The chassis are identical and think a majority of the parts are as well. It's the fine tuning that makes it an oval car. It's the seams, massaging the bodywork so it's as smooth as possible, the bearings, making sure they are absolutely perfect, the shocks, the package must be perfect and spot on. It sounds like most teams started on the oval car over the winter and built it from the start for Indy. You'll never get that time back, especially shown when you look at Kaiser at the sharp end until that car was wrecked.
