Really? Some of you really like that airbox? Is it necessary? And as far as it being more racy? Most of the fastest cars have been sleek and sexy! If this is what they're going for, it's a disgrace! Someone is succeeding at doing away with this series for good!
I personally don't mind the sidepods that much, but that car as it sits certainly won't get me out of my chair to purchase tickets, pics, memberships etc........
Do they want this series to be the worst/ugliest series in history?
I'm still hopeful for an exciting future in Indycar, but don't have a good feeling about it currently.......
This car is garbage it makes the COT look good. I don't even know how to describe it. Theres no design language, it looks as if random junk was thrown together. It reminds me of that old show junk yard wars if they had to make a open wheel car, or semi open wheel car.
P.S. Ill be the 1st to say it but I think the old car looks better lol.

First of all, I agree with you, airbox and all - the current car looks better and it is no beauty queen.... perhaps we have just grown used to its ugly mugg... :-) I personally thought the G-Force/Panoz was a decent looking racer for what it is worth.....Quote:

Now that pic is ugly! For every fans sake get rid of that airbox!! Bring back the sig hoop!!
I honestly don't think the airbox is the issue. It is those sidepods. If it had some "normal" sidepods it really wouldn't be too bad. Just my opinion though.
I think that low angle s one of hte better angles to view the car - sometimes it is better to look a pig in the eye :p :Quote:

I am trying this attachment thing for the first time hopefully it works....
I thought this concept was much better than the one they chose..... It is not perfect but....
Anybody see Tony Cotmans interview in the race yesterday? He doesn't like the sidepods either. :D
