But, Bob, you and I know the wheelbase of the current showroom model has nothing to do with the race car's wheelbase. They just stretch or shrink the body parts to line up with the race car's wheel locations.
And I challenge anyone to show sufficient similarities between the 2008 Dodge Charger and the 2008 Dodge Charger COT other than the front bumper cover which allow one to identify them as "sisters".
Heck, include the front bumper cover, I don't care. Ya still can't do it!
Race cars, especially stock cars, can sometimes be constructed of diverse body parts without substantially affecting the look of the car.
In our 2nd race of the 3 this past year with our Late Model we suffered some nose damage. We found a brand new (albeit with lot's of "garage wear") '99 Monte Carlo nose cover in the attic. Since it was only for one race, we grafted it onto the car. Looked pretty good on a '96 Thunderbird!!! (That's the body that was on the Late Model at the time.)
