Except that the new car is supposed to be significantly faster, and is designed for both road courses and ovals. Ballasting up the new cars to keep the old ones in the game would rather defeat the point of even having new cars. And I don't think you could make the old cars properly competitive with the new ones in "unrestricted" form, especially on non-ovals.
It occurs to me that maybe the other aero kit makers intentionally want to leave a year, to see how the Dallara goes, and use them as a guinea pig so that the 2013 kits will be better. Given how political and "convenient" decisions in much of racing have become, I wouldn't put it past Lola, Swift, or Penske to do something like that.
