Why is it so clear that these cars are so GROSSLY underfactored? Why can they not produce 600+ HP in race trim - the older combinations in A & AA do and most are factored at equal or less HP than the Cobra Jet (A couple of the Hemis are factored higher but not by much). Again take a guess at how much HP it takes a 67 Fairlane to go 138mph - it's a helluva lot more than 425. The system has never been based on legitimate HP since the rules started allowing Stock to not be "stock".
