Re: Ed, help me here
And guys still argue against a Lb/CU inch class where fixed rules prevent such issues.
I honestly believe the excitement of finding a bogus motor combination is as much fun as racing for some.. Problem is the upset when another MORE bogus car shows up or NHRA factors your motor and you are stuck with a Dog...again.. |

The 1997 Corvette was not an LT1, that was the first LS1 car. Camaro/ Firebird got the LS1 in 1998.

Re: Ed, help me here
Damn I buy an LS1 corvette and now y'all wanna change the rules? Funny when Stan Holt built the first LS1 vette and it was rated at 345 and the camaro/firebird was rated at 305 no one was bitching that the camaro needed 40 more hp put on it...just saying...but as far as I'm concerned y'all can bitch and complain all y'all want, I'm gonna work hard enough to go fast with whatever is thrown at me...and also why is it just the corvette that's triggered y'all interest when the GTO is the same factor...the whole system of horsepower factoring has become pretty comical anyway...lol...well my lunch break is over, I gotta get back on the dyno while u guys keyboard race...;-)

Re: Ed, help me here
Allen that's what happens when you have a 'newer' car as opposed to a 'new car' as opposed to an 'old car'. Welcome to our world.

Exactly, once your combo has been factored or worse yet, eliminated, it's time to change. I switched to lbs/cu in back in 1990 (SS/A to SS/AM) and never looked back. It's a much happier place to live.

Re: Ed, help me here
Yea but my issue is this, the car I bought and plan to keep racing was a street car from the factory and has been in the guide for 14 years and now all of a sudden it's an issue that the guys racing the camaros and firebirds got that combo hit and now by proxy myself and the other guys with this combination should get penalized simply because? I just think it's foolish that this has all of a sudden come up...u guys need a hobby!

Re: Ed, help me here
I'd say that's a damn good way to look at it. Have fun with the new car!
