The body panels aren't Ford or Chevy, there something Nascar said they could run, If they wanted to be a Stock car they would have to have Front wheel drive.
Chevy and Mopar don't have to agree on anything, Nascar makes the rules, always has.
If one manufactuer gets to far ahead Nascar shuts them down, not just the super bird, they did it to the Boss 429, Only let ford race one race with that. Was way to fast. Chevys the only one that couldn't keep up with the field , Nascar being Pro Chevy didnt like that, just like they don't like it today.
RCR can make 800 hp out of there Chevys, only probem with that is Robert Yates and Jack Rosh can Make 850 hp out of the same cubic inch, 50 hp difference is an advantage for the Fords, and Nascar don't like that. Hence, smaller restrictor plates, taller spoilers in the back, shorter in the front, Slow Fords down to the Chevys level.
Its good for the fans, but it sucks.
