That'll be neat. They make for great track cars. I have a guy local to me that has a twin turbo Atom 3. It's like 550rwhp or something. Absolutely terrifying on the street.

Hm. Where can I buy a F1000?
Also, is this your car?

Couple guys in my neighborhood got Atoms last year. Looked wild. Think they may have gotten rid of them after pant shitting.
Really? I've never driven one on track, just on the street. They feel fairly balanced? What makes them terrible?
Massive throttle off snap oversteer. I'm sure they are fine on street tires driven "normally" on the road but at 10/10ths on slicks they are sketchy AF
If you want a Cup car, this one comes from a better looking era:

Those were the last good looking stock cars imo.
That was my favorite rules package: stock steel hood panel, stock steel roof panel, stock decklid, fiberglass nose with an air dam valence, small spoiler, and frame rail measured ride height rules. The old school way of preventing too much body manipulation was that a factory Thunderbird/Lumina windshield had to fit and seal in place to pass tech.If you want a Cup car, this one comes from a better looking era:

Fun fact: Compression ratios were unregulated in 90's Winston Cup. Rumor is that Robert Yates was running 500+ miles over 18:1 naturally aspirated.
I'm a sucker for the lines of the big Montes, SS Montes, and little Luminas (and secretly the 87-88 Thunderbird).
Ever had a Black Label Beer?
Never even heard of it. Dead brand or regional?
I liked just about everything from the mid to late '80's era. I was too young to catch the '70's racing.
My, oh my. The always beautiful Lumina never fails to pull on my nostalgic heartstrings. The default image in my brain for the word "racecar" is a 1990 Winston Cup Lumina.
"I'm settin' you up for cool weather... but if that sun breaks, after you're out on the track, you're liable to run real loose real quick. Now I don't wanna worry you or nothin, but, Cole's not ready for that... he's changed, see, he's changed. You cannot get out of control and expect him to bring you right back. He's liable to hurt you, you're liable to hurt him, and... I couldn't handle that, so, ah, you've gotta take care of him... see... you gotta take care of him."
Days of Thunder and Talladega Nights are both fantastic summaries of both the 80's vs 2000s and the changes in our society, Hollywood and even NASCAR.
DoT was a tribute that celebrated the sport, it's heritage and respected the audience and fans.
TN, while funny, was a deconstruction that made fun of the sport, fans and highlighted what a clown world everything has become.
Really highlights the cultural difference. 1980's we celibrated our values and culture. Today we shit all over it and make fun of it.
NASCrap today is a SJW clown show short of WWE antics willing to suck whatever woke dick to get commercial sponsorship and money.

Another beautiful Thunderchicken is up for sale boys. This time is vintage Busch Series flavor in a NAPA wrapper. The 105" chassis is shorter and lighter than Winston Cup's 110" chassis.
The aero coupe is my favorite body in nascar.

Shouldn’t that vintage have been powered by an SVO V6, or it that close to the change over year?
