Its a Grand Prix.
Yes EVERYBODY learned that you can't beat em, so you join em. Even if you were running a Ford or Chevy. Switch or LOSE. Sponsors don't like losers. Even Ford understands. Its why they are willing to pay Force the big bucks even though they know he is running a Chrysler Hemi knock off. Winning with a Hemi beats the shit out of looking like a stooge with a SOHC.
Even the most die hard Chevy fanatics HAD TO make the switch if they wanted to eat.
Even Jungle Jim made the switch. If he hadn't, slam bam pam would have dumped his loser ass for somebody else.

Did Mc Ewen give up the seat in that fine SOHC powered dragster to run a Chrysler powered Corvette? So it isn't so/
