Here is what Jim Sokoloff had to say on this subject in 1/8/97 &
1/10/97. You can make your own decision as to which is best.
------------------- Jim Sokoloff's response ---------------------------
The engines are all identical.
The aerodynamic "efficiencies" are all identical.
The differences in aerodynamics are solely in regards to the balance
of downforce front vs rear. Ford has the most aerodynamic front
downforce, Chevy the most aerodynamic rear downforce, and Pontiac is a
more balanced downforce body.
The reason some setups will work better on some chassis is the
combination of suspension settings and aerodynamics. (A suspension
setup which might be a little tight and bind the car up too much on a
Chevy might loosen up just enough on one of the other makes to be
faster. Likewise, a Ford setup that works well at Martinsville might
push too badly on a Chevy...)
The car makes are close enough in the game that a driver could win
with any of them. (I won't get into whether that's really the case on
Sunday Winston Cup racing in this newsgroup... ;-) )

In general, all other things being exactly equal, and the car running
at a decent speed (so that aerodynamic flow is important), a Ford will
be the "loosest", the Pontiac middle, and the Chevy tightest. However,
changing car body styles is not an alternative to learning how to use
the garage... :-)
