This post is intriguing to me, because if the shifters are allowed, then it'll be added to a growing list of parts legal on Stockers that weren't back in the '80's or '90's. What humors me more is when I look at the pure stock drag racing from Mid-America Raceway. They show muscle cars that run 14's and 15's in the quarter-mile. Interesting that my Z24 Cavalier ran a 17.55 @ Bandimere Speedway in October 1994, which at sea level would've been a 16.51. My point being cars that run 10's to 11's today (thanks to allowances many Stockers enjoy that weren't legal 30-40yrs ago), would've only been 2sec's (+/-) quicker than my so-called "slow car"!
When I ran that 17.55 "Shark Bait" 🦈, still had the power robbers in it, and was a street legal car itself!

Normally I would start a thread in honor of April being "Muscle Motor Month", but now that the FS ('er Factory Super-Charged) cars get to run in Stock, even the A‐D class cars have since become chasees, at the hands of mouse motor supercharged modern muscle cars!

Heck, even beyond the above modern day reality, I can compare my FWD car to Stockers back in the '70's and '80's, and Surprise Surprise, they didn't run 3-5sec.' quicker than my Cavalier, like they do nowadays!!!! 🤔
