There is always talk about who's got the advantage, Ford, Chevy, whatever.
My question for those who know, is about how much that matters outside a team. Certainly, any advantages they find for Waltrip, Junior is also going to benefit. But why the rest of the Chevys? DEI isn't sharing their secrets with Jeff Gordon.
I suppose that leads to another question which might answer the first. What role does Chevrolet have in putting together those cars. Just what does Chevy put together? Chassis? Engine? Body? After Chevy hands them off, where is the wiggle room for the teams to adjust? Basically, if any of you has the time, knowledge and inclination, could you explain that to me?
Unrelated...I asked a friend of mine his opinion on this. He couldn't give a good answer. He's knows a little about engines but not much about nascar. . .
I never figured out why they use carburators instead of e.f.i's. Can you get more fuel in? Is it only because you can put a restrictor plate in a carburator? Are carbs better than efi's for an engine that's wound up so high so often? Anyone know?
Thanks for any answers.
