Interesting detail here: the wheelhouses -or at least the wheel arches- have not been made bigger on the lower photo, as it would be the case for most race cars. Whereas on the upper picture the front wheel arch IS heightened. Not the same car?
ReplyDeletethere are a couple differences, like the air dam color. Royal dodge on the back of the top car, only says dodge on the bottom car. I suppose these photo were taken months apart and maybe the fenders have been replaced due to getting bashed on during a race
