I can see this logic, BUT what does that mean for new cars, such as the challenger that ride on a chassis that was already in use in other cars for several years? Is the challenger just a charger/magnum/300 with a body kit?

Plus, a lot of cars share the same base platforms but much of the chassis is still exclusive to that particular model. You can't just take a Charger and slap a Challenger body on it. Though I am sure you know that. ![]()

Just a friendly argument, but it seems hard for me to buy into: - A redesign constitutes a changed chassis - But a new car can use an old chassis, and that's cool. In fact, by what you're saying, did the camaro/firebird ever get a redesign? Up until the latest version, they were all f-bodies. Edit: and as far as it not counting because it's not the same model, the firebird and camaro were different models, but talk about only a couple minor differences. You couldn't even tell what car you were in from the inside. |
