Jack you're a master of straying from the story.First off AMC never tried to sneak the SS cars into stock.
The new Mustangs actually are rated higher than the older cars.Show me an AMC who had a hp discreptancy as wide as the new Mustangs.All 68-69 390s were 315hp.All 70 390s were 325 except for the Machine that got 15 more.The big 3 were masters at fudging hp figures.
All i'm saying is that if these cars are allowed in Stock AND they are capable of mid 9s at about 140
it will take years to get them adjusted correctly,as you know a crafty drag racer can hide the true potential of their combo.Look at the #s some of the Top/Jr Stock cars run.It's right in NHRAs face and nothing is done about it.End of communication,beam me up.
