I like the look of the newer nascar cars. The old "twisted sister" was so tweaked for aerodynamics that it barely resembled a car once you got up close. Grill over in front of the left tire, greenhouse sitting half sideways on top, rear panel was way offset, behind the right tire.
They have a pretty tight box to work in yet there's always a car or 2 (or in that one race, 6 of the 8 that come out of that one shop) that can drive around then drive away from the rest.
Technology is at the point today they have to make a pretty tight box for the teams to work in. If not they'd have cars in the stands every other time one got backwards. That's why they put restrictor plates in this year. They were running 220 into the corners at Michigan the last couple years. Rusty Wallace tested an unrestricted car at Talladega 10 years ago and was hitting nearly 240. The cars don't like staying on the ground once they get up near 200.
They do need to slow them down and take away some of the aerodynamic downforce. It would stop some of the 1-car runaway on some of the mid size tracks.
