I don't see a direct frontal shot of the black one but IMHO the paint makes a ton of difference in how asthetically pleasing they are. The Black One IMHO is passable to this Open Wheel fan. The White one. BLAH!

Bruce has done a nice job with these new bodies they look even better in person.

Black on looks like the old Plastic Express of Jr. Kurtz

The cage really looks strange. Kind of like an old jalopy or something...

Take the pods off and fix that cage so it looks a bit more sleek and it could get a passing grade.

Yeah, what's with the funky looking cages on these cars? Drop the front 1 or 2 inches, and you could get an entire different response.

I like the nose, tail, and understand the need for the sidepods and rear wheel setback, but please fix the way the cage looks.

While Mr. Ashmore has many degrees, and a great history in auto racing. At the show today I ask many people if he had ever built or designed a front engine race car? And every one told me no. Is this really true? Maby this is the problem. Another question is, have these been tested on a race track? A steel tube frame at those speeds they wish to run is really old school and unsafe for sure.

needs more rake in the cage and possibly a little less side pods (or none) but its an improvement over the first design.

Looks like more has changed then the nose, the side pods are different then the old new silver crown cars. And how about them goodyears.
