New Dodge COT (Leaked Early)
It does have a few differences from the Ford, but I want to know if I can tell the difference with the decals off.

I used to use the b pillars to tell the difference. I recall being at a Busch race in Richmond in the early 90's and that's how I identified the few Fords in the race.

That's not so impressive as the manufacturer's name was written on the B pillars.

Yeah, read that live at the track as they whizz by ya I see what Lee Roy is saying though(and for me it was more the front end back then) the Chevy and Pontiac has different noses from each other, and the Ford was even more different from those 2. Also look at the size and shape of the quarter windows, too. They were obviously different cars. On today's COT's I would not be able to tell the difference between a Chevy or a Ford on the track without any decals. And if some one wanted to play a joke on me and throw a set of 29 decals on a primerd up version of Shrubs Toyota I'd probably fall for it and wouldn't know the difference until I saw the driver get out of the car.

I like it. It really looks like a Charger.

When NASCAR gets a hold of it, it's going to look a hell of a lot different. The version of the Intrepid that Evernham Motorsports and Dodge first showed us looked nothing like the Intrepid that hit the track at Daytona in 2001.
