The good thing is we have the self righteous "champions" here to keep us from our harmful heathen opinions.....oh I almost forgot, our whining too.

That being said, the setup from the centro will probably be close, as the basic setup for all midmotor cars are close.
Like someone else said - it's all speculation. Hopefully this gives you a little insight as to how I arrived at mine.

My assumptions, and they are just that, are based on the fact that the centro has been around for a few years. If Associated thought it was the be all, end all design they probably would have bought the rights and branded it theirs like the jconcepts bj4 = b44. The Centro is a great car but it's not an Associated. They could have released this car earlier but it would have been a compromise. They have held on to it until they were confident it was something worth following in the footsteps of the B4 - a design that stood on top for 10 years. Following that logic, it will not be a centro copy.

Yes, the B4 has been around for a while. Yes, the Centro conversion has been out and updated. Does that make the car outdated? No. When the car is no longer competitive is when I would consider the car outdated. We have yet to see if there will be any groundbreaking features on the new car. This could very well be an attempt at an all-Associated car that may or may not be a big improvement over the conversion.
The current conversion can more than hold its own against the current crop of buggies out there. We will see how the new car will do at the Reedy and Cactus races. I guess I'm not ready to trade up based on pictures and press releases just yet.

Right now, it is ALL speculation based on two small pictures with bodies covering most of the details we'd like to see.
