    Nationwide COT- Ford Mustang.

    Well, it is official, Ford is using the Mustang for its Nationwide entry of the COT, and unlike the Cup car, these cars really look actually pretty appealling. I know...some of you wont buy that these cars will race better, but I think if anyone in NASCAR, whether it be team owners or officials thought that COT wasn't working, we don't have the announcement of the COT intro for 2010.

    Here is the Mustang:

    the CoT looks so much better with a spoiler, but the mustang decals are horrid, do not flow with the front at all.

    so, is this assuming Chevy will still be the Camaro, Dodge the Challenger, and Toyota, as a Prius :

    Celica would have been ok, of course they don't make it anymore. The new Solara is fairly sporty, so i'd go with that instead of the Camry.

    Since the COT doesn't resemble any production car, they could put any model's graphics on it. The COT is 13 inches longer, 1.5 inches narrower, 5.5 inches lower than the stock Mustang with a 2 in narrower track. At least the stock Mustang is a rear driver.

    It's not a bad move as far as marketing is concerned. At least you can associate the Mustang with performance.

    GM keeps saying they want to go with an Impala, which proves how they ended up in bankruptcy I guess.....
