Hi Guys,

Does anybody have specs/info on the 2012 Cup cars ?

Thanks,

Simon

Here is the information we received from PMNA:

The 2012 cars will in essence remain the same with regards to tech data and we are expecting only a minor price increase. We typically receive the details for the new models from Germany no sooner than summer/early fall. In the meantime, feel free to review the 2011 Vehicle Description.

I have the PDF description of the 2011 - but I can't upload it as it is 500kb and the limit here is 147kb (c'mon - seriously?).

I have cut and pasted the pertinent info:
