Correct their is no comparison between a race car and a production car anymore, however I would be willing to bet that a great deal of technology gleamed from the race cars ends up in the production cars. Would be willing to bet that the Coyote engine has quite a bit of race car derived...
Yes, but it was cool that Ford swept all the major races this year at Daytona.Truck race on Friday night, the Xfinity race on Saturday and Daytona 500 race yesterday. not to mention the Rolex 24 a couple of weeks ago!
One of the reasons the Eco Boost won was beacuse on last pitstop they were in pits 3 seconds shorter than the Corvette team because they needed less fuel than the Chev. V 8
