i said that they used the 5000CSQ monocoque.  so we find out that
later in the season they replaced bits of it but in essence it was
still a monocoque body compared to the pure tube frames of its
competitors.  the point is that this WAS NOT a tube frame car.
and that is one of the points that is repeatedly made in any
article on these cars, aside from the awd.
