I mentioned that vintage side of me was coloring my opinion. I think vintage formula cars look great, 1960's and early 70's in particular. Back then race tires were treaded, slicks were introduced to F1 racing in 1972. The R/T with treads has a hint of that look, sorta, well a little.....

I should photoshop an R/T with vintage bodywork. It would eliminate the need for wings, which would make crash damage less expensive and it would draft well, which would make the good Dr. happy
