Absolutely agree..

Re: Lowering the Super Stock GT class weight breaks?
 

I think it is time to expand the GT classes to accommodate the new engines coming out :D

Re: Lowering the Super Stock GT class weight breaks?
 

Isn't this exactly the opposite of the NHRA vision of the future.............

New car bodies in GT with OLD MUSCLECAR Horsepower...........

Now we can have old cars bodies in GT with new engine horsepower.....

My, my how times have changed.....

Re: Lowering the Super Stock GT class weight breaks?
 

The only thing this will accomplish now would be that all the new cars will run GT instead of SS to save their combo from getting horsepower. Just as several do now with the 3 tenths harder index!

Re: Lowering the Super Stock GT class weight breaks?
 

Or SS230 someone could take a 68 Cuda AH body and install a new 426 hemi in it for GT/BB, or everyone's favorite a 69 Camaro with the new 427 Chevy in a class lower GT/CC. New tech, the parts, new adventure.

Re: Lowering the Super Stock GT class weight breaks?
 

Yes while I understand the concept, it's just my opinion that the changing of classes to avoid horsepower hits would happen more than old cars and new motors. Having said that it would give the older cars another class to go to to avoid heads up!

The person that already has a fwd gt car but wants to run the more current engines this needs to happen. Right now you have to go modified in order to go faster equals more money and less durability.Who do we have to call to get this done? John

What is wrong with avoiding a heads up, remember stock and super stock are mostly a bracket race.

How about GT /double AA and trippel AAA ???

Re: Lowering the Super Stock GT class weight breaks?
 

Would like to see this thread stay constructive !! The 8# break is so outdated . Even a lot of the old traditional combinations have gained HP over the last 10 years ,making it hard to run A or B but it rules out most of the new combinations. At a time when we need more interest in SS , why doesn't NHRA move on this?? Like it or not ,fuel injection-blowers-4-valve overhead cams,and more ,are here to stay! We should be elated that the factories are behind drag racing as much as they are!!!!!
