Wasn't it also referred to as a "slush-box"? Or was that the Ford 2-speed transmission used before the 3- speed Cruisematic was introduced? Eisboch |

Or was that the Ford 2-speed transmission used before the 3- speed Cruisematic was introduced? Cruisematic - wow, that brings back a few memories. |

As to why fans identify with a brand is very simple. The engines are made and distributed by the car manufacturer, that is if you are talking about Sprint Cup cars.

It's a damned shame you try SO hard to sound like you know what you are talking about. |

I don't follow NASCAR at all, but from what little I've seen, it seems that today fans identify more with the drivers, racing teams and organizations than the brand of car. Makes sense because all the cars look the same anyway. Even those purchased and driven by the public pretty much look alike now-a-days. Not so back in the '60's. Then, a NASCAR Ford, Chevy, Dodge or Plymouth looked like the one sitting in your parent's driveway, except it had a big number and some stickers on it. Then, you related to the car brand. The manufacturers knew that and it coined the term "Win on Sunday, buy on Monday". Eisboch |

There was in the past, when there were "stock cars" or close to stock cars being raced. |

But how many engines come from the factory capable of 800+ horse power? My only point is that engines are worlds apart in capabilities after the engine builders work their magic. |
