Wow...what a COT car! I've been waiting for some new NASCAR kits to come out - looks like you couldn't wait and did something about it - fantastic model!

What, exactly is C.O.T.?

What, exactly is C.O.T.?

 

C.O.T. stands for  "Car Of Tomorrow".  NASCAR had this great idea to scrap a proven design and reinvent the basic platform with the excuse of making it safer and cheaper so that more teams would be competitive.  Basically all they did was make a "car of twenty years ago" as the drivers derisively call them.  Many of the features have been changed back to the old style platform for this year due to performance problems with the C.O.T.

I think you did a fantastic job on your car and it would be nice if Dale Earnhart had lived to see it but I think the only way he would have driven one is if he could have put it up NASCAR's a ss.

It's the car of tomorrow...today!

Looks great!  I didn't realize they had the kits out already.  All I see on my store shelves are the cars of yesterday.

James, you're in fine form again, showing that when it comes to cars, there's nothing you can't do.

I like the concept--I wish they'd bring back Dodge Daytonas and Superbirds to Daytona. I might even tune in once in a while. The current cars bore me to tears.
