CLASS RACER FORUM - View Single Post - Has there ever been a 4 cyl. car run in the 11's in Stock ?

I've been looking at the various Ford turbo 4 cylinder combos for SS for quite some time and had petitioned NHRA to allow non V8 GT cars (GT is currently V8 only). With a swap over to a flat steel hood, my car could run these classes. As mentioned there are some killer combos out there if they were legal. I think NHRA sees the can of worms that could occur if these combos were made legal and doesn't want to mess with it.

Joe, regarding how fast a 4 cylinder can run in SS, if someone wants to compensate me for killing the SS/ES index, I'll show how far into 10's I can run.
