Driver's seat moved toward the tunnel about 3"
More foam inside driver's door skin
Differential/tranny transaxle at the rear
Independent suspension on all four corners with coilovers
All composite body panels
Vents in the hood
Diffuser under the rear pan
Split exhaust system, one pipe out each side again
Teams are allowed to have 7 cars
Most teams should have 2 completed cars by Feb
That's all that comes to mind at the moment.
Yeah, it's pretty much all different.

Exactly right along with overall more power for most of the intermediate tracks (670) everywhere except Atlanta, Daytona, and Talladega will have the 670 package. The cars also look way more like their production brothers. Not just the same overall body with each manufacturers individual front and rear panels. The new car bodies are unique to each manufacturer. The numbers are Also moved foreword on the door along with a 6 speed sequential tranny replacing the long lived straight cut 4 speed. Just a few more major changes to add to the list.
