NAStyCAR


What you see here is a Mustang version of a NASCAR race car. To be more specific, it’s to run in the Nationwide series. To be more specific, it’s the same body everyone else runs but with Mustang stickers attached. I understand that more extreme race cars meant to resemble production cars do take some liberties in the design. Suzuki’s Pike’s Peak stormers are good examples. But while they at least have a slight resemblance to their production car forms, the sedan-like profile (possibly Dodge Charger based) of the Nationwide cars doesn’t look at all like a Mustang, and slapping some Mustang stickers on doesn’t make a very convincing or appealing looking car. Marketing at it’s worst.
