Gen 2 and 3 for me.
Gen 2 were the best looking (i mean just look at that '73 Charger!) and Gen 3 were the fastest until Nascar (quite rightly i think) shat themselves and slowed em down. Must have been great being at the track in the Gen 2 era. You could tell what car was what even without a number on the side. Only now are we almost geting back to that with the Gen 6. |

Upon pondering on this, I think there are really only two types of stock cars, and this bled on down to othr sanctions also.
Pre-Taurus and post Taurus. I do have to admire GM, to a degree, for creating the fwd Monte Carlo for the NASCAR tracks, even if it was a miserable failure. By then Big Bill was dead that the remaining France boys were clueless little rich twits. |

The street car was a fwd crapwagon but its body shell was, poorly, designed for NASCAR.
In addendum, while the Taurus was straw that made stock cars a total farce, the rule that allowed them to run a non-stock wheelbase is actually just as bad. |
