The cars that are raced in NASCAR have nothing to do with the production model and it's been that way since the late 80s when GM began discontinuing the rear drive Monte Carlo, Cutlass Supreme, and Regal. That's why the sport is such a joke...there is nothing stock about it. Everything is regulated so much (even the bodies) that you essentially have the same car for each manufacturer with different stick on decals. I've heard that the hoods and greenhouses are usually loosely based off the production model car, but otherwise they're cookie cutter bodies. NASCAR is like the WWF..."racertainment."
