They've got this modern, low MEGA G+ chassis, AW already has broke the ground a bit by releasing a dragstrip & some cars, it might be whole new field for AFX to explore, mainly because w/their chassis they could make the cars low right out of the box. I'm thinking generic or lesser done funny car liveries from the 70's and a modern version of what they run today. Maybe some old fashioned pro mods as well. Any thoughts?

They already have put out a lot of funny cars and some pro stockers but more are always welcome.

AFX has not released a drag drag car with their Mega G+ chassis or even Mega G chassis yet. All of their drag releases are old, 25+ years at least.

It would be nice if they released some vintage funny cars and pro stocks. The late model versions just don't interest me. I guess they just don't look enough like real cars anymore. Many of the cars they are based on are not very interesting to begin with.
If AFX is selling drag strips, it would make sense to make a variety of drag bodies.
Pro mods would also be welcome. Atleast they have a vintage look about them. Throw in some Gassers too!
Fortunately there are a wealth of quality resin bodies out there. Many of the bodies cast from die casts match up pretty well with the Mega G/G+ 1.7" wheelbase chassis.

I must admit modern funny cars and of course dragsters look nothing like any car ever made. Even the Pro Mods have gone the same road as the funny cars with giant wings and highly modded bodies for aerodynamic purposes. I like the cars to look like actual cars. Jeff Lutz's 57 Chevy is a great example of what a Pro Mod should look like in my opinion. Personally I mount bodies I like on what ever chassis I want to. I have many Super G+ and Tyco chassis with bodies mounted on them that were not made for those chassis. I also squeeze T jet bodies on other chassis.
