Default Re: Factory experimental

It will be real interesting to see how this all plays out. First off how can they possibly fit in stock with AA having a 7.5 P/W factor a 500 horse deal has to weigh 3750. Add 100 hp and it’s got a minimum of 4500 pounds. I don’t know what the shipping weight of a mustang is but its sure not 4500 pounds. Anything over lets say 550 hp is going to put them way under the AA 7.5 minimum. So will we see 5000 pound mustangs or an AAA class? I would say that the AHFS would eventually catch up with them but it’s a interesting situation when if they make a 1.4 under run they will have to add something like 140# all at once. Where I would be real concerned if I was an A or AA racer is if these cars end up getting the index’s hit. Another point to ponder is that to use the Hemi Darts and Cudas as an example they were never able to run in stock due to their P/W ratio. They only fit in Super Stock. Isn’t this the case here?
