Class for 2011 Camaro SS/Street legal
 

Is it possible to drive one off of the street and onto the strip and run somewhat close to the standard?

Re: Class for 2011 Camaro SS/Street legal
 

not even close Bobby, unfortunately. And how about this, the street going versions of the mustangs and challengers aren't even in the guide

Re: Class for 2011 Camaro SS/Street legal
 

which classes would it fit into?

Re: Class for 2011 Camaro SS/Street legal
 

They are natural C cars, the 400hp automatic @3770 w driver in C/SA. The stick at 426hp weighs 4004 with driver. I would say with the cost to build a "competitive" version from scrathc, that anyone with the money would probably either a) build an older car, or b) build a DP/CJ.

As you can see by the HP factors and shipping weights, building one would be futile against the new factory cars.

I'm looking at a right out of the showroom Camaro -- straight from the factory. Sponsor would like for me to do that for the publicity. I guess there's nothing stock about a stock car.

Re: Class for 2011 Camaro SS/Street legal
 

Very true Bobby. About the only place you could possibly do that would be an unleashed event. run the 12.00 class

Re: Class for 2011 Camaro SS/Street legal
 

Not even close. You would have better luck getting a AVEO to run under the index.

Re: Class for 2011 Camaro SS/Street legal
 

an aveo probably will go under the index. what is the index in DGC/SA (D/Golf Cart)

Re: Class for 2011 Camaro SS/Street legal
 

What about IHRA pure stock? If it fit a class that would be a real good real world representation....Just a thought. I would like to see one for diversity among the new cars.

Re: Class for 2011 Camaro SS/Street legal
 

It would take some work to make one of those tanks run 12.00. I can't really tell they are any faster than an '01 or '02 LS1 Camaro/Firebird. And, I have driven a few. They are quieter & smoother.

Re: Class for 2011 Camaro SS/Street legal
 

I just want to race a real "stock" car and can't. IHRA used to have their Pure Stock divisions in the 1970s and 1980s. Are they still around?

Re: Class for 2011 Camaro SS/Street legal
 

Yes, But the car has to be in the classification guide...

Re: Class for 2011 Camaro SS/Street legal
 

its in NHRA's, would that be enough for a cross over?

Re: Class for 2011 Camaro SS/Street legal
 

Bobby....Danny Waters Sr.should be able to tell you if it would be legal and in the guide. IHRA uses the NHRA guide sometimes. It would be a B/PS which is the same 9 lb wt. break as C/SA or C/S stick. The sticks and automatics run heads up in pure stock. The index was 12.45 the last time I looked in drag review. At least put a 9 " slick or some DOT drag slicks on it and open the exhaust (cut outs) to have a half decent chance to run the index number. Very few B/PS cars running (if any) so if you could run 12.44/12.45 it woud just be a shoe polish race for the eliminator just like NHRA stock is 99% of the time.

P.S. The best part of pure stock is you do NOT need to install a roll bar and safety harness in your brand new street ride. Factory OEM seat belts or aftermarket lap belts and a helmet is all that is required to go thru tech for pure stock unless your car runs quicker than 11.50. If you ran an NHRA or IHRA regular stock class like M/S (14 lb. break) and above then the roll bar and harness are required.
