I love his statement "It's great to be back with Chevrolet". I think he meant "it's great to be back with anyone who will give me money".

The car doesn't look any different from any of the others. Just a bowtie decal on the nose instead of a blue oval.

x2. Funny Cars bodies haven't looked reasonably like a manufacturer's offering in ages. Pro Stockers aren't too far behind.

Exactly! A friend of mine told me just the other day that the body guys at Force were working on fusing a Camaro nose onto one of their existing bodies!

If he was getting a COPO to race I'd be excited. I think Chevrolet is wasting their money.

Sure Chevy will sell about as many Camaros because of this as Toyota sells based on their "Camry" body on other Funny Cars. Pitiful waste of $ that could be spent on something that would help their technology and consequently their customers.

So there goes any Dollars that would have been spent supporting the COPO and Pro Stock racers! It's very sad to here this.

It's to appeal to the paying spectators that think a funny car is really that brand just like the engine we know different because we race! No different than Nascrap !!!
