Default 2011 Cup car questions

Guys, are there any significant changes from the 2010 to the 2011 Cup car?

I know there was a fairly important change between the 09 and the 10, how about next year?

Any clues as to availability? The 09 and '10s were fairly easy to get, will the '11s be the same?

Thanks,

There are a few updates, one is the automatic blip on the downshifts..don't remember the rest..will look into it.
You should have no problem getting one..Call Vera at PMNA.

The Autoblip is the mechanical linkage many have fitted to the 09 I assume?

Throttle body as well, did not aks about ABS..that's a biggy would think that would have come up?

Marco is selling his 10 Cup 20hrs, he is running in the Patron Challnege series..3 races, one third place finish and a fifth this past weekend at Mid-Ohio and won the one race he ran at Mosport in the Club Red group.

I just saw Vera today about a few things and asked about the 2011 cars.
They will now come standard with the Premier Fuel Cell and an additional door bar, a la Grand Am. Price with cell will be just under $200K and PMNA is only bringing in 38 cars so I don't think there will be that many available.

We (GMG) have 3 cars allocated to us in 2011for ALMS, WC and one more (Patron ?) if anyone is interested in running with us next year.

I did not ask about specific features like Auto-blipper and ABS but I highly doubt that ABS will be available as standard equipment.
