the multi team with the most money. And you change from a Dodge to Chevy by changing decals and a motor. I like it when the driver has to take it to the edge and show some talent. I need more wedge or my tires need a 1/2 lb more air. I like NASCAR, but its not what it used to be. People associate with brand loyalty and when you take that away... all you have is the driver and team. You will lose many of the brand loyal fans and there are many. If this is true about the pony cars, it will be a breath of fresh air. But like it was written, they need to be production cars and production engines. And if driving one or the other gives you an edge... so be it. Let the others catch up.
