Tony, an LT1 at 279 hp is far more honest than a 360 DP rated at 275! At the same weight those DP motors can run 9.0's or faster! NO LT1 is coming close to that!

When you this and claim you never took the valve covers off, it’s a slap in the face to everyone else in the community, just like the welfare Benz driver. Granted, NHRA is to blame, but why didn’t Chevy submit absolutely ridiculous #’s? Sure they are bogus, but not nearly as bad as Ford and Chrysler. I have no problem with the new cars and fully expect to get my Azz handed to me by one in heads up. I'm just trying to answer Joseph's question. I think if he runs it at 85-90% throttle, people won't have bad things to say about his car anymore. He'll quit slapping people in the face with his racing style and the community will embrace the new cars.

Btw, I would never have this conversation with Lil' Joe. He along with every other Teuton I've conversed with are very respectable intelligent men who would never start calling people names when they don't agree with them. Only Joseph does this and should not represent any other Teuton. If you want to read exactly how it went down, here you go...

I do believe you are sadly mistaken!

Still bogus.

Peter, do you think they could go to SS in Stocker form (9" tires, foot brake & all), and run 1.12 under the SS index, at more MPH than any legit SS car in that class has ever gone? Saw a DP do it at Houston.
