Will Gold Series be the standard?

[FFighter_21]

I saw this, and realized, it seems like most of the new announced cars are the "Gold Series".
I wonder if that is what most cars are going to be now, unless Action is sure they can sell a ton, then they will make that car in the ARC/Platinum Series?

What's the MSRP for a Gold Series car?

I think it will be for most Nationwide cars. On another note, maybe this set was a premonition...

I think you're right, Spool. Looking at Pyramid racing in the Nationwide Series section... most of them are Gold Series, except for the bigger names (Edwards, Earnhardt).

True. But it's a hell of a lot better than another cancellation.

It doesn't matter-- the headlights will probably be wrong and no one will buy them anyway!:motz:

i know i will get hung for this.... Does anyone really look at the damn headlights and say "well F that, the head lights are wrong, I'll remember that in 5 years when i look at my collection"
